Premier League Notes - Week 27

Sports - Football - Premier League - Week 27

The 27th week of the 2019-2020 Premier League Football season saw:

28 goals - most by BUR, MUN, WOL, ARS and LIV = 3 each

269 shots - most by Southampton = 28

101 on target - most by Burnley = 10

115 corners - most by Liverpool = 16

213 fouls - most by Aston Villa = 17

38 bookings - most by Newcastle = 6

1 red card - Lazaro for Newcastle

3 penalties - 2 scored (Jay Rodriguez for Burnley, Bruno Fernandes for Man United)

#CHETOT

The Blues were bossing it at Stamford Bridge. Olivier Giroud broke the deadlock off a rebound (15’), after the ball came off the woodwork from Ross Barkley’s shot, following Hugo Lloris' save against the ex-Arsenal man’s first attempt. Brilliant goal! Marcos Alonso doubled their lead shortly after the break (49’), a yard outside the area, with his left foot, across goal and into the bottom right corner. BOSS! Frank Lampard’s choices and lineup were definitely vindicated. And it could have been a much worse thrashing for José Mourinho’s men, if it weren’t for their French stopper, and Giovani Lo Celso should have been sent off for an aweful challenge on Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta, but the VAR didn't feel it was worth anything - the officials at Stockley Park later admitting it was a mistake and should have been a red card. But there will be no retrospective action taken as it was all in the referee’s report. Absolute farce. VARce. Erik Lamela’s shot/cross was deflected in by Antonio Rüdiger to pull one back for Spurs (90’), which made added time more interesting (and my prediction bang-on). But Mourinho is still winless as an away manager at the Bridge, and Spurs have only won one of the last 34 clashes at the ground. The great Portuguese didn’t see or comment anything of note in the match. Yeah, rrrrright. Liar liar, you’re gonna get fired! Again.

#BURBOU

After consulting the VAR, referee Mike Dean overturned Josh King’s opener because there was a handball by Philip Billing in the build-up (24’). Matěj Vydra controlled Dwight McNeil's through-ball, ran at the defence and hammered his strike home (53’). And then again, Dean chalked a Bournemouth goal off, Harry Wilson denied this time after a counter, Adam Smith this time the one handling the ball in the build-up - and a penalty was given to Burnley instead! Absurd! Jay Rodriguez netted the spot kick in the top corner to double the home side’s lead (61’). Mad. McNeil’s left-foot drive into the bottom corner made it three (87’). Absolute misery for the Cherries. Ridiculous refereeing. Clear win for the Clarets, taking them up to eighth, whilst Eddie Howe's men remain 16th, just two points away from the drop zone 

#CRYNEW

Patrick van Aanholt bent in a brilliant free-kick to open the scoring just before the break (45’). In the final minutes, Valentino Lazaro was given a straight red card for bringing down Wilfried Zaha, pulled him back as he was through on goal. It all helped Roy Hodgson’s men to their first win in 2020, ending their run of three league defeats, the two sides exchanging places to 13th and 14th respectively. Magpies boss Steve Bruce summarised it well in the post-match interview: "The better team won."

#SHUBHA

Smashing opener into the roof of the net by Enda Stevens to give the Blades the lead (26’). The visitors instantly replied, United unable to deal with a free kick, Neal Maupay headed it home to level the score 3:09 minutes after the opener (30’). The VAR checked a coming together between John Lundstram and Lewis Dunk (85’): No red card was given for the Blades midfielder. Of course. They are asking for broken legs before they take action. FFS. Four years ago this month Sheffield United lost to Wigan, Bury and Rochdale in a League One north-west nightmare as Chris Wilder was on his way to winning League Two with Northampton. Now, this draw keeps them in sixth, level on points with Spurs in fifth, definitely in contention for a European qualifying spot. Mad.

#SOUAVL

The Saints controlled the match, Shane Long kneed them ahead early on (9’), poor from the Villans. Stuart Armstrong doubled the home side’s lead in the final seconds, easy one on an empty goal (90+5’). The Villa boss Dean Smith didn’t hold back in his disappointment and understandably so, saying some of his players had “played their way out” of next Sunday’s Carabao Cup final. The result keeps the sides in 12th and 17th respectively, the winners level on points with Arsenal in 11th, the losers just one point away from the drop zone. 

