Premier League 2024-25 GW19 Review

Brentford 1 - 3 Arsenal

Gtech Community Stadium
Wed 01 January 2025

Arsenal began 2025 with a strong 3-1 comeback win over Brentford on New Year’s Day, moving up to second in the Premier League table. Despite going behind early, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring his 11th league goal of the season for the Bees, the Gunners responded impressively.

Gabriel Jesus equalized just before the half-hour mark, heading in from close range after a parried shot from Thomas Partey. The second half saw Arsenal take control, with two goals in three minutes securing the win. Mikel Merino scored from a set-piece routine, and Gabriel Martinelli added a brilliant third after controlling a clearance from Nathan Collins.

The win lifts Arsenal to within six points of leaders Liverpool, while Brentford remains in 12th place, struggling with four consecutive winless games. Brentford’s defensive mistakes proved costly, as they failed to clear their lines, allowing Jesus, Merino, and Martinelli to capitalize on the errors.

Arsenal’s performance was a statement of intent as they continue their pursuit of the title. Mikel Arteta’s decision to start teenager Ethan Nwaneri paid off, with his corner leading to Merino’s goal and his assist setting up Martinelli’s strike. The Gunners now look ahead to their upcoming match against Brighton, determined to keep the pressure on Liverpool.

Aston Villa 2 - 2 Brighton

Mon 30 December 2024
Tariq Lamptey’s late goal secured Brighton & Hove Albion a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on Monday, despite an early lead. Simon Adingra gave Brighton the lead in the 12th minute, but Villa responded with two goals—Ollie Watkins converting a penalty and Morgan Rogers scoring early in the second half.

Brighton fought back, and with less than 10 minutes remaining, Lamptey equalized, drilling a low shot past Villa’s Emiliano Martinez.

Villa, aiming for a Champions League spot, will be frustrated to drop points at home. They had been unbeaten in eight home games but couldn’t hold their lead. Watkins, in for the suspended Jhon Duran, scored and assisted Rogers, but Villa couldn’t finish the job.

Brighton, now without a win in seven matches, showed resilience, particularly after Fabian Hurzeler’s attacking substitutions. Despite their wait for a win continuing, Brighton remain close to the European spots ahead of their next match against Arsenal.

Ipswich Town 2 - 0 Chelsea

Portman Road
Mon 30 December 2024

Ipswich Town stunned Chelsea with a 2-0 win at Portman Road, securing their first home victory of the Premier League season. Liam Delap starred, winning and converting a penalty in the 12th minute before setting up Omari Hutchinson for a goal early in the second half. Joao Felix had a first-half equalizer disallowed for offside after a VAR review, while Chelsea struggled with profligate finishing and defensive mistakes.

Ipswich climbed to 18th in the table, one point behind Wolves, while Chelsea’s third consecutive winless match left them fourth. Delap’s all-around performance and Hutchinson’s smart finish gave Ipswich the breathing room to hold onto their memorable victory.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca made four changes, rotating his squad, but Jorgensen’s early error and missed chances, including a disallowed Felix goal, proved costly. Despite a promising display from Joao Felix, Chelsea’s defense and lack of clinical finishing led to another disappointing result, leaving Maresca with questions ahead of their trip to Crystal Palace.

Manchester United 0 - 2 Newcastle United

Mon 30 December 2024

Newcastle United claimed a 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, securing their fourth consecutive Premier League win. Alexander Isak and Joelinton’s first-half headers kept the Magpies in fifth, while condemning Manchester United to a third straight league defeat.

Isak opened the scoring in the fourth minute from a Lewis Hall cross, and Joelinton doubled the lead shortly after. Although Manchester United improved in the second half, with Harry Maguire hitting the post, Newcastle never looked in danger of losing their advantage. The win moved Newcastle three points behind Chelsea, while United remained 14th.

Despite United’s improvement after substitutions, including Kobbie Mainoo for Joshua Zirkzee, the damage was done in the first half. Amorim’s side struggled with Newcastle’s dominance in midfield and failed to respond to their two early goals. The Red Devils are now in their lowest position at the turn of the year in Premier League history, facing a tough upcoming schedule with matches against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Newcastle, on the other hand, maintained their strong form, with Isak scoring in a sixth consecutive match and Joelinton finding the net for the second straight game. The Magpies were unlucky not to add more, with Sandro Tonali hitting the post. Defensively solid, they recorded their fourth straight win, remaining unbeaten and looking to continue their momentum in 2025 with an upcoming trip to Tottenham.

Leicester City 0 - 2 Manchester City

King Power Stadium
Sun 29 December 2024

Manchester City secured a 2-0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, with Savinho and Erling Haaland scoring to get the visitors back to winning ways in the Premier League. The victory marked Pep Guardiola’s 500th game in charge of City, although it was far from a dominant performance.

Savinho scored his first goal for the club in the 21st minute, capitalizing on a rebound from a Phil Foden shot, before providing an assist for Haaland’s header in the 74th minute, sealing the three points. Leicester created several chances, but their finishing let them down. Jamie Vardy missed a crucial opportunity when he sliced over, and Facundo Buonanotte’s header hit the post.

Leicester’s defense was vulnerable throughout, but they were unable to capitalize on their chances. Despite a few flashes of brilliance, including Haaland’s runs and Bernardo Silva’s assist, City struggled to impose themselves on the game. Guardiola’s team earned only their second win in 14 matches across all competitions, but the result was more important than the performance.

Leicester remain 18th in the table, continuing their poor run of form with four consecutive league defeats. They created plenty of chances, particularly through Vardy, Buonanotte, and Bilal El Khannouss, but failed to find the net. The Foxes will be disappointed not to have taken anything from the match, with a difficult trip to Aston Villa up next.

