Thomas Tuchel on Ollie Watkins' injury: "He is okay. It was a clear goal for him normally, but he crashed into the post. It was very painful, but as I understand it now, it is only painful. So, no harm done."

Easiest decision of the weekend.

Matt Lynch @mattlyynch.bsky.social · 5d

It's a red card every single day of the week. Dumbfounded how VAR hasn't looked at it let alone it being slap bang in front of the referee.

The referee let play go on for a good 15+ seconds before blowing up for a head injury too.

Total ineptitude.

Don't underestimate that win. That game was every bit as tough as Villa had planned for it to be and they stood up to it brilliantly.

Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres excellent together. Emi Buendía doing his thing. Marco Bizot epic.

Well bloody done.

Elliott might have a long way to go to win Emery over by the looks of it. I'd be resting Rogers and starting Elliott but I'd have done that weeks ago, what do I know?