#LEIMCI

Gabriel Jesus made the difference, coming off the bench to score the winner at the King Power Stadium (80'). Both sides wasted a lot of chances, Jamie Vardy hitting the woodwork in the first half, the Foxes should have been on top at the break. Kasper Schmeichel was kept the busier after the restart, denying Sergio Agüero from the spot, continuing the Blues' penalty woes. It was the stopper's fourth Premier League penalty save - one more than his father Peter made in his entire PL career. Not bad. But it all counted for nothing in the end, the super-sub making the difference for Pep Guardiola and his men, cutting the gap to the top to 19 points. Brendan Rodgers was left bitterly disappointed meanwhile, and rightly so, the VAR missing out a few calls for penalties and harder cautions, missing or just ignoring replays of handballs and fouls. Pf. The Foxes stay third, six points ahead of Chelsea in fourth, seven points behind the Citizens.

#MUNWAT

Bruno Fernandes was brought down by Ben Foster in the box, clear penalty, and the fouled was the taker, converting from the spot to score his first goal for the club, giving the Red Devils the lead at the end of a less threatening and more frustrating half (42’). That goal ended a wait of 235 minutes for a Premier League goal by Manchester United at Old Trafford. Mason Greenwood got the last one, in a 4-0 win against Norwich on 11 January (PL Week 22). Watford’s ping-pong equaliser off a corner was disallowed and correctly so by the VAR as it came off Craig Dawson’s arm before bouncing off the woodwork for Troy Deeney to net the rebound (52’). It would have been a deserved leveller, but it was not to be. And shortly after that Anthony Martial doubled the hosts’ lead with a lovely looping finish over and in after Foster saved his first attempt (58’). Martial has scored in three successive games now. The Frechman has not done that since September 2017. A lovely run, take and finish by Greenwood made it three (75’). The win took United up to fifth, just three points separating them from Chelsea in fourth, whilst the Hornets remain 19th, one point from safety. 

#WOLNOR

Norwich played well, dominated the game early, just to fall behind. That summarises their season. A lovely flowing Wolves counter attack ended with Matt Doherty collecting the ball in the D, spinning and finding Diogo Jota running on, who nutmegged Tim Krul to break the deadlock (19’). And the Portuguese forward tapped in Romain Saïss’ cross to double the hosts’ lead (30’). Raúl Jiménez made it three after the restart banging in the rebound off Jota’s shot that came off the post (50’). The comfortable victory takes the Wanderers up to eighth, just two points behind the Red Devils in fifth, whilst the Canaries are stuck rock-bottom, seven points from safety.

#ARSEVE

23 games without defeat for the Gunners against the Toffees, but it didn't come easy: Dominic Calvert-Lewin broke the deadlock after 49 seconds, overhead-kicking the ball in after Arsenal were unable to deal with Gylfi Sigurðsson’s free kick, David Luiz seeing the ball come off his back, the defence all over the place. Bukayo Saka produced the perfect cross from the left, Eddie Nketiah netted it with a fine leap and right-footed connection to level the score from the centre of the box, a lovely recovery after a poor start for the hosts (27’). Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang broke clear and poked Luiz’s lovely through-ball across and in to turn the score around (33’). Richarlison beat the keeper to Mina’s flick-on, or did Bernd Leno touch it into his own net?! It was an equaliser just before the break either way (45+4’), a messy one to end a crazy half. And 25 seconds after the restart, Aubameyang headed the Gunners ahead, Carlo Ancelotti looked absolutely gob-smacked, his HT-team-talk out of the window. This was the third game in Premier League history to see a goal scored inside the opening minute of both halves, after Newcastle v Arsenal in January 1996 and Charlton v Leeds in March 2001. Leno made a couple of good stops denying DCL. Nketiah hit the woodwork late on in a tense ending, which saw DCL head a chance wide as well. Mikel Arteta's men ended up banking the three points, to the Spaniard's relief, taking his side up to ninth, four points away from the fifth spot. 

