It was a rollercoaster weekend in the English Premier League that saw Chelsea FC lose the first spot and their 15 game unbeaten streak in their loss to West Ham FC and move down to third on the table. It was a hard-fought match-up with Chelsea giving up the lead twice before finally being sucker-punched by an unlikely goal by West Ham defender Mishuaka that before that game hardly finds the net. Liverpool might have also had a difficult game and even almost settled for a draw but for the heroics of Divock Origi in the final minutes of the game to see them move ahead of Chelsea and occupy the second spot. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp described the goal scorer as a legend and foresaw books and odes written in his honour when his playing days are over. In my opinion, I think it was the excitement of winning that made him have huge praises for the striker that rarely gets playing time.

Manchester City were the real winners this weekend with a convincing win over in-form Watford FC. The game ended 3 goals to one in favour of Manchester City but could have easily been a more embarrassing scoreline had it not been for the Watford keeper Daniel Bachmann that saved their blushes for as long as he could. Portuguese International Bernando Silva was in fine form, scoring two expertly taken goals with the second easily a contender for goal of the week. Man City manager Pep Guardiola was full of praise for his team, saying that their performance on the day showed a very high standard.
Silva's spectacular second goal
Manchester United was able to scrape out a win against Crystal Palace while Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa were in fine form against Leicester who are presently managed by the Liverpool legend's former boss Brendan Rogers. Tottenham continued in their fine form under Antonio Conte beating Norwich three goals to nil and Leeds Patrick Bamford returned from injury to help his team draw against Brentford. Arsenal would take on Everton on Monday night for the final game of the gameweek.

The results this weekend has made it clear that the premier league race this season is probably going to be a 3 man race with Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea all showing no signs of losing grip of the title just yet.

Lewis Hamilton Wins Inaugural Saudi Arabia Grand Prix Contentiously

It was the penultimate race of the season in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and the emotions in the arena was fever pitch as it could be the decider of the 2021 F1 championship. Defending Champion Lewis Hamilton who races for Mercedes who was in pole position was up against Red Bull's Max Verstappen for the 2021 title, and only eight race points separated them before the race.

The race in Saudi Arabia was arguably the most dramatic Grand Prix we have experienced in years. The race was stopped twice, featured three starts and had an extraordinary series of events between the title contenders.

Hamilton won despite crashing into the back of Verstappen at one point during a race in which the Dutchman twice had to cede a position to the Mercedes driver that he had gained illegally.

Hamilton eventually won the race, making him tie with Verstappen on points going into the final race. Although, Verstappen still holds the top position on the leader board owing to his 9 first-place finishes compared to Hamilton's 8, the title is far from won and would be settled next weekend.

The 2021 season goes to its final race in Qatar next week to finally conclude who would win the top spot this year and as always I pray that the best man (Lewis Hamilton) wins.

Thank you very much for stopping by

Would be a lot more careful in the future, thank you very much. I have taken down the Leo tag and would be a lot more careful in my selection of pictures.

Is it okay to get pictures off Twitter? Because Twitter seems to be a very interesting spot to get pictures.
