The chelsea match ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw

They just lost points in a match they could have actually won... Even without Palmer I'm saying this if they started the match decently. But of course thankfully he came in on the pitch in the 2nd half! 

Otherwise things might have been even worse. He made a direct impact on the match. But defending wasn't their best side today I'm afraid. Additionally they missed some important goal chances too. Some near 100% chances I'm talking about!

If Palmer is not available the team lack structure or what exactly is Chelsea trying to prove. Aside the fact Chelsea played against Brentford draw, they didn’t perform as expected and I never expected a draw seeing how Chelsea started the season probably I overhyped the club thinking they will maintain same good energy. Chelsea has never lost to any team probably a draw against Brentford and Crystal Palace since when the season started, let’s hope for a better result and the team should learn how to make good moves without Cole Palmer for some certain reason relating to injury.

Arsenal took 3 points with 3 goals today.
They were the better side and showed more desire throughout the match.
Nottingham Forest is playing worse compared to last season, and I don’t think we’ll see them in the top spots this year.

Chelsea couldn’t get the 3 points they wanted against Brentford. They played well, but after conceding a late goal, the match ended 2-2 and both teams went home with a point each.

Tottenham made a strong start to the season and are continuing in good form. They beat West Ham 3-0 away from home.

Just looked at the Manchester United lineup, and I think Matheus Cunhas absence could assist Amorim in finding the right team combination after transfering in too many attack minded players in the transfer window.. hope Sesko gets more aggressive to make his mark because that position needs someone to be getting goals...

Mbeumo, I can already sense some great stuff from you.. less than an hour to go #ManchesterDerby

Anybody seeing this as low scoring

Burnley has never been an easy target for Liverpool even at their finest form, not to mention now that they're trying to regroup the team. I'm afraid Arne slot would not be able to get it right this time around against them. I've seen the resilience in an active and stubborn defense that's not even ready to let them complete a better counter shot.

Cases like this usually ends up in a 1:0/0:1 score record... But in this particular match (I don't know if my guts are taking me too far) but I feel like burnley could just score a dying-minute header or something, and the game would end that way.

[Woodie]

Thanx to the international break, Manchester City seems to have dusted off all the cobwebs and are looking sharper than ever before!!

Can't believe how Erling Haaland keeps finding it easy to find the goal and was very unlucky not to have got that brace thanks to the goal post, and looking at the body language of United players, I don't think there is a comeback that will brew from here.

And first cleansheet for Gianluigi Donnarumma in his first game 🎯

It's 62 minutes already and Chelsea has just scored an equalizing goal against Brentford in the ongoing march by Cole Palmer, making it a 1-1 draw at the moment, which is quite impressive, judging by the fact that the first half ended with 1-0 in victory for Brendford, despite Chelsea having the most ball possession and shots on target in the first half. And as now, I'm happy Chelsea has just equalize, and hoping to see Cole Palmer score more goal before the end of this game. Because if Chelsea fails to win this game, that means they stand to lose the spot of 5th place on the Premier league table to Everton, as they both has 7 points each. But however, let's watch out what the outcome of this match will be, as I pretty sure this game is likely to end in favour to Chelsea tonight.

Brentford football team played very well in the end because that team player did goal at the end of the match and he did goal at 93 minutes when it was requirement of the team and before that score of opponent team was more in this match because they did 2 goals in this match and did one sided game in this match. Schade was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 35 minutes of the match. We saw equal participation by both teams because both teams tried to did more goals in this match but no team could do more goals in this match.Chelsea football team made game in the middle of the match but could not stop end goal and opponent team got opportunity in this match.

Man city is maxing out big time... 2 goals in 35 minutes and still counting! Foden had a good opening into today's game, and it has been as easy as samba since then. I can only imagine how frustrated man united fans will be tonight. We all know they can do anything if their team losses, and tonight isn't going to be an exception.

Well for Chelsea, I think it's celebration throughout as one of their biggest rivalry in the premier League has lost woefully. A good game and a perfect counter performance from Pep Guardiola, let's hope for something better!

Although Manchester City lost two matches badly at the beginning of the season due to which they went down a lot in the points table. However, we can see that Manchester City's game has improved a lot and the team has become stronger. Today's match against Manchester United was a great win with a score of 0--3 goals, which was a really interesting game. However, Manchester United's performance in the game could not improve at all, their game is very weak. If they cannot play well and improve their performance, then at the end of the season they will be in a bad position in the points table. In today's game, Manchester United could not keep the ball in their possession for a long time, Manchester City performed well, today they attacked strongly and strongly.

Honestly this is the best performance I have seen from Manchester United in a long while and even if they did not do well in terms of the score line I think they can be proud of how they worked hard and see if that can build on that and do better.
Manchester City are on their way to getting back to the form we have always knew they had, Erling did not only show he is a proper striker he also showed great defensive skills in the beginning of the first second half.

