Hi and good day palz!
So, most of us soccer lovers out here are feeling weird. Something crazy happened in the last Barclay's Premiere League.
Very few of us enjoyed it to the fullest and you have to be a Citizens, Liverpool or Spurs fan to be in that category. Why won't they feel trilled? Their teams were able to deliver on a cold night when some of their rivals fell short. Some mid table teams were able to treat their fans to a magnificent night though, that includes Bournemouth and Everton who had big wins. Relegation threatened Swans gunned down the Gunners brilliantly.
It all started 30th, somewhere South of Wales. I wasn't expecting my dear Arsenal(lol, yeah, am a big fan of Arsenal FC) to be smashed by the Swans before KO. I received so many banters from friends and colleagues, that after getting home from the pub, I went straight to bed. I had so many messages but ignored them. Though, us signing Aubameyang cleared the dark clouds.
That same night, Liverpool made light work of Huddersfield and won 0-3... Then Crystal Palace continued their hunt for another BPL season by grabbing a 0-1 win away at West Ham.
The following night, you'd expect nothing much other than an entertaining clash between Spurs and United, and Sanchez making his league debut, had so many eyes in that game. But to our amusement it was Spurs who stole the show, by scoring their first of the night just eleven seconds into the game. There was nothing Jose's parked bus could do π (feels good to type that). Anyway, Sanchez didn't live up to the bill, and Jones soon, somehow, sent the ball into the wrong net.. It ended 2-0 at Wembley.
On that same night, it went down at the Etihads, with City getting a routine win over West Bromwich. Everton won at home 2-1 against Leicester City, with Theo Walcott scoring both goals and Vardy getting a late goal to toughen the closing phases, but Everton held on. The spoils were shared between Newcastle and Burnley, Stoke and Watford, Southampton and Brighton.
Finally, something very few anticipated happened. Chelsea were blown away at the Bridge and you have got to give it to Bournemouth, for doing such in the home of the defending champions. Not only were Chelsea unable to score but they conceded three goals against a team who's attack has been questioned this season(they did beat my Arsenal though π). Thumbs up to Bournemouth. ππ½
I'd say it was a bittersweet game week for most fans. Though, fans of Manchester City, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton were treated to an early new month gift.
More dramas will unfold for the coming game week, which is scheduled for the weekend. I can't wait to see what happens and I bet y'all soccer fans feel the same.
Till next time pals, Kun Benjamin wishes you a happy new month and a fruitful February. π€
