Club Football returned after the international break, so much to the delight of many football fans. There weren’t many surprises this weekend, save for Chelsea’s heavy defeat at home to relegation-battling West Brom.
The match which ended 5-2 in favour of the visitors, handed Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel his first loss at home since taking over from club legend, Frank Lampard in January. The defeat sees the London Club stutter in their bid to tighten their grip on 4th position after Matheus Pereira and Callum Robinson inspired the Baggies to a sensational performance, albeit Chelsea reduced to 10 men.
On Sunday, two goals from England captain, Harry Kane were not enough to help Spurs move into 4th position with Joe Willock ensuring the Londoners were pegged back at 2-2 after a late equaliser for Newcastle United.
Over the weekend, there were also wins for Leeds United, Manchester City away at Leicester, and Liverpool at Arsenal.
In the French Ligue Une, Neymar saw Red in what was, a heated top of the table decider between PSG and Lille at the Parc de Princes. PSG coach and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted after the encounter that it is difficult to win the title with his current crop of PSG players.
In Italy, Ronaldo spared Juve the blushes against neighbours, Torino after a brace from Antonio Sanrabia had helped the host turn the game on its head following Federico Chiesa’s 13th minute strike that gave Juve an early lead in Turin.
AC Milan had the opportunity to put pressure on leaders Inter but failed after their 1-1 draw with Sampdoria at the San Siro. Inter extended their lead at the top to 8 points with Romelu Lukaku’s strike helping them to a 1-0 victory over Bologna.
Bayern Munich are peeling away from RB Leipzig following their 1-0 victory over their closest rivals. The German and European champions now have 64 points from 27 games, having lost 3 and drawn 4. RB Leipzig are 2nd with 57 points from 27 games, while Wolfsburg are 3rd with 54 points from 27 games.
