Early kick-off for Saturday matches saw the hammers hosting the table topper Chelsea and a silly mistake caused Chelsea's downfall but football is sweet when mistakes are made and the West Ham United were able to gather all 3 points at home as they won the match 3 goals to 2. Newcastle United finally pick up their first week of the season when they defeated Burnley by a lone goal. Southampton and Brighton shared the spoiled as they 1-1 draw at Saint Jame park. Wolverhampton gave Liverpool a run for their money but an extra added-time goal from Origi was enough to seal the victory for the reds. Watford versus Manchester City was the last match from Saturday dosage as the Citizens ran route to secure all 3 points away from home.
Sunday was another round of fixtures as 3 plays were played at the same time. Leeds United versus Brentford was an encounter that I loved so much because the dim minute goal hurt some much as Leeds United fought back to steal a point from the match. Tottenham Hotspur under Antonio Conte is yet to taste a loss as he made 5/5 as the new manager. For me, it was a one-sided match as they rainstorm on Norwich City with 3 goals to nil. Manchester United needed a 3 point and 3 point is what they got from Old Trafford against Crystal Palace as Fred came to the Red Devils rescue. Aston Villa at Villa Park was able to overcome Leicester City's side. This result has given Steven Gerrard almost a perfect start except they lose they suffer in the hands of Manchester City in the mid-week. Still counting for him, 3 wins and 1 lost for him.
Monday in wrestling is known as Monday night raw and I will apply this term in the match between Everton and Arsenal. Both sides lost during the Mid-week to Liverpool and Manchester United respectively but Everton needed the crucial 3 points having 5 matches without a win. They had to come from behind to take all 3 points against Gunner's side that look so tired and weary. 2-1 was the scoreline at Goodison Park.
Matchday 15 saw a turnaround in the log table as Chelsea dropped to 3rd position after their defeat to West Ham United. Newcastle United finally got back to winning ways but will they maintain that form, the story is left untold. Manchester United back-to-back victory is a good way to revive their career this season. Aston Villa continues to impress under their new boss but how will they hang up there, the season will justify that for us.
Stay tuned for the matchday 16 preview as I come your way once again.
