19-4-19 EUROPA LEAGUE
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE
CHELSEA 4-3 SLAVIA
PRAGUE agg 3-5
PERFECT PEDRO
Pedro cut infield from the right and played two
one-twos, the first with Azpilicueta and the second with Giroud, before lifting
the ball gently over Kolar. That was sheer delightful football
It was made by
Hazard, who scampered into the area, beat Ngadeu and slid the ball
across to give Pedro an open goal from two yards. Somehow he managed to slap it
onto the post, a quite ridiculous miss, but the ball rebounded off the face of
Deli and into the net.
This is so easy. Kante slides a fine angled pass to put
Pedro through on goal. He could probably score himself but instead squares it
for Giroud to slide into an empty net from 12 yards.
Tomas Soucek gets an early consolation goal. It was a nice
corner routine actually. Sevcik curled it out towards the penalty spot, where
Soucek made a late run and planted an excellent header into the net
Dear lord, another goal. Hazard releases Emerson, who slides
a lovely low cross towards the near post. Giroud’s close-range shot is saved by
Kolar, but Pedro shovels it in from six yards with his left foot.
It was a mistake from Kepa, who left too big a gap at the
near post, but it was still a beautiful strike from Sevcik.
Sevcik has scored an
even better goal, a right-footed shot from 20 yards that roared across
Kepa and into the far corner.
MY
OPINION
Chelsea were deadly scoring
their goals at the early stage of the match but do know this might be their
only way into next seasons Champions League. Slavia had their place in the
Champions League qualifiers already assured or they would want to think so but
Chelsea had more quality
FRANKFURT 2-0 BENFICA
agg 4-4 Frankfurt won on away goals
RODE INTO RAPTURES
Filip Kostic left
footed shot from the left side of the box to the centre of the goal.
Sebastian Rode right
footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by
Ante Rebic.
MY
OPINION
Benfica have got their target to
win the Portuguese league while Frankfurt are playing for Champions League
football which shows that there was more on the line for the German side. I think
there was a sense that they had to push for the big win and they knew they
might need it
NAPOLI 0-1 ARSENAL agg
0-3
LOVELY LACAZETTE
Lacazette gets up and
takes it himself. And what a hit! He whips it round the wall and into the top
right. But what was Meret doing? His feet were planted, he made no effort
whatsoever to dive for the ball. Completely flummoxed! He was leaning the other
way, and couldn’t check his momentum. Arsenal have their away goal,
and now Napoli need four!
MY
OPINION
Naopoli were not playing with a
sense of worry as they knew that they would be playing Champions League
football while Arsenal were playing in the hope that they could reach that
point so that to me is again what made the difference
VALENCIA 2-0 VILAREAL
agg 5-1
LOVELY LATO
Toni Lato left footed shot from the left side of the six
yard box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Gonçalo Guedes.
Daniel Parejo from a free kick with a right footed shot to
the top right corner.
MY
OPINION
Valencia have proven all season
with such a cap in the league how much better they are but their position even
in Europa is not safe so this draw and the way they were able to kill off the
tie I consider to be incredible
