As reported by the Mirror and The Guardian, it’s now understood that Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of the passengers on board a helicopter that crashed outside King Power Stadium on Saturday following Leicester’s 1-1 draw with West Ham United.
If you’re familiar with Western mythology, you’ve probably heard of the story of Moses parting the seas while escaping Egypt. This Roberto Pereyra goal vs Huddersfield Town on Saturday had a similar feel, with the defense of the Terriers refusing to step into the path of the Watford winger to score the opening goal of a 3-0 rout.
Watch as Pereyra weaves his way through the entirety of the Huddersfield defense, which falls over itself trying to get out of his way — typically the opposite approach defenders should take, but who are we to judge.
Christian Pulisic started on the right wing and put in a strong performance in Borussia Dortmund’s impressive 4-0 rout of Atlético Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. On Saturday, he started on the bench and watched as two more Jadon Sancho goals were scored by the right winger, putting added pressure on the young American, who could see his playing time increasingly limited.
Recently, we’ve highlighted the stellar play of young Englishmen in the Bundesliga, with Jadon Sancho tearing it up at Borussia Dortmund and Reiss Nelson scoring like crazy for Hoffenheim. Perhaps even more surprising: A young Englishman is excelling at Chelsea, as evidenced by the Ruben Loftus-Cheek hat trick on Thursday.
Did you watch the goal above? He does that more often than most, doesn’t he? With his languid, cerebral, hyper technical, pass-first-shoot-later style, Mesut Ozil scores sublime goals that ooze sensibility and ease but register a 10/10 on the difficulty scale.
As a Newcastle fan, I can instantly remember the times he’s done as much to the Premier League’s current cellar dwellers. Last December, he looped an audacious effort into the roof of the net when the danger seemed to be cleared.
