The Weekly Premier League Review: Matchday 19

Thursday  

Brentford vs Wolves

Final score line: 1-4

Scorers: Mario Lemina (13’) assisted by Pablo Sarabia  

               Hwang Hee-Chan (14’)

               Yoane Wissa (16’) assisted by Neal Maupay  

               Hwang Hee-Chan (28’) assisted by Toti  

               Jeanricner Bellegarde (79’) assisted by Matheus Cunha  

Match facts: Wolves win comfortably on the night against a Brentford side who looks to be in some trouble considering their striker's unavailability. They’d be hoping to cash in on Ivan Toney this time out to fund a new striker. Hwang Hee-Chan was exceptional as he scored a brace to help his team win 4-1 in the Premier League.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace  

Final score line: 2-1

Scorers: Mykhailo Mudryk (13’) assisted by Malo Gusto  

               Micheal Olise (45+3’) assisted by Jordan Ayew  

               Noni Madueke (89’) Penalty  

Match facts: Chelsea has only one thing in mind to just keep winning to reach the same potential they always had and become a European regular considering the reputation they hold in the Premier League as one of the big six. They won against a thought Crystal Palace squad who were good throughout the game but eventually lost against the London Blue for whom Noni Madueke scored a penalty during the dying stages of the game.  

Everton vs Manchester City

Final score line: 1-3

Scorers: Jack Harrison (29’) assisted by Dwight McNeil  

              Phil Foden (51’) assisted by Bernardo Silva  

               Julian Alvarez (64’) Penalty  

               Bernardo Silva (86’)

Match facts: Premier League defending champions were given a scare when they were down to a goal scored by former player Jack Harrison with their main man Erling Haaland missing the match through an injury. It took the first half to analyze and settle but then came back stronger to score three goals from World Cup winner Julian Alvarez, Bernardo Silva, and Phil Foden to earn some vital points to stay in the Premier League title race.

Friday  

Brighton vs Tottenham

Final score line: 4-2  

Scorers: Jack Hinshelwood (11’) assisted by Joao Pedro  

               Joao Pedro (23’) Penalty  

               Pervis Eatupinian (63’) assisted by James Milner  

               Joao Pedro (75’) Penalty  

                Alejo Velez (81’) assisted by Heung Min Son  

                Ben Davis (85’) assisted by Pedro Porro  

Match facts: Tottenham as we’re looking like to have caught form with some wins and major returns of some vital first-team players had a surprising defeat against a Brighton side who looked like they played just the way they played during the start of the season. Protagonist Joao Pedro scored two penalties while setting up the other to be valued as the Man of the Match player.

Arsenal vs West Ham

Final score line: 0-2  

Scorers: Thomas Sucek (13’) assisted by Jarod Bowen  

               K. Mavrapanos (55’) assisted by James Ward Prowse  

Match facts: Arsenal had a glorious chance to come back on top of the lead with a win over West Ham at home but failed to deliver after having a lot of possession and 20-plus shot attempts. It has happened after a long time that Arsenal has not managed to score after having these many attempts to score. On the other end, West Ham scored both the goals on counter attack with Mavrapanos scoring against his former employers to crown off the game.
