With Manchester City reaffirming its Premier League dominance after a "down year" (if 81 points and a +67 GD can be considered a down year), it appears that Pep Guardiola is on his way to a fourth EPL crown. The big question is: How soon can Man City win the league?
LONDON - Late goals by Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood sealed Manchester United a 3-1 comeback win against Tottenham Hotspur, cementing their place in the Premier League top-four and leaving the London club's hopes of joining them looking slim on Sunday.
Cavani had a goal controversially ruled out in an otherwise dull first half shortly before Son Heung-min gave Tottenham a 40th-minute lead with their first shot on target.
SON!
¿Recuerdan al Jesse Lingard del Manchester United? Bueno, ese hombre no existe más. Ahora pueden llamarlo Lingardinho o Lingardowski.
Después de dos años de terror en Old Trafford, en los que registró apenas un gol y cero asistencias en Premier League, hoy el mediocampista renace en el West Ham. No más memes, no más chistes. Lingard suma ocho goles en nueve partidos por los Hammers, transformándose en una de las armas ofensivas más letales de la división. De hecho, si solo contáramos 2021 sería el actual campeón de goleo del torneo.
BURNLEY - Frenchman Allan Saint-Maximin came off the bench to turn the game around for lowly Newcastle United as they came from behind to earn a vital 2-1 Premier League win at Burnley on Sunday.
Burnley had led through an 18th-minute goal from Czech striker Matěj Vydra and were well on top before substitute Saint-Maximin changed the game inside seven minutes with an assist and a goal.
El bielsismo está de fiesta. El Leeds United de Marcelo Bielsa consiguió hoy un bombástico triunfo sobre el casi campeón de la Premier League, el Manchester City de Pep Guardiola. La victoria además fue a domicilio, jugando con 10 hombres y con un gol de último minuto. Por si fuera poco, también aseguró la permanencia de The Whites en la división.
Ni hablar de esta fantástica sonrisa post-partido.
Thomas Tuchel is finally giving Christian Pulisic some playing time and the American is responding. Pulisic scored twice in a rampaging 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, his second straight Premier League appearance with at least one goal.
MADRID — A streaker who ran onto the pitch during Granada's home clash with Manchester United showed true commitment to the cause, sneaking into the stadium 14 hours before kickoff and hiding under canvas to evade security.
After just two months of English football, Barnsley striker Daryl Dike has transformed from a good MLS striker into a transfer target for some of Europe's biggest clubs.
The Oklahoma native has seven goals in 13 matches for Barnsley, and the club has earned 32 of 39 possible points in the Championship during that stretch.
It’s always somewhat perplexing as to how streakers gain access to the field during professional sporting events.
But doing it when football matches are being played behind closed doors and with the security that entails? That’s outrageous. And doing it in an empty stadium when it’s the most important match in the home side’s 89-year history? Well that’s unbelievable.
And how about meeting all the above criteria but also doing it when your name around town is “The Nude Man of Granada”? That’s a miracle on grass.
Mason Mount is a promising player that's already on the world's radar despite being just a 22-year-old. Mount is a regular starter for Chelsea, and more than that, he's WhoScored's best-rated player for the Blues so far this season.
