EVERTON 0 - 0 BOURNEMOUTH

EVERTON (TR3; DEF 3) vs BOURNEMOUTH (TR2; DEF 2)

Everton, on paper, looked to be the favorite, but, as it turned out, Bournemouth played an equally competitive game. The result ended with no goals scored ofr either team. Bournemouth won more than their fair share of Loose Balls and Headers which enabled them to remain competitive. Bournemout actually had two more shots than Everton and had three SOG to Everton’s two, but, both Goalies were equal to the task.

Everton now sits at 2-2-2 while Bournemouth is 1-2-3

MANCHESTER CITY (TR 5; DEF 4) vs CRYSTAL PALACE (TR2; DEF 3)

With Red and Yellow Flags flying Crystal Palace cut the lead to 2-1 when Patrick Van Aanholt scored at the 62’ minute mark, but, they would get no closer.

MANCHESTER CITY (TR 5; DEF 4) vs CRYSTAL PALACE (TR2; DEF 3)

Southampton started the day with 11 Points, (3-2-0). If they could get a win they would sit in a tie atop the Table with Manchester City. It seem for a good while they would, if fact, get a win. James Ward-Prowse scored his first goal of the season. It came at the 16’ with an assist by Soufaine Boufal. They kept strong pressure on Man U, who had trouble controlling the play. Man U was continually beaten on Loose Balls amd Defense by a swarming Southampton - until the 71’ mark.

At the 71 Minute mark everything changed. Alexis Sanchez was awarded a Penalty Kick, and he made good on the shot as he easily beat Fraser Forester. Manchester U had awoken from it’s lethargy and at the 75’ markChris Smalling buried a goal to make it 2-1, Manchester United. That proved to be the final score.

Manchester U started the season 0-2, but, they are now 3-1-2, good for 10 Poains and 4th place in Tables. Southampton, (3-2-1), suffers their first defeat of the season. 32,505 dejected fans left St. Mary’s Stadium, quietly.

TOTTENHAME WINS THRILLER, 1-0! KANE SCORED FIRST GOAL OF SEASON

Tottenham, (3-2-2) picked up three points, (giving them 11 on the season), with an exciting 1-Nil win over a stubborn Huddersfield, (1-1-5) team. Harry Kane, heretofore without a goal for the season, scored just as extra time expired n the First Half with an assist from Defenseman, Eric Dier. Dier also had the defensive play of the game. In the 86th minute Huddersfield Midfielder, Aaron Mooy, fotted a 'slow" ball to the far corner of the net. Dier, (off the Special Play Chart), being a Defenseman, made a deparate slide and cleared the ball which was headed for a sure goal.

W BROMWICH (TR 2; DEF 2) vs WATFORD (TR 2; DEF 2)

26,688 fans of W Bromwich at the Hawthornes were wondering how their heros would respond after their devastating 5-Nil loss to Arsenal last week. They certainly played better this week as they tied Watford, 1-1. Jose Rodon put the hometown on top, 1 - Nil, with a goal at 16’ with an assist from Chris Brunt. It was Rodon’s 3rd goal of the season. It was Brunt’s first ssist of the season.

The score remained 1-nil, W Bromwich until the 70’ mark when Abdoulaye Doucoure found the net for Watfor to tie the match at 1-1. It was his first goal of the season. He was assisted by Roberto Pereyra. He now has two assists on the season.

After West Bromwich’s bad lass to Arsenal last week Glyn Myhill got the start in goal. He turned back foru of the shots on goal directed at him.

Richarlison, Watford’s premier player, was shaken up in the 79’ and left the pitch. He is expected to be ready for Watfor’s next match.

The match was mostly a defensive battle that ended in a scoreless draw. The game had some exciting moments. Southampton had six Corner Kicks but failed to capitalize on any of them. Stoke City only manged three shots with one on target but Southampton Goalie, Fraser Forster made the save.

Southampton had eight shots but none were on target. In the 84’ Stoke City defender, Ryan Shawcross, was Red Carded and sent off, but, Southampton could not convert this to a goal despite the extra man advantage.

Stoke City remains one of two winless teams this season; the other is Leicester City, who travel to Bournemouth to recitify their winless situation…

Poor Leicester cannot catch a break. Today against Bournemouth, they played one of their best matches of the season, but an “Own Goal” by Riyad Mahrez at 22’ may have cost them their first win of the season. They did manage to rally in the 86’ whenShinji Okazaki scored a goal, with an assist from Kelechi Iheanacho, to tie the game at 1-1.

Bournemouth’s Midfielder, Ryan Fraser, was injured at the 90’ mark and left the game. It was announced he would not be available fr next week’s match.

CHELSEA (TR 3; DEF 3) vs MANCHESTER CITY (TR 5; DEF 4)

Despite the fact that Manchester City sat second in the Table with 14 points versus firstplace Chelsea’s 15 Points, Man C were the favorites, even at the enemies venue, Stamford Bridge. The odds makers were wron as Chelsea eeked out a 1-nil win to move to 18 points as their record improved to 6-0-1. Manchester C at 4-2-1 suffered their first defeat of the season.

It was a lively match with Man C slightly outplaying Chelsea everywhere but the scoreboard. Alvaro Morata scored in the 47’, his 2nd goal of the season. He was assisted by Cesar Azpilicueta, who recorded his 2nd assist of the season.

Manchester City blew a golden opportunity in the 86’ when David Silva was fouled in the crease by Chelsea Midfielder, Eden Hazard. He missed the Penalty Kick and the opportunity to at least tie the match was lost.
