Premier League Saturday wrapped up – Ziyech and Eze steal the show

Bouncing back to winning ways in style thanks to a stellar performance by Eberechi Eze.

A goal from a free-kick and an assist from a corner, add that to many dribbles in open play, you got yourself the Man of the Match, Eberechi Eze.

Yes, a lot of luck with an own goal in the mix, as well as us having to add this one to the controversial fixtures list thanks to VAR, yet, it was always going to be Palace’s day after scoring a fourfold of goals past Leed’s weak defence.

Roy Hodgson and his boys move back into the top half in seventh, six places up from being 13th before Matchday 8 kicked off. Marcelo Bielsa’s and his Whites plunge into 15th place and must enjoy the company until we return from the international break. But deservedly so.

They become the worst conceding teams after eight matches with 17 goals conceded this term. They’ve conceded more than what they have scored (14 goals).

Entertaining yes! But playing entertaining football doesn’t always win you games if your defence is shipping in eight goals over the course of 180 minutes of football played.

Only two clean sheets this season are far from satisfying but they now have the international break to improve on things at the back.
