THANKS TO TWO SUPERB GOALS FROM DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI AT 11 MINS. AND ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER AT 63 MINS. (AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE MATCH BETWEEN FOREST VS ARSENAL RESULTED IN A GOALLESS DRAW), LIVERPOOL ARE NOW 13 POINTS AHEAD OF ARSENAL AT THE TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE! NEWCASTLE TRIED THEIR VERY BEST, BUT FOUND IT HARD TO EQUALISE LIVERPOOL’S DEXTERITY. THEY HAD 3 SHOTS, AND MADE 366 PASSES, WITH AN 84% PASS ACCURACY. LIVERPOOL HAD 12 SHOTS, WITH  3 ON TARGET, (INCLUDING THE 2 AFOREMENTIONED GOALS), AND MADE 594 PASSES WITH AN 89% ACCURACY, ALL CULMINATING IN A 2 – 0 WIN TO LIVERPOOL!   BY AMANDA WATERS

PREMIER LEAGUE : NOTTINGHAM FOREST VS ARSENAL – 26/02/2025 THERE WERE 6 SHOTS FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST WITH 2 ON TARGET, MAKING 268 PASSES WITH A 74% PASS ACCURACY YESTERDAY, WITH ARSENAL HAVING 13 SHOTS, WITH 1 ON TARGET, AND MAKING 502 PASSES, WITH AN 87% PASS ACCURACY, RETAINING 66% POSSESSION OF THE BALL.  IT WAS ALSO QUITE FEISTY, WITH 17 FOULS FROM ARSENAL AND 10 FROM FOREST, WITH 1 YELLOW-CARD-A-PIECE.  (AND A COUPLE OF CONTROVERSIAL PENALTY DECISIONS.)  BUT WITH NOTHING ACTUALLY HITTING-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET, IT WAS STALEMATE (0 – 0), WITH ARSENAL NOW 13 POINTS BEHIND LIVERPOOL AT THE TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE! 

PREMIER LEAGUE – BOURNEMOUTH VS WOLVES – 22/02/2025 MATHEUS CUNHA’S STUNNING FIRST-HALF GOAL FOR WOLVES WAS AN EYE-OPENER FOR BOURNEMOUTH YESTERDAY, (FOLLOWING SOME SLIGHTLY EARLIER BAD LUCK WHEN ILLIA ZABARNYI WAS RED-CARDED AT 31 MINS. FOR SOME ‘STUDS-OUT’ ARGEY-BARGEY ON RAYAN AIT-NOURI’S SHIN) LEAVING THEM DOWN TO 10 MEN.  BOURNEMOUTH HAD 8 SHOTS, WITH 3 ON TARGET AND WOLVES HAD 13 SHOTS, WITH 5 ON TARGET (INCLUDING CUNHA’S GOAL), AND ALSO HAD 55% POSSESSION, BUT WITH CUNHA’S GOAL REMAINING THE ONLY GOAL OF THE MATCH, IT ENDED IN A 1 – 0 WIN TO WOLVES!

PREMIER LEAGUE :  ARSENAL VS WEST HAM – 22/02/2025 ARSENAL HAD 20 SHOTS, WITH 2 ON TARGET, AND MADE 642 PASSES, WITH AN 89% PASS ACCURACY, BUT WERE UNABLE TO REACH-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST WEST HAM YESTERDAY. THEY WENT DOWN TO 10 MEN AFTER SOME ARGEY-BARGEY BETWEEN MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY AND MOHAMMED KUDUS AFTER HE KNICKED THE BALL FROM HIM, AND WAS TAKEN DOWN, SO LEWIS-SKELLY WAS RED CARDED AT 73 MINS. WEST HAM MADE 309 PASSES, WITH A 77% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 5 SHOTS, WITH 2 ON TARGET, INCLUDING A STUNNING HEADER FROM JARROD BOWEN AT 44 MINS. AND WITH NOTHING FURTHER REACHING-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET, THIS EXCITING MATCH ENDED IN A 1 – 0 WIN TO WEST HAM!   MIKEL ARTETA SPEAKS AFTER THE MATCH “IT’S VERY PAINFUL.  FIRST OF ALL, I CONGRATULATE WEST HAM...

BRENTFORD HAD A GREAT DAY AT THE OFFICE YESTERDAY, WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF ENERGETIC GOALS FROM YOANNE WISSA AT 17 MINS., BRYAM MBEUMO AT 27 MINS., AND CHRISTIANO NORGAARD AT 43 MINS.   (ALL BEFORE THE END OF THE FIRST-HALF!  IMAGINE THE LEICESTER CITY DRESSING ROOM AT HALF-TIME😒)  IN TOTAL, BRENTFORD HAD 14 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON TARGET, INCLUDED ANOTHER CRACKING LATE GOAL FROM A SPRITELY FABIO CARVALHO AT 89 MINS., WHO HAD JUST BEEN SUBBED OFF THE BENCH, AND LEICESTER CITY HAD 6 SHOTS, WITH 3 ON TARGET, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF SUPERB ATTEMPTS FROM JAMIE VARDY, WHICH HE COULDN’T GET PAST AN EXTREMELY COMPETENT MARK FLEKKEN. YOANNE WISSA CELEBRATES SCORING THE FIRST GOAL OF THE MATCH AT 17 MINS. THE GAME CULMINATED IN A 4 – 0 WIN TO BRENTFORD, BUT THERE WAS ‘MUTINY ON THE HO...