[Agbe]

Great game for Manchester City as they made a light work over Manchester United, 3:0 win after previous disappointing games will be a nice way of coming back to winning ways. Even though this city team is still far from the team that we use to know before but am impressed about the work that pep is doing in trying to revive this city team, but as for Manchester United there is still much work to do by Amorin.

Liverpool were just lucky to get a win in the match, they got their goal during the extra time given to them in the match. Seriously i never expected Burnley to give Liverpool difficult time in the match. They really played well today, and they had a solid defense, which was just so difficult for Liverpool to break. With the way they played today, you will see that they are really here to stay, they just got promoted to the premier league, and they want to stay here, they don’t want to be relegated. They played well today, but I felt bad for them, I will have been happy if the match ended as draw, because that is what they really want.

Very disappointing from Manchester United, they couldn't even get a goal to their name. The fans were totally disappointed as we could see them leaving the stadium earlier than usual. Good game for Haaland as he got into the score sheet twice with good precision strikes to score those goals. I thought they said it's always Onana's fault each time they concede like this. His no longer in the team to take almost all the blames and I wonder who's going to be taking the blame now.

I can only imagine how frustrated man united fans will be tonight. We all know they can do anything if their team losses, and tonight isn't going to be an exception.

Manchester City is in poor form but today they just used Manchester United to get back to their good performance you can see how they scored easy goals just like they are playing a division team. Haaland and foden were on target for City and they just increased the frustration of Manchester United and her fans tonight because it wasn't the result that was expected but I guess Amorim is getting ready to leave as the losing keeps coming. United fans will not panic they will accept the lose in good fate because their team is not getting better.

[Sticky Bomb]

Manchester City took advantage of United weak defense and netted 3 goals unreponded. Doku shows his masterpiece with two assists and Haaland with 2 goals. I think Amad started from the wrong wing. If he had played from the right from the first half, there would've been more pressure on the City defense. Mbeumo tried his best in that match but there was no other player who had the mind to test Donnarounma from distance. Manchester United needs serious revival of their team, the attacking coordination is zero and defense wise, they're nothing to write home about

City giants have worked lightly in this match because today we saw that after Foden started the match brilliantly, this team was not defeated by Man United's defense. Maybe it's right that City's goal-scoring machine Erling Haaland managed to score two goals and this team earned bragging rights in the Manchester derby match today. By now everyone may have noticed that Manchester City have a new goalkeeper and this player has previously praised Erling Haaland and the player may have been able to repay that after the derby day win. Foden and the Norwegian player gave eye-catching performances in today's match, but I still think the Italian player was able to take the team forward with a strong hand against Man United.

Manchester United is no longer the team they once were, so beating them is nothing special, and for City in particular, it's not a great achievement. But they will be more motivated in their next few games. Nevertheless, I see very big differences between the City of 2-3 years ago and the City of today, and I doubt that they will be in thr fight for the title this year. Pep will probably have to leave the team without restoring them to their former dominance.

New-look Manchester clubs are going to be started in few minutes even Premier League games are never been easy to predict, but some interesting facts about Manchester derbies last derby which was played at Old Trafford in April have no goal.

Manchester derbies which played on Etihad Stadium never been had less than 3 goals mean both teams to score and over 2.5 looking interesting both will give their best for having good start after break but Manchester United looking much better due to poor run of form from Citizens.

Pepe Guardiola will try his best to overcome from last 2 defeats Amorim is also looking for stable and positive start as things are looking not favourable after their draw against Fulham and narrow win against Burnley.

[Majestic-milf]

 It was a beautiful display of superior performance from Man City. It's even better than their previous derby last season. This time around, Guardiola's city weren't ready to leave anything to chance and relax after the first goal that Phil Foden got but rather continued pushing till the second and third goal came in from Erling Haaland.
Donnarumma was able to maintain a clean sheet in his debut for his new club and even though Bryan Mbuemo's shot could have threatened to upset his record, he stretched to keep it out, proving that he's a worthy replacement for Ederson.
 I listened to the post game remarks of Ruben Amorim and he admitted that his team didn't do well but at the same tried to trace back to when they won Man City 2-1 which for me wasn't really necessary because it was like he was trying to cover for another poor derby performance.

Big ups to them Manchester City for coming back to good form with Manchester United, they have been the talk of the town since they lost their first two matches but playing against United today Haaland became unstoppable and foden was just finding everything very easy and simple. Manchester City is not far from their previous form this win today will not only boost their confidence back but it will send a strong message to their opponents that will be facing them let's wist to see them getting back to the City we used to know.

[Sticky Bomb]

I really really bad for Burnley today. They did everything in their power to share points with Liverpool until the last minute of extra time. I am not really pleased with the decision of the referee to give Ugockukwu a second yellow card for that tackle that led to his red card. Honestly that tackle didn't deserve a card, it felt like robbing and it somehow weakened their defensive prowress.  Liverpool have been lucky to be securing late winners in their last 3 matches. It was a boring match today but they somehow managed to pull off a win with the penalty kick by M. Salah
