New Delhi: The matchweek 14 finally comes to an end, and this congestion of fixtures will bring the Premier League action back this weekend, Saturday onwards. However, the game wekk ended with two exciting results that saw Fulham taking the charge against a very confident Brighton side, while AFC Bournemouth completely dominating Tottenham Hotspur at Vitality stadium.
It was truly a mesmerising result for the triumphant teams while for the other two, it was a massive slip as they failed to capitalise and make the most out of these fixtures. This loss against Bournemouth meant that Tottenham slipped down to 10th while their opponents moved up to ninth. Meanwhile, Brighton’s European hopes took a hit after that performance against Fulham, as now the Cottagers are breathing down the Seagulls’ neck at sixth.

At Craven Cottage, Alex Iwobi’s double puts Fulham up to sixth place in the Premier League following a spectacular three-point victory over a determined Brighton team. Although the match was played in terrible weather with a lot of rain and wind, the hosts took an unexpected early lead thanks to a mistake made by Bart Verbruggen.
When the former Arsenal midfielder caught the Dutchman’s short pass, he made no mistake and slid the ball into an empty net. However, the Seagulls came back in the second half and earned an equalizer through a brilliant strike from Baleba, but Matt O’Riley’s own goal and Iwobi’s second goal of the game gave the Cottagers the victory. Despite the loss, Brighton had the better number of chances throughout the game and now they are up against the Foxes, Leicester while Fulham will be facing an unforgiving Arsenal side in the next matchday of Premier League.

With a 1-0 victory at home against the London team, Bournemouth moves up to ninth place in the Premier League, and it could have been even more. Spurs were the superior team at the beginning of the match, and Solanke blew a fantastic opportunity to put his old team ahead. Shortly after, Huijsen reached the back post to meet Tavernier’s corner, punishing him for the miss.
He put Bournemouth in control of the game by heading past Forster to give the home club a 1-0 lead before 20 minutes. The score was 1-0 at halftime after Bournemouth’s second goal was disallowed just before the interval. Tottenham returned with the same starting lineup and the same drab showing as the first half. As Bournemouth persisted in their attack, VAR chalked off another goal because Evanilson was offside. Son came on for Spurs, but he was unable to keep onside before putting the ball in the net, so Bournemouth still had the lead.
Tottenham never truly seemed like they were going to bother Kepa in goal, and they lost rightfully, but the home team may have felt the room for improvement after the number of mistakes they made.
It was an exciting end to the game week 14, as both Fulham and Bournemouth came up with huge wins. Let’s have a look at how things went before heading match week 15. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
