As reported by the Mirror and The Guardian, it’s now understood that Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of the passengers on board a helicopter that crashed outside King Power Stadium on Saturday following Leicester’s 1-1 draw with West Ham United.
If you’re familiar with Western mythology, you’ve probably heard of the story of Moses parting the seas while escaping Egypt. This Roberto Pereyra goal vs Huddersfield Town on Saturday had a similar feel, with the defense of the Terriers refusing to step into the path of the Watford winger to score the opening goal of a 3-0 rout.
Watch as Pereyra weaves his way through the entirety of the Huddersfield defense, which falls over itself trying to get out of his way — typically the opposite approach defenders should take, but who are we to judge.
Earlier this year, I wrote about how Liverpool would win the Premier League because of one gorgeous pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold and a brilliant piece of control from Mo Salah in a five-second span.
That was, looking back, complete rubbish.
The real reason Liverpool will win the Premier League is because of this Roberto Firmino pass against Cardiff on Saturday.
Did you watch the goal above? He does that more often than most, doesn’t he? With his languid, cerebral, hyper technical, pass-first-shoot-later style, Mesut Ozil scores sublime goals that ooze sensibility and ease but register a 10/10 on the difficulty scale.
As a Newcastle fan, I can instantly remember the times he’s done as much to the Premier League’s current cellar dwellers. Last December, he looped an audacious effort into the roof of the net when the danger seemed to be cleared.
