It was a case of watching the same movie over and over. In the States we call it “Groundhog Day.” Arsenal takes the lead, Arsenal loses the lead, Arsenal ends with a disappointing draw. That’s 13 draws in all competitions this season, including 11 draws in 23 Premier League games….
Manchester City is now the leader on top of the Premier League table following Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Burnley. City leads Arsenal on the table by scoring 3 more goals in league play.
On Wednesday, Burnley was relegated back to the Championship joining previously dropping Wolves. One relegation spot remains to be filled.
Chelsea has sacked manager Liam Rosenior just three months into his six-year contract. No replacement has been named.
