boxing day early fixtures 26-12-18
FA PREMIERE LEAGUE
FULLHAM 1-1 WOLVES
SAISS SALVATION
Wolves were more assured after the break without regularly
threatening before Fulham substitute Ryan Sessegnon scuffed in a volley after
Rui Patricio's weak punch on 74 minutes.
But the hosts could not hold on for a third Premier League
win of the season as Ivan Cavaleiro got in down the left to slide the ball
across goal, with Fulham wing-back Joe Bryan stopping the ball but then falling
over - allowing Romain Saiss to tap in his first Premier League goal.
MY
OPINION
Another great point for Fullham
makes me think that they have a chance of surviving this season. FOR Wolves there
should be a sense of contentment with how they are playing as people like Saiss
and Cavalerio can still change a game
BURNLEY 1-5 EVERTON
DIGNE DOES DAMAGE
Yerry Mina, Lucas Digne and Gylfi Sigurdsson found the
target as the Toffees, who went into the game on the back of two consecutive
defeats, went 3-0 up after 22 minutes.
Ben Gibson got Burnley on the scoreboard before the interval
but Digne added an impressive long-range second in the second half and
substitute Richarlison scored a fifth late on.
MY
OPINION
If Everton were able to put in
more performances like this any season then Champions League is not an
impossible target for them and I have seen the damage that they can do. Burnley
are now in some serious trouble.
CRYSTAL PALICE 0-0
CARDIFF CITY
DRAW GETS CARDIFF
OUT OF HOLE
Andros Townsend flicked a shot against the crossbar and Luka
Milivojevic hit the post for the hosts who dominated possession but
disappointed in front of goal.
MY
OPINION
This result helps Cardiff keep
their premiership hopes alive as this battle is becoming more and more
important. We can now say they are solid in defence
MAN UNITED 3-1
HUDDERSFIELD
PERFECT POGBA
Nemanja
Matic scored the opener, poking in from close range after Victor Lindelof's
header was saved by Jonas Lossl The impressive Pogba added two more for
the hosts in the second half, sweeping in a first-time shot from the edge of
the box and rocketing another from 30 yards out to settle the contest.
Mathias Jorgensen
swept home a consolation late on.
MY
OPINION
Solsar
has got the happy feeling back in the United camp especially the Pogba camp
which is one of the big things needed to do. Huddersfield have to change fast
or they are down. I feel that top 6 is not impossible
SPURS 5-0 BOURNMOUTH
HAPPY HUN MIN
Right-back
Kyle Walker-Peters put in a superb performance as he created all three of
Spurs' first-half goals.
The
21-year-old teed up Christian Eriksen to open the scoring with a deflected
effort, before Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura strikes put the hosts firmly in
control.
Harry Kane
added a fourth from a clever Eriksen pass and Son grabbed his second after a
scramble in the Bournemouth box.
MY
OPINION
Spurs
are now coming into focus for the league title moving up to second in the
league. You do wonder how exactly they will cope with that sense of pressure. We
all know they have the quality to win but could they be battling for second spot.
LEICESTER 2-1 MAN CITY
RICARDO PEREIRA
ROMANCES
The visitors
had taken a 14th-minute lead when they took advantage of poor defending from
the home side as Sergio Aguero released Bernardo Silva and he calmly slotted
past Kasper Schmeichel.
But their
lead only lasted five minutes as Marc Albrighton headed in from Jamie Vardy's
cross. Ricardo blasted in a winner from the edge of the penalty area in the
81st minute after Leroy Sane's weak header
MY
OPINION
This
has done serious damage to Man Citys league title chase as I would have thought
they were favourites at one stage now it does feel a little bit like they are challenging
for second spot.
LIVERPOOL 4-0NEWCASTLE
LOVERN GETS THEM
GOING
Lovren
dispatched a half-volley into the roof of the net.
Salah's
penalty doubled the lead after referee Graham Scott judged that Paul Dummett
had fouled the Egypt forward, before Shaqiri tucked home the third from an
assist by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool
completed the scoring through Fabinho's header killed the game off
MY OPINION
Liverpool
look on top form at the moment and have the players that can change the game in
an instant. I think that Liverpool’s next couple of fixtures will show us where
they are and what exactly they can do.
