Escaped with a point!

A tale of two halves in the last match’s 2-2 draw vs Bournemouth. The boys dominated the 1st half of the match and took a early lead from a wonderful pass by Nicolas Jackson to Cole Palmer who cheekily faked out the keeper to slot in the goal making it 1-0. But we have seen this before, where only one goal was not enough to take the victory. Chance after chance were missed by Enzo Fernandez, Nicholas Jackson along with some wonderful saves by Bournemouth’s keeper, Mark Travers holding the lead to only one at the break.

In the 2nd half, Bournemouth pressed immediately and won a penalty from a turnover by Romeo Lavia that was compounded by a Moises Caicedo foul on Antonio Semenyo in the box. Justin Kluivert converted the penalty making it level at 1-1. Changes were make to try and slow Bournemouth’s press but to no avail as Semenyo thumped in a 2nd goal making it 2-1. Desperation hit the boys late as they attacked but could not get a goal to even the score, until a late free kick by none other than Reece James, who saves the match with a wonderful goal in the dying minutes to end in a 2-2 draw. The boys are fighting hard and trying to stay in the mix for a top 4 finish, but their legs have been looking heavy of late and Enzo Maresca is going to have to work some magic to get them firing again to win matches.

Up next, they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge, who were beaten 2-6 at Molineux earlier this season by the lads are still near bottom of the table and with an care taker manager trying to fight off relegation. It will be a good opportunity to the boys to get back to their winning ways, but it will not be easy.

Come down to the Londoner Addison this Monday afternooon and kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,
