Premier League 2024-25 GW17 Review

Everton 0 - 0 Chelsea

Goodison Park
Sun 22 December 2024

Chelsea missed the opportunity to move top of the Premier League as they were held to a goalless draw by a resilient Everton at Goodison Park. Despite dominating possession, Enzo Maresca’s side struggled to break down Sean Dyche’s well-drilled defence.

Nicolas Jackson squandered two golden chances in the first half, first denied by Jordan Pickford and later by the woodwork. Everton, playing their first match under new owners The Friedkin Group, threatened late on, with Robert Sanchez making key saves and Tosin Adarabioyo producing a crucial block to deny Iliman Ndiaye.

The result keeps Chelsea in second, two points behind Liverpool, who face Tottenham later. Everton move up to 15th, four points clear of the relegation zone, buoyed by consecutive clean sheets against top sides.

Chelsea’s five-match winning streak ends as they prepare for a west London derby against Fulham on Boxing Day, while Everton head to Manchester City with growing confidence.

Fulham 0 - 0 Southampton

Craven Cottage
Sun 22 December 2024

Southampton secured a valuable 0-0 draw against Fulham in their first Premier League outing since Russell Martin’s departure. Despite the hosts dominating possession, the Saints, under interim manager Simon Rusk, produced a resilient defensive display, with Aaron Ramsdale making key saves in front of new boss Ivan Juric, who watched from the stands.

Fulham’s best chance came in the 67th minute when Harry Wilson’s close-range strike was denied by Ramsdale. Adama Traore went close late on, but Southampton held firm to claim their first point in six matches.

The result keeps Southampton rooted to the bottom of the table with six points from 17 games, while Fulham remain ninth, missing the chance to climb to seventh. Both sides now look ahead to Boxing Day fixtures, with Fulham hosting Chelsea and Southampton welcoming West Ham in Juric’s managerial debut.

Leicester 0 - 3 Wolves

King Power Stadium
Sun 22 December 2024

Wolverhampton Wanderers made a sensational start under new manager Vitor Pereira, claiming a commanding 3-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Pereira’s Premier League debut not only marked Wolves’ first-ever top-flight win at the venue but also lifted them off the bottom of the table.

First-half goals from Goncalo Guedes, Rodrigo Gomes, and Matheus Cunha gave Wolves a comfortable lead in a Midlands derby that pitted two of the league’s bottom four sides against each other. Leicester, managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, struggled to respond, suffering their first home defeat under the Dutchman.

The win moves Wolves up to 18th, two points behind 17th-placed Leicester, with Pereira’s side now looking ahead to tougher challenges, including matches against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United 0 - 3 Bournemouth

Old Trafford
Sun 22 December 2024

AFC Bournemouth delivered a statement victory at Old Trafford, thumping Manchester United 3-0 to climb to fifth place in the Premier League. The Cherries extended their unbeaten run to five matches with a performance full of discipline and attacking flair, leaving Ruben Amorim’s side languishing in 13th.

Dean Huijsen’s towering header opened the scoring in the 29th minute, exposing United’s persistent set-piece vulnerabilities. Justin Kluivert then doubled Bournemouth’s lead from the penalty spot after Noussair Mazraoui’s rash challenge, and Antoine Semenyo added a third just two minutes later, capping a whirlwind period for the visitors.

This historic loss marks the first time United will spend Christmas in the bottom half of the table during the Premier League era. Bournemouth, meanwhile, are just three points off the top four and heading into the festive period with dreams of European qualification.

Tottenham Hotspur 3 - 6 Liverpool

Sun 22 December 2024

Liverpool surged to a commanding four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with an exhilarating 6-3 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With Chelsea’s earlier draw at Everton leaving the door ajar, Liverpool emphatically seized their opportunity, delivering a performance full of attacking brilliance.

Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai netted for the visitors in the first half, with James Maddison offering Spurs a glimmer of hope. Mohamed Salah then scored twice early in the second half, cementing his place as a Liverpool legend. Despite late efforts from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke, Diaz sealed the win with a fifth goal in the 85th minute.

Liverpool’s dominant display ensures they will top the table at Christmas for the first time since the 2020/21 season, while Spurs, now 11th, face mounting pressure ahead of a tricky Boxing Day clash with Nottingham Forest.

Aston Villa 2 - 1 Manchester City

Villa Park
Sat 21 December 2024

Morgan Rogers was the star as Aston Villa claimed a crucial 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Villa Park. The former City player set up Jhon Duran’s first-half opener before scoring a superb solo goal in the 65th minute to secure all three points.

Villa started strongly, with John McGinn creating an early chance for Duran, whose shot was saved by Stefan Ortega. Ortega made another crucial stop to deny Pau Torres, but Villa eventually broke through when Rogers set up Duran to fire home.

In the second half, Rogers showcased his strength and composure, driving from his own half and finishing clinically after a one-two with McGinn. Though Phil Foden pulled one back in stoppage time with his first league goal of the season, City couldn’t recover.

