Since when did Carlo Ancelotti ever lose his cool?
Not in two seasons at Chelsea, but maybe there’s something in the water at Goodison Park.
Or he genuinely hates VAR.
One of the two.
The latter denied his Everton side what would’ve been a fine win over Manchester United.
But really the main story was happening to Everton’s Merseyside neigbours 213 miles away.
Liverpool’s ridiculous 44-game unbeaten league run came to an end, and it was Ismaila Sarr who did the damage.
And his Fantasy League stats show up a strong performer this season, despite the Hornets’ struggles.
The 22-year-old has 23 points – made up of five goals and four assists – from just 12 Fantasy League appearances this term, and his talent could help Watford secure a remarkable escape from relegation.
Jermaine Jenas asked a pertinent question this week – when was the last time Tottenham played well?
Their fortunes don’t look like improving soon either, with an unbalanced, ageing squad creaking under injuries and loss of form.
And it’s not just Spurs’ top two individual Fantasy League points scorers that are missing – Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son – but also Erik Lamela who has 12 points this campaign from just nine games.
He’s understood to have a minor niggle, so managers – swot up and consider if he might be worth a gamble as you go in search of some much-needed late-season points…
Lastly, there were some critical wins at the foot of the table.
Somehow Crystal Palace seem to be safer by the week despite barely scoring a goal all season and having the oldest squad in the league.
And David Moyes’ West Ham saw off Southampton to earn themselves a vital three points.
Jarrod Bowen opened his account for the Hammers, and if he’s given a consistent run ahead of the ineffectual Seb Haller, he could notch more goals in the remainder of the campaign.