#LIVWHU

Liverpool equalled Manchester City's all-time English top-flight record of 18 league wins in a row with their 21st successive league victory at Anfield, which also equalled their own English top-flight record for consecutive home wins, set between January and December 1972. The Reds are unbeaten in eight league matches against West Ham (W6, D2), scoring four goals in four of those eight matches. The Hammers have won only three of their 58 top-flight away matches against the Merseysiders (D15, L40). Georginio Wijnaldum's header put the league leaders ahead (9’), before Issa Diop levelled the score with a nod in of his own soon after (12’). 174 seconds between the two goals. All Reds were just watching in the box when Pablo Fornals banged the Hammers ahead (54’). Mo Salah beat Łukasz Fabiański unmarked in the box, putting the ball through the keeper’s legs for the second equaliser (68’). And Sadio Mané poked the third into an empty net from close range after the visitors were just unable to clear or do anything with the ball, a bit all over the place (81’). That was the turnaround completed by Jürgen Klopp's men and their record(s) kept in tact, as mentioned above. Top. David Moyes' side have won only three of their last 21 Premier League fixtures - as many as in their opening six games. They have lost 22 points from a winning position this season. Their last league win was on New Year's Day. Flop.

Premier League Notes - Week 26

Sports - Football - Premier League - Week 26

The 26th week of the 2019-2020 Premier League Football season saw: A winter break! So, the fixtures were split over two weekends-and-a-bit:

26 goals - most by Arsenal = 4

245 shots - most by Tottenham = 23

77 on target - most by Tottenham = 10

104 corners - most by Aston Villa = 12

199 fouls - most by Arsenal = 15

32 bookings - most by Chelsea = 4

1 red card - Choudhury for Leicester 

1 penalty - 0 scored 

#EVECRY

Too easy for the Toffees: A fine cross from Theo Walcott on the right, found Bernard totally unmarked in the box, first touch, side-footer, curled into the top corner, excellent finish, keeper no chance, 1-0 (18’). No clean sheet in 10 for the Eagles, the longest run in the PL. Christian Benteke, set up by nice and quick and slick Wilfried Zaha, slid the equaliser under Jordan Pickford (51’), the stopper will not like those replays and looked apologetic afterwards. Cringe. It’s only the Belgian’s second goal since the start of last season. But that high didn’t last long, counter run and hit, ruthless Richarlison to the edge of the box, found the bottom right corner, to make it 2-1 (59’). And Dominic Calvert-Lewin made it three goals and three points for the home side, tapping in the rebound after Richarlison’s header came off the crossbar (88’). Roy Hodgson’s men had chances to spoil the show, Benteke could have had a hat-trick, but the woodwork and the general lack of form didn’t help. Carlo Ancelotti and Goodison Park ended up very happy, the win taking them up to 7th on the day.

#BHAWAT

Lovely finish by Abdoulaye Doucouré, body and feet, perfect movement, to put the ball in past four defenders and the keeper to give the visitors the lead (19’). I could watch that move in slower motion again and again. Exemplary. The equaliser hurt to watch, Adrian Mariappa, under no real threat, put a cross from the right by Alireza Jahanbakhsh into the back of his own net (78’). Nightmare of every defender. Watford have scored six Premier League own goals since the start of 2018-19, more than any other side in the competition. Crueler than cruel. The point sees the sides remain in 15th and 19th respectively.

#SHUBOU

A beautiful team move was finished off by Callum Wilson, making no mistake of netting the rebound off Harry Wilson’s blocked smash-hit, to give the visitors a deserved lead (13’) after a strong start. The home side took a while to get into the game, but ended the first half on top, chance after chance, ping pong, Billy Sharp finally converting, tapping in the equaliser just before the break (45+1’). And sub John Lundstram snatched the lead, with a fine move and low finish into the corner of the net (83’). The winners end just two points away from the CL places, whilst the losers are just two points clear of the drop zone. Contrast. 

#MCIWHU

Match postponed because of storm Ciara. Rearranged for February 19, see below.

