Premier League thrills while Dr Tottenham leaves it late: Football Weekly Extra – podcast

A thrilling Premier League matchday came to a close, with Newcastle United and Leeds United engaging in an electrifying seven-goal encounter that had fans on the edge of their seats. As the clock ticked down, all hope seemed lost for the home team, but Antoine Semenyo scored the winning goal in stoppage time, sending the crowd into raptures.

Meanwhile, at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's Liam Rosenior was left red-faced as he watched his side concede another unwanted red card. The veteran defender saw a straight red after a hair-pulling incident with an opponent, further exacerbating Chelsea's already dire defensive woes.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United's 2-1 draw against Burnley may have been seen as a modest result, but it was a welcome lifeline for the Red Devils in their pursuit of top-four credentials. In contrast, Manchester City dropped valuable points, leaving them struggling to maintain their position at the top of the table.

In other news, Everton's manager Rafa Benitez has found himself on the receiving end of heated criticism from some fans after a contentious decision during his team's match against Brentford. The Bees' 1-0 win was a significant boost to their top-six hopes, while Brentford continues to surge up the table, currently sitting fifth.

As always, Football Weekly Extra offers an entertaining and insightful analysis of the weekend's action, so tune in for more on this and other pressing football topics.
 
Ugh that Semenyo guy is a genius 🤯! I mean I know he's scored some crucial goals before but to score in stoppage time like that? Mind blown! 😲 Newcastle was literally on the ropes and then BAM, instant hero status for him. And on a side note, I'm so over Chelsea's defensive struggles 🙄 Rosenior just had to go and get himself sent off, what a waste of talent. And Manchester City's point drop is getting me worried about their title chances... do they still have it in them? 💔
 
What a thrilling turn of events at the Premier League! 🤯 The drama that unfolded was nothing short of captivating, with Newcastle's late winner still sending shivers down my spine 😱. However, I couldn't help but think that Chelsea's woes run far deeper than just Rosenior's hair-pulling escapade - their defensive vulnerability is a pressing concern that needs to be addressed pronto 🤦‍♂️.

And while Manchester United's draw was a welcome relief, it also highlights the team's inconsistencies. Can they truly sustain this form for 90 minutes without relying on individual brilliance? Only time will tell 🕰️. Meanwhile, Brentford's surge up the table is certainly worth keeping an eye on - their attacking prowess could prove to be a thorn in the side of top-four hopefuls 🔥.

As for Rafa Benitez's decision, I think it's essential to remember that managerial decisions are rarely easy and often come with consequences. Still, it's crucial for fans to remain calm and considerate when voicing their opinions - after all, the beautiful game is meant to be enjoyed by all 😊.
 
Ugh, can't even a 7-goal match not get me hyped... and then to see Chelsea just gift another red card? I mean, I've seen some rough stuff on the pitch before, but Liam Rosenior's hair-pulling incident takes the cake. Either he's got some serious issues or he just wants to give away free pens 🤦‍♂️.

And those Blues gotta figure out their defense ASAP. It's like they're trying to set a new record for most goals conceded in a season. Not looking good, mate. 👎
 
🤦‍♂️ I mean, what a game at Newcastle's place, right? 7 goals and all hope seems lost... yeah, sounds about right for their team 🙄. But hey, a winner from the bench in stoppage time is always exciting, even if it was just because they needed to tie up loose ends ⏰.

Chelsea's defense is just... well, you know how that goes 😳. I'm pretty sure Liam Rosenior's hair-pulling skills are being studied by some top teams already 🤣. And Burnley? Nice draw for Man U, but 2-1 against Burnley isn't exactly setting the Premier League ablaze 🔥.

And Everton... well, Rafa knows what he's doing, right? Controversial decisions and all that jazz 😏. Still, Bees' fans must be thrilled to see Brentford flying high 🦅. On to something better, I guess! 👍
 
Ugh, can't even start the week without some drama in the Prem 😒. Newcastle's win is a fluke, no doubt about it - Leeds will bounce back hard next time they play them at home. And what's with Chelsea's defence? They're just not good enough right now... and Rosenior getting sent off was just a joke 🤦‍♂️.

And don't even get me started on Benitez - that decision was all wrong, like he's making it up as he goes along. Everton will be stuck in mid-table limbo forever if they keep making moves like that. And what about Manchester City? Dropping points against Burnley? That's just unacceptable... their season is already over 💔.

But you know who the real losers are? The fans, of course 🤷‍♂️. They're stuck with subpar teams and bad management decisions all day, every day. At least when it comes to top-four finishes, we get a glimmer of hope... but for most of us, that's just not happening 😒.
 
🏆 The Premier League never fails to deliver! I'm still hyped about that insane stoppage time goal from Antoine Semenyo 🤯! And poor Liam Rosenior, got himself sent off 😳, can't imagine how tough it is for his team right now.

I do feel bad for Chelsea though, their defense has been a disaster lately 🙈. But hey, at least Manchester United got some crucial points against Burnley 💪. And Everton's fans are going wild after that win over Brentford 🎉! It's always exciting to see teams fighting for top-six spots and trying to catch up.

What's your take on the league right now? Do you think anyone can make a push for the title? 😄
 
Can't believe how crazy that Newcastle game was 🤯! I mean, who expects a stoppage-time winner to turn the whole match around? But at the same time, Chelsea's defensive issues are getting pretty concerning... like, what's going on with Rosenior and his hair-pulling incident 😂? And don't even get me started on Everton's manager Rafa Benitez - some fans can be super harsh when it comes to calling out decisions 💁‍♂️. On the flip side, Burnley's draw against United was a good result for them, and Manchester City dropping points is definitely not what they needed right now 😐. One thing's for sure, though: this Premier League season is shaping up to be super intense! 🔥
 
The Premier League is really heating up 🔥! Newcastle's miraculous comeback against Leeds is still giving me goosebumps – who knew Antoine Semenyo could be the difference maker? 🤯 It just goes to show that even the most unlikely of heroes can make all the difference in the end.

