Chelsea's Nightmare Continues!

Image
Chelsea's poor performance continued on Sunday premier league action against Aston Villa when they lost 1-0 at the Stamford Bridge. This loss leaves the blues stranded at the half bottom of the premier league table having won only one match out of the six opening fixtures of the 2023/2024 season campaign. Although it was a tough game, some might say they could have done better since they created so many chances but failed to score. Nicolas Jackson, Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling were left frustrated when they could not shoot past Martinez who has never lacked confidence between the goal posts. The match went goalless at the break with Chelsea coming strong in the second half but they were reduced to ten men when Malo Gustavo was shown a red card for his tackle on Lucas Digne. The defender was initially shown a yellow card, but the referee decided to upgrade it to a red  after a VAR review. Villa took the advantage 15 minutes later when Thiago Silva made an awful...

Manchester United Dreadful Performance Continues!

Manchester United lost 3-1 at home against Brighton on Saturday league action. This lost ended their one year unbeaten home run at the Old Trafford. Brighton looked sharp and were able to run all over Erick Ten Hag's side breaking the deadlock in the 20th minute with a calm finish from United former player Danny Welbeck giving the seagulls the much deserved lead. United equaliser was disallowed minutes later after Marcus Rashford crossed the line to give an assist from outside the pitch for Rasmus Hojlund to score what he thought was his first United goal. Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro added second-half goals for Brighton to make it 3-0 after poor defending but Hannibal Mejbri replied for Man Utd with a consolation goal. The red devils have now lost three of their opening five Premier League games for the first time in 34 years. Manchester United will play Bayern Munich next in the champions League on Wednesday night before resuming to league action on Saturday against Burnley. Brigh...

Arsenal Humbles Manchester United

Mikel Arteta's side came from a goal behind to beat Manchester United 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in a mouth watering encounter. The gunners dream of lifting the premier league has been revived judging from their performance on Sunday dominating most of the match especially in the first half. United were hit by two sucker punches in the second half injury time, as the gunners came from behind to claim all three points. Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a sensational strike in the 27th minute-his first goal of the season-but the Red Devils lead lasted for just 35 seconds, as Arsenal's captain Martin Odegaard fired in a shot to level the score. Arsenal were initially awarded a penalty in the second half by the referee Antony Taylor when Kai Havertz went to ground after running between Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka but it was overturned by the VAR. The VAR later worked against Manchester when substitute  Alejandro Garnacho  's 88th minute goal...
