A recap of the wins and the losses!
Last weekend’s round of fixtures was the last round of games before the international break which is probably going to be the last break before the World Cup in Qatar. It is also worthy to mention that the Premier League resumed this weekend after taking a much-needed break to show respect to the Queen of England who passed away last week. Although not all Premier League games went on as planned the ones that happened were not short of drama as usual.
Manchester City continued their good form in the league as they cruised past Wolverhampton Wanderers 3 goals to nil. Erling Haaland scored again to take his goal tally up to 11 for the season in the league. Leicester City’s season went from bad to worse as they were absolutely mauled by Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspurs 6 goals to 2. Leicester City are without a win this season in the league after 7 games. It is still a surprise that Brendan Rodgers hasn’t lost his job yet.
Arsenal recovered from their defeat to Manchester United by defeating fellow London club Brentford by 3 goals to nil. They are now back at the summit of the league table. Westham United’s season went from bad to worse also as they lost to Everton 1 goal to nil. It was Everton’s first win of the season thanks to a goal from Neal Maupay (the assist for the goal was given by our very own Alex Iwobi who was a stand-out performer in that game). Taiwo Awoniyi also scored for Nottingham Forest as they lost 3-2 to London club Fulham.
In La Liga, Barcelona defeated Elche by 3 goals to nil. Real Madrid also defeated Atletico Madrid by 2 goals to 1. Real Madrid remains top of the league, leading second-place Barcelona by 2 points.
In the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund defeated FC Schalke by 1 goal o nil thanks to a goal from youngster Youssoufa Moukoko. Borussia Monchengladbach absolutely cruised past RB Leipzig 3 goals to nil. The biggest result in the Bundesliga this weekend was Augsburg defeating Bayern Munich by 1 goal to nil. Bayern have not won any of their last 4 Bundesliga games. Union Berlin on the other hand continued their fairytale start to the season with another 2-nil victory against Wolfsburg.
Union Berlin are top of the Bundesliga after 7 games. Borussia Dortmund, Freiburg, and Hoffenheim are 2nd 3rd, and 4th respectively. Champions Bayern Munich are 5th after 7 games.
In Serie A, champions AC Milan were defeated by Napoli by 2 goals to 1. Inter Milan were brutally outclassed by Udinese who defeated them 3 goals to 1. Juventus’s season went from bad to worse as they were defeated by 18th-placed Monza 1 goal to nil. Juventus have not won any of their last 3 league games.
Atalanta continued their impressive start to the season with another important victory against Jose Mourinho’s A.S Roma. Napoli are top of the league table with Atalanta, Udinese, and Lazio in second third, and fourth respectively.