Erling Haaland struggled for service, and City’s defense was exposed too easily. With this win, Villa leapfrogged City into fifth, while Guardiola’s side, now 11 points off leaders Liverpool, must regroup ahead of their Boxing Day clash with Everton.

Brentford 0 - 2 Nottingham Forest

Gtech Community Stadium
Sat 21 December 2024

Nottingham Forest ended Brentford’s unbeaten Premier League home record with an impressive 2-0 win at the Gtech Community Stadium. Goals from Ola Aina and Anthony Elanga secured Forest’s fifth away win of the season, leaving Brentford stuck in 12th place.

Brentford started brightly, with Mikkel Damsgaard and Yoane Wissa testing Forest early, but the visitors struck first in the 38th minute. Neco Williams set up Aina, whose precise finish gave Forest the lead. Shortly after the break, Elanga capitalized on Keane Lewis-Potter’s error, cutting inside to score a composed second.

Despite Kristoffer Ajer’s close-range effort being denied by Matz Sels, Brentford struggled to create clear opportunities. Nuno Espirito Santo’s tactical adjustments shone through as Forest’s dynamic wing play from Aina and Williams caused Brentford problems throughout.

Forest’s disciplined display ensured their place in the top four heading into Christmas, while Brentford will aim to bounce back in tough upcoming fixtures against Brighton and Arsenal.

Ipswich Town 0 - 4 Newcastle

Portman Road
Sat 21 December 2024

Alexander Isak’s hat-trick, including Newcastle United’s fastest-ever away goal in the Premier League, helped the Magpies thrash Ipswich Town 4-0 at Portman Road. Isak’s early volley, followed by goals from Jacob Murphy and Isak again before halftime, put Newcastle in control. Murphy assisted Isak for his third after the break, and despite more chances, the scoreline remained unchanged.

The win moves Newcastle to seventh in the Premier League, just four points from the top four, while Ipswich remain 18th. Isak’s stunning form continues with 10 goals for the season, and Murphy has contributed three goals and three assists in his last five league games.

Ipswich’s defensive frailty, particularly in conceding sloppy goals, leaves them struggling at home with only one win from nine matches. Their poor form threatens their survival chances, especially with tough upcoming fixtures against top teams like Arsenal and Manchester City.

West Ham 1 - 1 Brighton

London Stadium
Sat 21 December 2024

Mohammed Kudus scored a crucial equalizer for West Ham United in their 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, extending the Hammers’ winless run at home against Brighton in the Premier League to eight matches. West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was pivotal in securing the point, producing a fantastic save in stoppage time to deny Brighton’s Yasin Ayari from close range.

The result leaves both teams unchanged in the Premier League standings. West Ham remain 14th with 20 points, while Brighton stay ninth, unable to capitalize on a chance to move into the top six after their winless streak stretched to five matches.

The match was a slow burner, with both teams failing to break the deadlock in the first half. Brighton took the lead early in the second half through Pascal Wieffer’s volley, but West Ham responded quickly with Kudus scoring from a rebound after Jarrod Bowen’s initial shot was parried. Brighton wasted several late chances, with Kaoru Mitoma hitting the post and Fabianski making key saves to preserve the draw. West Ham will look to bounce back with a Boxing Day trip to Southampton, while Brighton’s winless run continues as they return home to face Brentford next Friday.

Crystal Palace 1 - 5 Arsenal

Selhurst Park
Sat 21 December 2024

Gabriel Jesus was the star of the show once again as Arsenal delivered a dominant 5-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, bouncing back in style in the Premier League. After a midweek hat-trick in the EFL Cup, Jesus scored a brace on Saturday, opening the scoring in the sixth minute and then putting the Gunners back ahead after Ismaila Sarr’s equalizer. His header off the post led to Kai Havertz’s tap-in, giving Arsenal a 3-1 lead before halftime.

Arsenal’s goalkeeper David Raya played a key role, making critical saves to keep Palace at bay. Gabriel Martinelli extended Arsenal’s lead early in the second half, before Declan Rice added a stunning fifth in the 84th minute. Arsenal climb back to third in the league, three points behind leaders Liverpool, while Palace remain 15th.

Despite the dominant win, the joy was tempered by an injury to Bukayo Saka, who limped off in the first half with a potential hamstring issue. The victory also ended a long goal drought for Jesus, who had not scored in the league since January, and he was instrumental in Arsenal’s emphatic return to form after recent draws.

While Arsenal were clinical in attack, Palace had their moments, with Sarr’s excellent strike leveling the game and Raya making several crucial saves, particularly from Sarr early in the second half. The Eagles struggled to regain momentum after Martinelli’s goal, and without the injured Eberechi Eze, they couldn’t mount a comeback. Palace will aim to recover when they visit Bournemouth on Boxing Day, as they seek to bounce back from a disappointing defeat.
