Results 🏟️

Late magic for Gunners scoring at 84’ & 90+6’.

Late magic for the Cherries at 90+3’ and they crush the CS bet to win $200.

United continue losing easily to small clubs.

3 late City goals and it’s a run away.

Palace deserved the win, getting a late goal at 90+7’ and from what it seems this was not Liverpool’s best performance.

Late score needed by favored Spurs scoring at 90+4’ while Wolves get their first point of the season on the road.

Red Card Impacted Match

Chelsea continue to be the most disappointing team of the season while BHA get a great win scoring twice late at 90+2’ and 90+10’ taking advantage of the red card to the blues.

Great win for Sunderland while Ange has Forest stuck in reverse.

Nice home win for Villa.

Too late for this weeks edition.

11 of 31 goals scored were scored LATE and had big impacts on outcomes.
Forest look lost, have Ange as a new manager and their former manager, Nuno, is now at West Ham. Will be interesting to see who gets it together.
Chelsea are most disappointing so far.
Palace are cooking.
How long do MU go on with Maresca.
Arsenal had a big couple of minutes to keep them in the race and got help from Palace.
Everton v West Ham is too late for this newsletter and will be added to stats next MW.
CS was one Leeds defensive stop away from a big best bets week.
