On Saturday, Crystal Palace won 1-0 against Middlesbrough, with Dutch full back van Aanholt bagging a goal in the 34th minute of the game on his fourth start for the Eagles. The win is a very important one for Palace because it climbs them out of the relegation zone and it gives a confidence boost to their players whose past results have been disappointing.
Another game which happened on Saturday was Everton’s 2-0 win over Sunderland where Idrissa Gueye, a summer signing from Aston Villa scored his first goal for Everton and it was a wonderful goal too as he absolutely hammered the ball into the top corner with the returning Jordan Pickford having no chance. The other goal was from Lukaku who scored his seventeenth Premier League goal of 2016/2017. Sunderland and Moyes’s loss puts them bottom of the league and piles the pressure on David Moyes after a few tactical wrongdoings in the past few game.
Also, Chelsea beat Swansea 3-1 with Chelsea’s goals coming from their main striker Diego Costa, out of favour central midfielder Cesc Fabregas and the Spanish winger Pedro. Swansea managed to get themselves back into the game through a header from Swansea striker Fernando Llorente who was linked with a possible move to Chelsea in January – but after that success, Chelsea replied in the second half with two goals.
Moving on to Sunday, Spurs got themselves back to winning ways with a 4-0 victory over Stoke. And Harry Kane starred in the game scoring a hatrick, which is something he has done already three times in 2017, and setting up Dele Alli too who redeemed himself with that goal after his red card in the week. Spurs are now second in the table and Tottenham are starting to creep up on Chelsea.
