Liverpool With a L ate Equalizer As they Share The Spoils With Chelsea

 


The Reds are level, and you have to say they deserve it. Sheyi Ojo swings over an excellent searching cross, a backpedalling Asmir Begovic makes a complete Horlicks of it and flaps the ball to Christian Benteke, who heads into an empty net from two yards out.

Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

And that's it. All in all, a fair result.

Suarez Worried He Would Not Fit Into Barcelona Style Next Season

 tmp_10792-suarez-109674029

Luis Suarez has revealed he was worried about not fitting into Barcelona’s playing style, when he joined in 2014.
In his debut season, the former Liverpool striker netted 25 times in 43 appearances.
This season, Suarez has scored 56 goals in 51 appearances for the Catalan club.
Upon joining from Liverpool, Suarez did not envision such a prolific spell, admitting he was troubled about fitting into the ‘tiki-taka’ style.
“I never imagined that I would be scoring goals here,” he told ESPN. “I never felt I would adapt to this team’s style of play the way I have.
“Sometimes they start the touches and I think that I can’t do that, that they will play it like that and I will just push it [toward the goal].”

Pedro Playing With Mask This Evening After Suffering A Broken Nose With A Mystery Accident At His Home

 Pedro

Pedro is playing in a mask this evening after suffering a broken nose in a "mystery incident at his home". The mind boggles. Anyway, he does brilliantly to embark on a mazy run at the heart of the Liverpool defence, but his shot is well blocked.

Chelsea Lead Liverpool With Hazard's 32nd Minute's Strike and 5th Goal This Season

GOAL - Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea

 Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard
Tedium very much broken. This is an absolutely superb goal from Eden Hazard. He picks up the ball with his back to goal 30 yards out, turns, glides past three men, and passes the ball nonchalantly into the bottom corner. Brilliant.

Norwich Back On Track On Track With Mbokani's Strike

GOAL - Norwich 4-2 Watford

Dieumerci Mbokani (56 mins)
Norwich going down fighting.

 A lovely, lovely goal and it's Norwich's two best players who combine.
Nathan Redmond with a silky turn to put Dieumerci Mbokani through on goal and he is as cool as a cucumber, waiting for Heurelho Gomes to go down before dinking the ball over him and into the net.
As mentioned, this result does not matter.
Sunderland lead Everton 3-0 which means the Canaries cannot catch them.


GOAL - Norwich 3-2 Watford

 Odion Ighako

Odion Ighalo (51 mins)
Goals galore.
Norwich had not woken up after half-time and pay the price.
Skipper Troy Deeney shows his imposing presence by holding off a Norwich defender, before cutting the ball back into the box.
Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo - 12 games without finding the net - finally breaks his duck, lashing home a finish to drag Watford back into the game.

Hope For Sunderland As They Lead Everton With A Lamie Kone's Brace.

GOAL - Sunderland 3-0 Everton

Lamine Kone
Surely that is game over and relegation battle over! Jermain Defoe goes close with a chip over Robles that Matthew Pennington has to scamper back to clear off the line for a corner. But from the resulting set-piece, Robles is forced to claw the ball away from Wahbi Khazri's delivery before the ball is lashed home from close range by that man Kone again.


GOAL - Sunderland 2-0 Everton

 Lamine Kone scores

Lamine Kone
Big, huge, massive! And that is just Lamine Kone. Everton fail to properly clear from a corner and the ball is headed back in by Van Aanholt and then lashed into the roof of the net by Kone. What a time to score your first Sunderland goal. The Sunderland fans are dancing in the stands.
