8/13/17NEWCASTLE UNITED 1 - 2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
NEWCASTLE (TR 3; DEF 4) vs TOTTENHAM (TR 3; DEF 3)
Tottenham put a damper on Newcastle home opener in front of 52,354 fans at St. James Stadium. The first half was spirited but neither team scored and they went to the locker locked in a scoreless match.
The second half saw all the scoring. Eric Dier took a rebound and legged a shot into the crossbar, (Special Action Chart), that bounced into the net for a 1-ni Tottenham lead at the 67’ mark. That seemed to spart Tottenhame. AT the 73’ mark Son Heung-Min took a pass from Christian Eriksen and beat Newcastle Goalie, Bob Elliot for a 2-nil Tottenhame lead.
Newcastle kept up the good fight and it paid off when Christian Atsu beat Hugo Lloris in the 87’ to cut the Tottenhame lead to 2-1. Ayoze is credited with the assist.
There was glimmer of hope for the hometown fans, but, the hope and the game faded with a Tottenham 2-1 win.

MANCHESTER UNITED (TR 5; DEF 5) vs WEST HAM (TR 2; DEF 1)
It was David vs Goliath and, like the Biblical outcome, David won. West Ham defeated Manchester United in front of 77,994 Manchester U fans. There was stunned silence after match.
Marko Arnautovic scored the first goal for West Ham after a stolen ball and a breakaway in the 8’. The crowd was silenced, but, given the time remaining Man U fans were confident of a comeback against the interlopers.
The fans were stunned once again in the 22’ mark when Michail Antonio beat David de Gea for a second West Ham goal. Still, with more than a half remaining Man U and their fans felt they could engineer a comeback; the comeback never happene and West Ham wins, 2 - Nil.

SWANSEA (TR 2; DEF 3) vs MANCHESTER UNITED (TR 3; DEF 3)
Last weeks humiliating defeat of Manchester United by West Ham was surpassed this week when Swansea accumulated their first points of the season with a 3-Nil whitewashing of Man U. Manchester United has yet to score a goal this season.
Jordan Ayew scored all three goals for Swansea. His first came at 11’ with an assist fromTom Carroll. At the 66’ mark it was Ayew again, this time beating David de Gea with an assist fromKi Sung-Yeung. Ayeu’s ;ast goal came as time expired ad 90+2, again with an assist from Carroll.
Rumor has it there could be a change at goal for Man U, or a change in tactics, or both, but, either way, it is obvious Manchester United needs to turn things around quickly.
On the flip side Lukasz Fabianski, Swansea Goalie, stopped all five shots fired by Manchester United.

LEICESTER (TR 3; DEF 3) vs BRIGHTON (TR 1; DEF 2)
Leicester should be embarrased. In the 36’ Brighton Midfielder, Solly March, was Red Carded. In the 57’ Brighton Jose Izquierdo was also Red Carded, so, for much of the game Leicester had a two man advantage. And with that advantage, Leicester failed to score.
In part Leicester failed to score because of the tremendous Goaleeping of Brighton’s Matt Gray. Leicester had five Shots On Goal and Gray stopped all of them and caught and held-on to three of them.
So each team picked up their first Point of the season but Leicester missed out on almost certain three points.

WEST HAM (TR 3; DEF 3) vs SOUTHAMPTON (TR 2; DEF 2)
Both teams started the season with wins in Week One, but, at the end of this match it was Southampton who now has Six Points after today’s 3-1 win against West Ham. West Ham had an uphill struggle when they lost two starters to injuries. A big loss was Manuel Lanzini; the Midfielder went down at 8’. Twenty-six minutes later, at the 34’ mark, Midfielder Mark Noble left the pitch with an injury. Still West Ham took a 1-nil lead in the 25’ makr on a goal by Marko Arnautovic.
It did not take long for Southampton to respond. At 27’ Soufiane Boufal scored to tie the game at 1-1. And that’s the way the score remained as the first half ended.
It became apparent that the loss of two starters, particularly Lanzini started to take it’s toll in the 2nd half. Dusan Tadic beat Adrian in the net at the 46’ mark with an assist from Shne Long to up the score to 3-1; that proved to be the final.
Southampton is bow 2-0-0 with six points.
The injuries to Lanzini and Noble do appear to be serious enough where they will have to miss any games.
