Edinson Cavani

On Sunday in the Premier League Chelsea faced London Rivals Tottenham Hotspurs with the winner set to finish 1st at the end of this matchweek. The Hype of the game didn't live up to the original expectations as they played out a goalless draw at the Bridge. Both had chances but just couldn't take it. Due to this Result, Spurs remained on 1st ahead of Liverpool on Goal Difference due to the Reds dropping points on Saturday.

However there was one game which turned out to be enjoyable. Manchester United completed a stunning comeback to stun Southampton away. They won the game in their old classical way of "Fergie Time" named after their Legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson when United won 4-3 against City in the 95th minute in a classic derby match in 2009.

Southampton had a habit of punishing United on set pieces. Once again they did that when Jan Bednarek made it 1-0 through a corner from Ward-Prowse. Ward-Prowse then made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute through a free kick. 

Though As seen over the years it is not over until it's over. Summer Signing Edinson Cavani came on as a substitute in the 46th minute. He had an instant impact as he setted up Bruno Fernandes in the 59th minute to start the comeback. In the 74th minute, he guided a deflected shot to make it 2-2 and in the injury time or "Fergie Time", Cavani got his second of the game after Marcus Rashford crossed in a free kick and he headed it in to make it 3-2.

In the late fixture, Arsenal worries continued as they lost 2-1 to Wolves at the Emirates. All goals came in the first half which looked to have been overshadowed by the injury to Wolves striker Raul Jimenez after his clash of heads with Arsenal Defender David Luiz that left him unconscious and was rushed to the hospital. Reports today say that he is comfortable after an operation and is being monitored now.