#WOLLEI

Home side took the lead just before the break thanks to Willy Boly's header, or so they thought, it was disallowed by VAR, for offside in the buildup. Where?! What?! How?! Who?! Why?! Not clear at all! Lots of boos and chants and understandably so, it would have been fully deserved. Wolves felt robbed, it's their fourth goal to be disallowed by the VAR this season, only Sheffield United have had more (5). But the Foxes worked hard and defended well, definitely ended up the happier of the two with the clean sheet and the point, especially after being down to ten men for the last 15 minutes thanks to Hamza Choudhury's two stupid yellows.

#SOUBUR

Ashley Westwood's bizarre corner-goal after just 93 seconds is the earliest away goal Burnley have ever scored in the Premier League. He was helped by the wind and Danny Ings not dealing with the ball but letting it turn into the goal instead (2’). But the former Liverpool man made up for his earlier screw-up and levelled the score at St Mary’s, with a low shot from the edge of the box into the bottom right corner (18’). Lovely turn, control and then a cracking smacker into the back of the net by sub Matěj Vydra, who came on after 22 minutes for an injured Chris Wood, to make it 1-2 and ending his 18-month goal-drought (61’). It was enough to bag Sean Dyche’s men the three points, frustrating for the Saints, boos rang around St Mary’s at the FT whistle and understandably so.

#NORLIV

Norwich worked hard, but Jürgen Klopp’s men found the breakthrough eventually. A brilliant turn and shot in the box by sub Sadio Mané (78’) was enough for the league leaders to continue their enormous run. Liverpool have gone 43 top-flight matches unbeaten, just six matches behind Arsenal's invincible record of 49 games (2003-04). They have earned 103 points from the last 105 available to them in the Premier League, winning 34 of their last 35 matches. Their 76 points from 26 matches this season is a top-flight record. And they stay at the top, 25 points clear of the Citizens, who have a game in hand (see above and below for details).

#AVITOT

Villa lost at home to Spurs, 3-2, despite scoring first. Son Heung-min scored injury-time goals in each half (45+2', 90+4'), taking Spurs up to fifth what might be but probably won't be a Champions League place after Man City's ban, which they will definitely fight against. The Villans stay a point and place above the drop zone. It was an intense game, both keepers were kept busy, Pepe Reina starring, including a penalty save against Son, but the rebound went in just before the break, and all in all, the defenders were struggling. In the end, Björn Engels gave it away in stoppage time, letting Son through to net the winner, the club's latest PL winner since 2009. Dean Smith wasn't happy with the VAR, but the Villa boss cannot ignore his side's leaks and weaknesses at the back. 

#ARSNEW

After a frustrating first half, both sides missing chances, the Gunners bossed the game. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pépé scored in quick succession (54', 57' respectively), before Mesut Özil and Alexandre Lacazette got in on the fun late on (90', 90+5' respectively). The result doesn't affect the table too much, Newcastle slip to 13th due to goal difference, seven points above the drop zone, Arsenal into the top half, seven points off fourth.

#CHEMUN

A lot of questionable decisions once again in this match! How was Harry Maguire’s kick out not a red card? And Willian was booked for diving when there was contact, outside the box, so, no pen, but should have been a free kick. Anthony Martial gave the visitors the lead against the run of play, the Blues made to pay for all their misses, just before the break (45’). Play had resumed after Andreas Christensen got his nose busted, great outswinger of a cross from Aaron Wan-Bissaka, brilliant header down into the bottom corner from Martial to put the Red Devils ahead. Then to spread the VAR love even more, Kurt Zouma’s equaliser was disallowed for a push (57’), and they call themselves men! And to add salt onto the wound, Maguire doubled the Red visitors’ lead (66’). Sub Olivier Giroud thought he had pulled one back, but the VAR chalked it off for offside, the good old toe (78’). Two injuries, topped by two disallowed goals. What a mess. The Blues robbed, just one point separating them from Spurs in 5th; Ole Ole Ole's side's up to 7th, just three points away from the top four.

