Back to winning ways with terrific Palmer for Chelsea – Painful defeat for United in stoppage time!

Back to winning ways for Chelsea in the Premier League! His team Enzo Maresca beat Newcastle 2-1 at Stamford Bridge for Matchday 9, bouncing back from two consecutive defeats by Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

Now, the “blues” are in fourth place in the scoreboard, equaling 17 points with Arsenalwhich of course has less game. On the other hand, the “magpies” remained at 12 points and 12th place in the standings, now counting five games without a win in the league.

The protagonist of the match was (who else?) o Cole Palmer. The 22-year-old midfielder scored with a terrific “vertical” ball to Pedro Neto the first goal, after which the Portuguese had an easy job, giving a “take and put” assist to Nicholas Jackson for 1-0 in the 19th minute.

Absolutely incredible from Cole Palmer ??

In the 32nd minute, Lewis Hall provided an assist to Alexander Isak, who slotted into the empty net to equalize. The final score was signed by the formidable Palmer, who in the 47th minute became the owner of the ball after a mistake in the center area, took many meters with it and scored impressively with his left for 2-1. Now, the former City player counts 9 appearances with 7 goals and 5 assists in this year’s Premier League season.

New gela for Manchester United who continue to falter! Erik Ten Hag’s side were beaten 2-1 by West Ham at the ‘London Stadium’ and remain in 14th place in the table, being… closer to the relegation zone than the European places with just 3 wins in 9 matches .

The match was a rodeo in the first half, which had everything but goals. The “red devils” squandered big chances, with Diogo Dalot’s leading one, who passed Fabianski but managed to miss in front of an empty net. The 0-0 draw in the first half was unfair to the visitors, but things changed in the second half.

In the replay, Lopetegui’s changes made the Londoners more aggressive, who began to threaten more and more. Finally, the “hammers” opened the scoring in the 74th minute with Jarrod Bowen’s “steel” finish Danny Ings and viewing it Crisencio Somervillewho had come on as a half-time substitute, in front of an empty net.

United’s reaction came immediately, with a crazy phase in the 81st minute. After two heads in her area West Hamthe third was his Casemirowho sent the ball into the net and equalized at 1-1. The final score was determined in stoppage time. Matthijs de Ligt made a “sloppy” tackle on Danny Ings, which initially went unnoticed by the referee. Eventually, after VAR intervention, the penalty was awarded and Jarrod Bowen duly converted for a 2-1 final.

Great “cheers” for Tottenham too! The “spurs” were defeated with a score of 1-0 by the Crystal Palace at “Selhast Park” and they stayed at 13 points, losing ground in the battle for Champions League tickets. On the other hand, the home team went up to 6 points and got out of the danger zone with a valuable three points. The final score was made by Jean Philippe Mateta at 31′
