S13M14: Second Trimester

 One third of the season gone. 

Man City & Liverpool kicked the weekend off and shared the points. Liverpool not at their best - a rare dodgy game from Alisson but they stayed in the game and were rewarded with a late strike from TAA to equalise.  Later goals were the theme of the weekend, with winnners from Soucek for West Ham, Brown for Luton, Havertz for Arsenal & Willian for Fulham at the death. 

It was also the first game for Everton since their points deduction and they were determined to turn Goodison into a bear pit. That only lasted a few minutes before a brilliant overhead kick from Garnacho deflated the atmosphere. In fairness, Everton created enough to get something from the game, but failed to take anything, whilst leaking like a Tory cabinet in the run up to an election at the back - Man Utd running out comfortable winners. Equally comfortable were Newcastle, who scored a quick brace, before Chelsea captain Reece James decided to ensure he got first dibs on the hot water and Bournemouth, who were 3-0 up with the kettle on after 51 minutes.

Villa &Brighton picked up away wins - Emery getting the better of his good mate, Ange who has seen the early season form drift away through injury and suspension. Brighton held off a Notts Forest comeback when down to 10 men after Lewis Dunk, allegedly, called the ref a cheat. Which, given the PGMOL Shambles this season, probably falls down on Hanlon's razor.