Crystal Palace 2 - 1 Southampton

Selhurst Park
Sun 29 December 2024

Eberechi Eze’s second-half winner helped Crystal Palace secure a 2-1 victory over Southampton at Selhurst Park. Southampton took an early lead through Tyler Dibling, but Palace equalized before halftime with Trevoh Chalobah’s header. Eze’s powerful strike seven minutes into the second half put Palace ahead, and they held on for the win.

The result lifts Palace to 15th in the table, while Southampton remain bottom with just one win and six points. Despite a shaky start and some missed chances, Palace controlled the game, with Eze and Ismalia Sarr among the standout performers. Southampton showed promise early on but struggled to contain Palace’s attacking pressure and conceded two soft goals.

For Palace, the win marks a positive end to 2024, and manager Oliver Glasner will hope for continued improvement in the new year. Southampton, under new manager Ivan Juric, face a crucial home match against Brentford as they battle to avoid relegation.

Everton 0 - 2 Nottingham Forest

Goodison Park
Sun 29 December 2024

Nottingham Forest secured a 2-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, moving into second place in the Premier League. This marks Forest’s fifth consecutive top-flight win, their first such streak since 1995. Chris Wood opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a clinical finish, and Morgan Gibbs-White doubled the lead just after the hour, with Wood providing the assist. Despite late pressure from Everton, Jordan Pickford’s saves kept the scoreline at 2-0.

The win temporarily puts Forest above Chelsea and Arsenal in the standings, while Everton remain 16th. Everton had some early chances but were undone by Forest’s compact defense and efficient attack. A defensive mix-up led to Gibbs-White’s decisive goal, and although Everton pushed forward with substitutes Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto, they couldn’t break down Forest’s resolute defense.

Forest, having already surpassed last season’s points total, continued their impressive form. They face Wolverhampton Wanderers next, while Everton will aim to bounce back in their 2025 opener against AFC Bournemouth.

Fulham 2 - 2 Bournemouth

Craven Cottage
Sun 29 December 2024

Dango Ouattara’s 89th-minute equalizer earned AFC Bournemouth a 2-2 draw at Fulham on Sunday, extending both teams’ unbeaten runs to seven matches. Fulham had taken the lead through Harry Wilson’s header in the 72nd minute, but Ouattara’s cool chip over Bernd Leno salvaged a point for the visitors in the dying moments.

The match saw Bournemouth dominate early, with David Brooks and Antoine Semenyo testing Leno. However, Fulham struck first when Raul Jimenez scored from a corner just before halftime. Bournemouth responded quickly in the second half, with Evanilson leveling the score after a long ball found him behind the defense. Despite Fulham regaining the lead through Wilson’s header, Bournemouth’s persistence paid off, with Ouattara’s late goal securing a deserved draw.

Bournemouth remain sixth, one point ahead of Fulham, who are in eighth. Both teams will continue to push for European spots, with Fulham aiming to extend their unbeaten run against Ipswich Town next weekend and Bournemouth seeking to bounce back against Everton.

Tottenham Hotspur 2 -2 Wolves

Sun 29 December 2024

Jorgen Strand Larsen’s late equalizer helped Wolverhampton Wanderers extend Vitor Pereira’s unbeaten start to three matches, earning a 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur. The result adds more pressure on Spurs’ head coach, Ange Postecoglou, as his team remains winless in their last three league games.

Wolves took the lead early with a well-executed free-kick, as Hwang Hee-chan fired home from the edge of the box. Tottenham responded quickly, with Rodrigo Bentancur heading in an equalizer from a corner. Despite a missed penalty from Son Heung-min, Spurs took the lead just before halftime through Brennan Johnson, who scored after being awarded the penalty.

However, after Matheus Cunha was forced off with an injury, Strand Larsen, who replaced him at halftime, latched onto a pass from Rayan Ait-Nouri and netted an equalizer in the 87th minute. The draw leaves Tottenham 11th in the table, while Wolves remain just above the relegation zone in 17th.

Postecoglou’s side, despite an encouraging response to their early deficit, couldn’t hold onto their lead. They suffered another blow when Destiny Udogie limped off early in the second half, and defensive lapses allowed Strand Larsen to strike late. Wolves, on the other hand, were solid in attack but continue to have issues with set-piece defending. Pereira will need to address those as they host Nottingham Forest next.

West Ham 0 - 5 Liverpool

London Stadium
Thu 26 December 2024

Liverpool extended their Premier League lead to eight points with a commanding 5-0 victory over West Ham at London Stadium. The Reds dominated from start to finish, with goals from Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah leaving West Ham stunned by halftime. After the break, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s deflected shot and a late Diogo Jota strike completed the rout.

Liverpool’s early pressure paid off when Diaz scored on the half-hour mark, followed by Gakpo’s tap-in from Salah’s assist just two minutes later. Salah added his own goal in the 44th minute, curling home his 17th league goal of the season. West Ham’s defense had no answer, and despite a spirited effort from Mohammed Kudus, the Hammers couldn’t stop the Reds from cruising to victory.

Salah’s assist for Jota’s fifth goal underscored his impressive form, as he became the first player in Premier League history to record both a goal and an assist in eight different games in a single season. For West Ham, the defeat compounded their frustrations, with Jarrod Bowen suffering an injury and their defense being overwhelmed. They will now turn their focus to an upcoming clash with Manchester City.

With the win, Liverpool heads into 2025 with a commanding lead, while West Ham sits 13th and faces a tough challenge ahead.
