Four games Tuesday evening which accumulated a total of 15 goals but some dropped points from winning positions was disappointing for a couple of big name clubs, firstly Man City who made the trip to Community Stadium. The first half was end to end with Brentford having the most chances but it was the second half where the four goals came. Similar to the first 45 mins it was end to end but Brentford kept a tight back four so Man City were struggling to make the breakthrough, Savinho hitting the post midway through the second half.
The breakthrough came in the 66th minute with Phil Foden getting on the end of a De Bruyne cross. It was what the game needed, Brentford were pushing for an equaliser and City needed the assistance of Ake to block a shot on goal when keeper Ortega left his line. Man City doubled their lead in the 78th minute when Foden netted again. What looked to be like game over for the homeside was put on hold when Wissa got one back and it was game on. The Man City lead was completely eroded in the 92nd minute when Norgaard equalised. Pepes three game winning run ended in what will feel like a loss for his team. Now 12pts behind the leaders it looks like they are now out of the title race and have gone as big as 30/1 with non UKGC casinos.
It was also Chelsea who dropped points from a winning position, Enzo Maresca’s men took the lead at Stamford Bridge when Code Palmer scored in the 13th minute. Bournemouth had to make an early substitute when Kluivert came on for the injured Hill. It wasn’t long into the second half when the equaliser came for the visitors, Kluivert netting from the penalty spot.
Andoni Iraola’s men took a shock lead in the 68th min when Semenyo got on the end of a Christie assist. Chelsea made some changes but it wasn’t till the 95th minute where Reece James salvaged a point for the home side. Chelsea now sit 4th and are out to 80/1 for the title with American betting sites for UK, now ten points behind leaders Liverpool. Bournemouth are in 7th and really pushing for European football next season.
It was a winning first game for new West Ham manager Graham Potter, his side ended their three match winless run. It took 31 minutes for the opening goal when Soler scored and only two minutes later the homesides lead was doubled when captain Soucek got on the end of a Wan-Bissaka cross.
Alex Iwobi got one back for Fulham six minutes into the second half but the potential comeback was halted when Lucas Paqueta made it 3-1 for the Hammers. It was a slightly nervous last ten minutes when Iwobi scored again for the visitors but the game ended 3-2 to West Ham.
What looked to be the game of the night was Nottingham Forest welcoming Liverpool to the City ground. Chris Wood netted for the home side after just 8 minutes taking his season’s tally to 13 goals. Liverpool pressed and pressed but it wasn’t until the 66th minute where Liverpool’s substitute Diego Jota equalised. Liverpool had 71% of the possession in the game and with 23 shots to Forests 6 it looked to be a happy point for Nuno Santo’s men who now sit in 2nd in the table and six points behind leaders Liverpool and are as short as 30/1 with credit card betting sites to win the Premier League.
