After an exhilarating 2-2 draw a week ago against rivals Merseyside at Liverpool, Everton had a tough outing against Southampton on Sunday Having had some good chances early on, James Ward -Prowse of Southampton scored a goal during a fine bonding game with Danny Ings in the 27th minute to get the boys from St Mary’s going
From there the game was all Southampton Striker Che Adams added a second in the 35th minute and Everton were sunk Everton’s team looked defeated and allowed Southampton to lead the game To make matters worse, in the 72nd minute Everton’s full-back Lucas Digne was sent off for a brutal challenge against Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters With only 10 men on the pitch, the game might as well have been shot on the spot
Southampton left the game with a 2-0 victory and showed the rest of the Premier League that they can play with anyone They dominated the game and deserved all three points For Everton it is back to the drawing board as they look to refocus for their match against Newcastle in Matchweek Seven
With the way Leeds have started this Premier League season, no result they take away should come as a surprise But this 3-0 victory over Aston Villa’s soaring climb was absolutely shocking Villa, unbeaten in the league and winning wins over Leicester and Liverpool, looked like a legitimate top-four contender to enter the game Meanwhile, Leeds were emerging from a tough 1-0 loss to a struggling Wolves side Surely Villa was the favorite
But when the whistle blew to start the match it all faded away The best in West Yorkshire once again did their job and looked awesome to do it They were about to score several times at the start of the match, just like Villa Jack Grealish’s mastermind on the other side of the pitch Grealish was sidelined thanks to a clearance from the goal line and some brilliant saves from young Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier
The match went scoreless, with Leeds getting the better of the odds until Patrick Bamford decided Friday was his time to burst onto the scene In the 55th minute he scored the first of what would end up being a world-class hat-trick Often labeled as a poacher and a striker who can only score with his header, Bamford’s next two goals were knocked down so exquisite and precise with its left boot to silence all the critics Leeds continued to dominate and left the game with a dominant performance and a place in the top four of the Premier League table
Villa will be disappointed, but they must be ecstatic enough to end up third in the table after a month of league football There is no way they will, after fighting for their lives in the Premier League at the end of last season, were able to predict such a strong start to their 2020-2021 campaign
3 Chelsea and Man United drew in a game we all wish we didn’t watch
For such a great historic rivalry this Manchester United v Chelsea match was to be forgotten.Perhaps we were spoiled with the Red Devil squads led by Wayne Rooney versus the Chelsea squads led by Didier Drogba, but this game just didn’t live up to the hype
Aside from the occasional brilliant pass from United creative midfielder Bruno Fernandes or the rare chance from striker Marcus Rashford, the game was bland and uneventful. To be fair, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put together a bit of a confusing lineup It included midfielder Fred, who hasn’t seen the pitch in quite some time, as well as Juan Mata, who hardly ever starts for United again. United may have further fueled the buzz of their massive midweek Champions League win over Paris Saint Germain
But Lampard’s side at Chelsea have no excuse Lampard formed a squad, made up of Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz and others, who should have created plenty of chances The Blues didn’t get only one shot on target and rarely looked dangerous in the game One advantage for them was that new goaltender Edouard Mendy put absolute clinic in the net His acrobatic save of a Rashford curling effort in the Extra time saved the point and the draw for Chelsea He was the man of the match and the shining star on an otherwise cloudy night in Manchester