And oh man, Chelsea's defensive woes are getting out of hand 😩. That red card from Rosenior was a huge moment and it's clear they need to sort out their defense ASAP. On the other hand, Manchester United's draw against Burnley might be seen as a modest result but for them, it's a huge morale booster 💪.

I'm also loving the resurgence of Brentford – they're definitely on the right track 🚂! And Rafa Benitez is really ruffling some feathers with his decisions, but hey, that's all part of being a football manager, right? 😜
 
man i feel bad for chelsea's defenders they just can't catch a break 😩 especially with ramos getting sent off last week too... it's like they're playing with 11 men most of the time 🤯 anyway, great win for leeds united and burnley keeping man utd in check 👏 evan may have been harsh on rafa benitez but yeah that decision was pretty dodgy 😐
 
I THINK IT'S BEYOND AMAZING HOW THESE FOOTBALL PLAYERS CAN MAKE SUCH BIG IMPACTS ON THE GAME IN JUST ONE MINUTE!!! I MEAN COME ON, ANTOINE SEMENYO SCORES THAT WINNING GOAL IN STOPPAGE TIME AND CHANGED THE WHOLE DYNAMICS OF THE MATCH!!! AND THOSE RED CARDS LIVIOM ROSENIOR GOT AT CHELSEA ARE JUST SO UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I THINK THE FANS AT EVERTON NEED TO GIVE Rafa BENITEZ A BREAK, HE'S DOING HIS BEST WITH THE TEAM BUT YOU CAN'T BLAME THEM FOR GETTING ANGRY WHEN THEY MAKE THOSE KIND OF DECISIONS!!!
 
omg i was thinkin wot happened 2 liam rosier lol didnt see that hair-pullin incident comin 🤣...Chelsea gotta sort out their defensive issues or theyre gonna struggle 2 make top four Chelsea's got some serious work 2 do 😬. Everton fans r goin crazy after benitez's decision, but i think he made the right call 🙌. Brentford's on fire tho 🚀, if they keep this momentum up they'll def be top six by end of season. Burnley's draw against man united was a big 3 points for them 👏.
 
omg what a wild matchday!!! 🤯 i cant believe newcastle pulled off that comeback 😱 antoine semenyo is literally a hero now 🙌 and chelsea needs to get their act together after that red card disaster 🚫 liam rosenior looks like he's lost his cool 😅 anyway, man utd getting a draw at old Trafford is def a boost for them 🎉 but man city falling behind atm is super worrying ⏰ rafa benitez needs to win some fans back ASAP 😬 and brentford is on fire 🔥 got my eyes on those bees 👀
 
🏆👀 just watched the highlight reel from Newcastle vs Leeds and I'm still hyped! 🤩 that last goal by Semenyo is insane 😲 can't believe it went into stoppage time too ⏰ what a crazy finish to the game! 🎉
 
I don't get why people still watch Prem games if they're just gonna throw red cards everywhere lol 🤣👀 Chelsea is literally cursed right now, I mean Liam Rosenior should've known better than to pull someone's hair 😂. But seriously though, Rafa Benitez needs to sort out his tactics or he'll be the one getting roasted by the fans 🤦‍♂️. And can we talk about how Everton is just having a bad season all around? I mean, they're still struggling with consistency and it's not looking good for them 🏃‍♂️. Am I missing something here or what? 🤔
 
I'm lovin' how much drama is goin' down in the Prem right now! Like, who knew a hair-pullin' incident could lead to a red card? Liam Rosenior must've had some major attitude issues 😂. And seriously, Manchester City is strugglin', can't they just stay consistent for once? But I gotta say, Newcastle United's Antoine Semenyo is the real hero here - that guy's got skills! 💥 What do you guys think about this weekend's matches?
 
idk about man citys chances now they're struggling to stay top... 🤔 but at the same time, their consistency is what made them top contenders in the first place, maybe they just need a little shake-up? 😏 then again, their squad depth has always been an issue, maybe it's finally catching up with them... 💸
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around that Semenyo goal 🤯, I mean how did he even score? it was like a deflection or something...anyone got a replay of that stoppage time goal? also, Rosenior's red card is no surprise, but still pretty harsh... Chelsea needs to work on their discipline 💡. what's going on with Manchester City, they were so close to the top spot last season and now they're struggling? did anyone notice that? 🤔
 
🤔 Newcastle United fans are going wild 😆 after that sick comeback win. I mean, who saw Antoine Semenyo scoring the winner in stoppage time? 🕰️ That's like something out of a movie! 🎥 And can't wait to see how Chelsea sort themselves out with all these red cards 🚫😳. Liam Rosenior, man... what was that hair-pulling incident all about? 🤷‍♂️

On the other hand, Manchester United getting a 2-1 draw against Burnley might not be as bad as it sounds 😏. I mean, they're still in with a shot at top-four and that's something to build on 🔁. And City, yeah... dropping points is never good 🤦‍♂️. But, you know, there's still time for them to get back on track ⏪.

Everton's Rafa Benitez... I don't know what's going on with him 🤔. One minute he's the hero, next minute he's under fire 🔥. Can't a guy just have one good game without getting roasted? 😂

I'll stick to my Manchester United diagram 💡: a big old circle for their 2-1 win 📈, and two smaller circles for Burnley 🏰👍. That way I can visualize the success and... um... not so much of the rest 😅 [drawing of a large circle with two smaller circles inside]
