There were goals galore and drama all the way in Premier League football games this weekend.
Sports betting started with a surprise result and ended with an end-to-end Wembley rout (in terms of scoreline).
How was it for you?
West Ham United 0-3 Brighton & Hove Albion
Betting odds on Slaven Bilic’s future continue to be a source of interest. More so now after a Glenn Murray double secured Brighton’s first top-flight away victory since 1983.
The Hammers are just outside the drop zone but could the club recruit a better manager than Billic, realistically?
Chelsea 4-2 Watford
The late show at Stamford Bridge as the champions avoided a third straight league defeat but were fortunate to do so.
Michy Batshuayi’s goals proved crucial as Chelsea moved up to fourth.
Watford, who are experiencing a real upsurge under Marco Silva, will curse missed chances and lax defending which denied them a famous victory.
Huddersfield Town 2-1 Manchester United
A famous win for the Terriers. As this proud club welcomed the biggest in the land to Yorkshire, this was an unforgettable day for players, staff and fans alike.
Jose Mourinho will demand an instant response from his players, many of whom lacked intensity until it was too late.
Manchester City 3-0 Burnley
Battlers Burnley can take much credit from their showing.
Only a highly controversial penalty separated the sides until two goals inside three minutes settled the contest.
Suddenly, title favourites Man City have a five-point lead and Sergio Aguero deserved a standing ovation on the day he became the club’s equal record top scorer.
Newcastle United 1-0 Crystal Palace
Substitute Mikel Merino headed a late winner, with a bit of good fortune, to continue the Toon resurgence.
However, it must be said BBC pundit Garth Crooks’ assessment that Rafa Benitez could win the Premier League title at the club is far-fetched.
Palace remain bottom but this was a further show of improvement.
Stoke City 1-2 Bournemouth
The way Bournemouth players and manager Eddie Howe celebrated at full-time showed how important this could be.
Two first-half goals in 133 seconds did the damage.
Stoke, in the words of under-pressure boss Mark Hughes, now need to’ show their mettle’.
Swansea City 1-2 Leicester City
The Foxes may be manager-less but this was an impressive reaction after the sacking of Craig Shakespeare. A big relief for the 2016 champions.
A fourth home defeat in five for the struggling Swans as they conceded their 11th own goal in little over two seasons.
Southampton 1-0 West Bromwich Albion
It was always likely this contest would be settled by a mistake or a wonder goal. In the end it was the latter and Sofiane Boufal’s late run and finish deserved to win any game.
Mauricio Pellegrino’s men have now leapfrogged the Baggies as a result.
Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 Liverpool
In many ways this was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests. From the get-go, Spurs were more alert, clinical and deserved victory for their rip-roaring start alone.
Liverpool had chances themselves but failed to take them and their defensive woes and the substitution of Dejan Lovren after little more than half an hour will have done little for confidence.
Another double for the prolific Harry Kane – he now has 45 goals for club and country this calendar year!