#MCIWHU

So, the match eventually took place on Wednesday, in a half-empty Etihad, with zero atmosphere, even the French commentators were taking the mick. City bossed it, making the Hammers work hard, giving their all. Rodri broke the deadlock after half an hour. 15-1 shots, 5-0 on target in the first half alone. Pf. That dominance continued after the break, Kevin De Bruyne bashing in the second goal for the home side (62’). It stayed just 2-0, even though it could have been 12-0. No competition. David Moyes has to be very worried, his side stuck in 18th, one point from safety, and facing the league leaders next, at Anfield.

My Predictions - Actual Results 

Everton 1:1 Crystal Palace - 3:1

Brighton 1:2 Watford - 1:1

Sheff United 1:0 Bournemouth - 2:1

Man City 2:1 West Ham - P:P

Wolves 1:2 Leicester - 0:0

Southampton 1:2 Burnley - 1:2

Norwich 0:3 Liverpool - 0:1

Aston Villa 1:2 Tottenham - 2:3

Arsenal 2:1 Newcastle - 4:0

Premier League Notes - Week 25

Sports - Football - Premier League - Week 25

The 25th week of the 2019-2020 Premier League Football season saw:

23 goals - most by Liverpool = 4

277 shots - most by Norwich and Brighton = 19 each

85 on target - most by Liverpool = 9

118 corners - most by Norwich = 12

248 fouls - most by Watford = 17

38 bookings - most by Aston Villa, Man United, Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Man City = 3 each

3 red cards - Lerma for Bournemouth, Delph for Everton, Zinchenko for Man City

1 penalty - 0 scored

#LEICHE

The game at the King Power Stadium didn't get going until after the break, when all the missed chances in the first half, were finally turned in. Defender Antonio Rüdiger headed the visitors in front off a corner seconds after the restart (46'). Harvey Barnes levelled the score minutes later, thanks to a deflection off Reece James (54'). And it looked like Brendan Rodgers would get his first win over the Blues in their 14th meeting, after Ben Chilwell put the Foxes ahead with a nice finish into the bottom left corner (64'). But Rüdiger spoilt that party with another header (71'), grabbing Frank Lampard's men a point, keeping the gap between both sides at eight points, in third and fourth respectively.

#BOUAVL

The Cherries were down to ten men for most of the second half after Jefferson Lerma's second yellow card (51'), but hung on to a crucial win against the Villans. The hosts lead comfortably thanks to Philip Billing (37') and Nathan Aké (44'), but the visitors did pull one back for a nervous ending, £8.5m signing Mbwana Samatta on his debut becoming the first Tanzanian player to score in the PL (70'). Eddie Howe's men held on to record their first back-to-back wins since September, taking them up to 16th, one point and place above Dean Smith's side, who are just one point away from the drop zone.

#CRYSHU

Roy Hodgson’s men suffered another disappointing defeat, a Vicente Guaita own goal (58’) giving United the win. It was an absolute howler, nobody at Selhurst Park will want to see again, the keeper dropping Oliver Norwood's corner over the line, gifting the Blades the three points after they hadn't created much until then. The hosts had dominated, but didn't create much either. The result saw the Eagles drop down to 13th, whilst Chris Wilder's side climbed up to 5th, one point ahead of Manchester United (before Sunday's games).

#LIVSOU

The Reds didn’t get started till the second half, and then crushed the Saints at Anfield. The visitors saw all their hard work undone thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's counter goal (47'), skipper Jordan Henderson's composed finish (60') and Mo Salah's brace (71', 90'); all helped by hat-trick provider Roberto Firmino. It was a harsh result for Ralph Hasenhüttl's men, who never stopped pushing, former Red Danny Ings causing most of the home side's headache, including a penalty shout just before the Ox's goal. But as against every side this season, Jürgen Klopp's side were ruthless and just went on to win, again, to go 22 points clear at the top, after also winning their game in hand on Wednesday. TWENTY TWO POINTS! Simply the best. 

#NEWNOR

No goals and a point each at St James' Park. The Canaries will be the more frustrated not to have taken more out of this tight tie, seeing more of the ball and more chances, the Magpies lacking quality, looking a bit all over the place, but still grabbing the point and completing their fourth league game unbeaten. The draw leaves Daniel Farke's bottom side seven points away from safety, whilst Steve Bruce's men were booed off the pitch, despite the point taking them up to 10th (before Arsenal's game on Sunday).

