S15M6: Light Jacket

Oh look. A one matchweek blog.

Wonders will never cease...

What happened? Well...

Liverpool beat Everton 2–1 in a derby that felt like two cousins arguing over who gets the last roast potato. Gravenberch scored, Ekitike scored, and then Everton remembered they exist, before promptly forgetting again. Slot grinned the grin of a man who has found both his car keys and a tenner in the same pocket.

Arsenal versus Manchester City was meant to be grandmaster chess. Instead it was toddlers with soup spoons. City executed a never seen-before-game-plan, Arsenal huffed, and then in the 93rd minute Martinelli lobbed in a goal so audacious it should have been wearing a fake moustache. One-all, both sides left clutching a balloon animal shaped like disappointment. I left to go to work. I was VERY tired on Monday

Over in Manchester, United and Chelsea staged a farce in the Surrey Derby. Red cards fell like confetti at a budget wedding. Casemiro scored, then received his own eviction notice. Chelsea’s goalkeeper vanished early as if he was a united fan needing to beat the traffic home. Somehow it ended 2–1 to United, though no one was entirely sure whether they’d watched football or avant-garde theatre.

Elsewhere, Brighton and Spurs played a 2–2 that resembled polite applause, Burnley and Forest refused to acknowledge each other’s existence, and West Ham quietly surrendered to Crystal Palace. Aston Villa finally scored a goal after weeks of striking a vow of silence, but then immediately spoiled it with a red card, gifting Sunderland a way back.
