What a wonderful Saturday to never to forget. It was really a bad one for bettor's who would ever want to minimise risk and stake on big clubs. At this point in time, most event outcome seem to backfire. This astonishing results started with PSG on Friday. They took many unaware with their loss away against Dijon. Though Kylian Mbappe first found the net for the visitors early in the game but that didn't stop the host to get the comeback win they deserved in the game. M.Chouiar 45+6 minute goal levelled the game while J.Cadiz early solo run gave the the comeback they deserved. This kept them afloat till the final whistle.
So many unlikely issues have equally been revolving around Europe's top country leagues for a while now and the outcome seems to be affecting their game. Some stood firm and are surviving the heat while others looks like they are giving up the ghost in phase one.
English Premier League.
Arsenal vs Wolves
Wolves gave Arsenal a tooth and nail battle away at the Fly Emirate stadium on Saturday as their fierce battle ended in a 1-1 draw. With Xhaka not involved in the game with Torreira replacing him in the middle, Aubameyang made captain for the day and Mesut Ozil starting his first EPL game since middle September, no fruitful result yielded for the London Reds. Aubameyang broke the goalless dread luck in the 21st minute following a brilliant build up from Luiz to Lacazette to Pierre. He easy slides in the goal past Patricio. The goal brought balance to Arsenals game as the subdued the early minute pressures from Wolverhampton. R.Jimenez heads home an equalizer in the late second half. He wasn't much involved in the game but a goal at this point has redeemed that.
With the draw at home, Unai Emery has a lot of explanations to do for the fans as another draw just piled up pressure on him. Former Arsenal player Ian Wright condemned the decision made by the coach. Moreover, Gunnar's fans got a taste of what they've been giving away. Wolves supporters hilariously trolled them after the game.
Bournemouth vs Manchester United
Bournemouth Inflicts another away loss on Manchester United when we thought all things were becoming bright and beautiful for Ole Solskjær. A poor defensive mix up from Maguire and Wan Bissaka as they gave way for King to secure the lead for the host. Wan Bissaka was on the number seven shirt after a cross came in from the right side of the field. Instead of applying pressure from behind on the attacker, he was in a haste to carry out a smart defensive clearance which paved a little way for the attacker to slot in the ball past De Gea. The Red Devils were equally poor on attack as they couldn't come up with a scoring strategy. Mctominey and James were able to fire off target shots that looked enticing but not enough to bring a goal. They could have moved to seventh position on the table if they had managed to secure a win but the opposite was the case as they sat comfortably in the second half of the table.
Manchester City vs Southampton
After their 0-9 defeat couple of weekends, the Saint faced the defending champions at the Ethihad Stadium. They got the early lead from J.Ward-Prowse capitalised on a rebound from Armstrong's outside box shot that was initially spilled by Ederson. They seized the opportunity to grab a win and allowed pressure on themselves as the host kept the heat on looking for an equaliser. Kun Aguero found the breakthrough for City from a Kyle Walker cross. Walker finally gave city the lead as he smashes home a cross from Angelino. Southampton perhaps deserves something from the match but it was no to be as theor exceptionally bad week comes to a close. At least both team shared something in common as City records the season biggest home win (8-0) while the visitors suffered the biggest home defeat (0-9).
Aston Villa vs Liverpool
Liverpool were lucky enough not to drop points against Aston villa as Robertson's and Mane late goals aid them equalize Trezeguet 21st minute opener. The duo 87th and 90+ goals saved Jurgen Klopp the bitter moment that awaited him. City could have drawn up close to the top table. The additional minute goals have actually saved the Merseyside Reds for sometime now as they record a 35th against Aston villa.
La Liga.
Real Madrid vs Real Betis
The table is looking quite funny as neither team wants to stay afloat the table for long. Barcelona who took charge after Real Madrid lost to Mallorca has equally lost a match during the weekend while Real Madrid who could have regained the top table were miserably held to a goalless draw by Betis at Saint Bernabeu. A win would have taken the two points clear off Barcelona.
Levante vs Barcelona
The Catalans faced another defeat at the hands of same Levante who caused them their seasonal unbeaten run in May 2018 in a 5-4 home win. This win records a third one for them against Barcelona in 27 la liga matches (3W, 4D, 20L). The other win was in October 1964 in a 5-1 home win.
Lionel Messi scores the first goal in the game from the penalty spot as he gave the team a first half lead. Fortunately for Levante, they had a phenomenal turnaround in the second half where they came back to equalise and win the game 3-1. It was a seven minute of wonders for the home side as they scored in the 61st, 63rd and 68 minutes respectively. Though, the Catalans remain at the top table, a lost in their outstanding match will see them at the bottom top four if Real Madrid, Sevilla and Athletico capitalizes on such opportunity.
Bundesliga
Leipzig vs Mainz
Leipzig has not come to joke this time around as they smashed eight past Mainz in a home win. Their win saw them climb to third position as Bayern suffered a data 5-1 loss against Frankfurt. The Leipzig sides have gone four matches without a win (2D, 2L). Having their worst season where they've only accumulated 15 points in nine opening games. They had 21 in 2016/17, 19 in 2017/18 and 16 in 2018/19. With the engraved anger, they hammered helpless Mainz 8-0 to gather back their momentum. T.Werner secured himself a hat trick while M.Sabitzer, C.Nkunku, M.Halstenberg, Y.Poulsen and N.Mukiele shared the rest.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern München
Bayern were shocked with an unbelievable defeat from Frankfurt who struggles to keep their pace for the top four challenge. The host opened the score sheet and doubled the lead before Lewandoski reduced the deficit by one goal but they couldn't keep up with the pressure from the home side as they were one man down since Jerome Boateng was sent off in the 9th minute even before the goals kept coming in. Eintracht scored three in the second half to finalize their third win in five la liga matches.
This will be all for the week!!!