#WATEVE

From two goals and a man down after Fabian Delph's dismissal (71'), the Toffees came back, thanks to two goals by Yerry Mina within a couple of minutes injury time just before the break (45+1', 45+4'), and a last-minute winner by former Gunner Theo Walcott (90'). It was cruel on the Hornets, instead of three points lifting them out of the drop zone, they left Vicarage Road with nothing, staying in 19th on 23 points, two points away from safety. Nigel Pearson was understandably gutted, whilst Carlo Ancelotti finally saw his side on the right side of a turnaround and lifted up to 9th. The Italian summarised it well: "This is football, it's unpredictable."

#WHUBHA

This was a thriller which the Hammers led in most of the time, 2-0 and 3-1, but an Angelo Ogbonna's own goal (47'), Pascal Groß (75') and Glenn Murray (79') spoilt the show at the London Stadium with a prod in and late dramatic leveller, the VAR took his time to confirm as replays showed the ball came off the player's side of the chest, not his arm. Hammers boss David Moyes was understandably angry, more with the way his side let their lead slip and fall away, rather than the officials' conduct, the result seeing his side drop into the relegation zone. Graham Potter on the other hand was very proud of his hard-fighting Seagulls, the point keeping them in 15th, ahead of Bournemouth in 16th just on goal difference, two points ahead of their opposition in 18th.

#MUNWOL

It was nothing too exciting at Old Trafford. Both sides with chances, wasted, but the lack of quality in the final third and crowded boxes meant the two sides separated goalless and a point each. Wolves manager Nuno Espírito Santo was happy with the result which his side worked hard for, whilst I'm not sure what Ole Gunnar Solskjær was taking or watching when the United boss said he thought "someone moved the goal posts". Maybe he was trying to be funny about his side’s lack of finishing, new £47m signing Bruno Fernandes creating most, but just not good enough, the sides finishing sixth and seventh respectively.

#BURARS

Similar to Old Trafford, Turf Moor didn’t see too much quality either. Both sides tried, but wasted most, the result reflects that and is fair. The Clarets worked hard and didn’t deserve to lose, whilst the Gunners kept shooting blanks and didn’t deserve to win. The point saw both sides climb up to 11th and 10th respectively, goal difference separating them from each other and Newcastle and Southampton under them. Tighter than tight in the middle of the table.

#TOTMCI

Total VAR, refereeing and general madness! Raheem Sterling was a very lucky man not to be sent off, first for his late challenge on Dele Alli (13’), and then for his dive after Hugo Lloris saved İlkay Gündoğan’s spot kick (40’). The penalty farce was just ridiculous, the VAR first taking ages to make the call and then not coming to the right decision, missing and messing up all calls on the red and yellow card(s) and the keeper being off his line for the penalty, etc., referee Mike Dean the main star/clown of the mad circus show. It was an absolute shocker of a corner that led to the sending off. And I don’t know what Oleksandr Zinchenko’s arguing, it was an obvious push, second yellow and off (60’). After all that fiasco, it ended up being a dream debut for Steven Berwijn. The Dutch winger chested and smashed in the opener from the edge of the box (63’), Spurs’ first shot of the game. And it was too easy for Son Heung-min, with a big gap in defense, his shot deflected in to double the hosts’ lead (71’). Horrendous defending! Manchester City have failed to score in successive games for the first time under Pep Guardiola, keeping them in second, 22 points behind Liverpool, two ahead of Leicester. Spurs boss José Mourinho was just smiling (sarcastically I'm sure, not happy with the officials' performance), his side climbing up to fifth with the win. 

My Predictions - Actual Results 

Leicester 2:2 Chelsea - 2:2

Bournemouth 3:3 Aston Villa - 2:1

Crystal Palace 1:1 Sheffield United - 0:1

Liverpool 2:0 Southampton - 4:0

Newcastle 2:1 Norwich - 0:0

Watford 2:1 Everton - 2:3

West Ham 2:1 Brighton - 3:3

Man United 1:1 Wolves - 0:0

Burnley 1:1 Arsenal - 0:0

Tottenham 0:1 Man City - 2:0
