Brentford 1-0 Everton

With his winner against Everton, Ivan Toney has now played and scored all 13 penalties for the Bees and he has scored more penalties tahb any player in all of the four tiers of English football. Perfect.

Leicester City 4-2 Watford

Jamie Vardy has scored 9 Premier League goals this season, second only Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah. Rising.

After turning 30, Jamie Vardy has scored 93 Premier League goals, joint top with Arsenal legend, Ian Wright in the competition’s history. Old wine.

Watford’s Emmanuel Dennis became the third player after Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah and Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy to have being involved (goals and assists) in at least 10 Premier League goals this season. Delivering.

Manchester City 2-1 West Ham

Since the start of the 2020/2021 season, Manchester City’s Ilkay Gündogan has scored 15 goals (none from the penalty spot) in 37 appearances, behind Bruno Fernandes who has scored 13 in 49 within this time. Commander.

Under interim manager, Michael Carrick, Jadon Sancho has scored two goals in two matches, while he scored bone in 14 appearances under former manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. New life.

It would interest you to know that none of Chelsea’s last three managers has managed a win over Manchester United. Dreaded.

Sort:  

Leicester look like a riot this season. They really could go both ways. Either impress or disappoint but I understand it since they invested in youngsters who need time to develop.

Brentford have been taking the Moneyball approach with getting players who are cheap but can do a few but specific tasks. I can't wait to see what they'd do with a bigger budget.

Man City are Man City lol. Cancelo in specific has been a treat to watch.

Finally, we can praise Man U all we want but this was Chelsea against De Gea and De Gea won.

Ahahahahaha... Your last comment though 😂.

True, Leicester have been here, there and everywhere. No consistency yet this season.

I think Chelsea can do better

Yes, they can. It was a different ball game against Man United.
