On Saturday
Arsenal – Chelsea 3: 1
Granit Xhaka is back on the field for the first time after her choking attack and the associated ban. And what a return from our captain of the national team! Shortly before the half-time whistle, he takes a free kick from more than 20 meters at the right angle – a dream goal! Loud applause at Arsenal: With 3-0 another wonderful goal, winger Saka made it all clear after an hour. Or not? Chelsea comes back up through Abraham and even receives a penalty. Jorginho fails, remains at 3: 1. After the last seven league games without a win, the “Gunners” return to victory in the London derby of all places. A very strong game from Xhaka and Co., aside from the finals, there is surprisingly little of the Chelsea opponent on this boxing day.
The objectives: 34. Lacazette (Penalty) 1: 0, 44. Xhaka 2: 0, 56. Saka 3: 0, 85. Abraham 3: 1.
Leicester – Manchester United 2: 2
Christmas food seems digested. The two teams make a fiery appearance. Here it is played very well from the beginning. Goes and comes. First the guests take the lead, a little later Leicester equalizes again. Same game in the second half: ManUtd goes ahead, the locals come back from Tuanzebe’s own goal. The division of points is perfectly fine. Both teams continue on the heels of leader Liverpool.
The objectives: 23. Rashford 0-1, 31. Barnes 1-1, 79. Fernandes 1-2, 85. Tuanzebe (own goal) 2-2.
Aston Villa – Crystal Palace 3: 0
Turbulent start phase at Villa Park! He did not play a minute before Palace-Zaha appeared ahead of the locals. However, the forward fails on the goalkeeper. A few laps of the pointer later he takes his revenge: Traoré does better than Zaha and puts the Villans in the lead. In an entertaining game, both teams reward some top-class players, the guests even outnumbered Mings for the entire second half after yellow-red. Still, it is the home team that scores goals two and three to reach the final score. With the triple, Aston Villa surpassed big names like Tottenham and Manchester City in the table and is now in sixth place.
The objectives: 5. Traore 1: 0, 66. Hause 2: 0, 76. El-Ghazi 3: 0.
Fulham – Southampton 0: 0
Southampton hits twice in the opposite area; twice the hit does not count for offside. So he is left with a tired zero that does not help either team in the table.
