The past weekend saw some special moments in the English Premier League, and we have picked our top three.
From goals, to referee decisions and VAR drama, this weekend had it all, with the key moments selected having a major impact on the outcomes of games.
With the weekend providing us with several controversial moments, next weekend promises to be full of drama once again, and you can live every decision at Bet9ja by having a bet on more than 200 markets for every Premier League fixture.
VAR Drama, Crystal Palace Vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Crystal Palace hosted Brighton at Selhurst Park on Saturday, and although the game ended in a stalemate, the visitors will be thinking that they have been hard done by, after a controversial VAR decision ruled out a Pervis Estupinan goal.
In the 32nd minute of the game, creative midfielder Pascal Gross picked up the ball and found Estupinan, who was deemed to be in an offside position by VAR, but it turns out that the line drawn was not on the deepest defender (Marc Guehi), therefore not making the full-back offside.
Spurs smashed, Leicester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs came into this game at the King Power Stadium full of confidence after beating Manchester City 1-0 at home in their most recent fixture, but Antonio Conte could not lead his side to victory against the Foxes.
Rodrigo Bentancur broke the deadlock in the 14th minute, but the hosts went on to score three goals before half time, including one from Super Eagle Kelechi Iheanacho, and Harvey Barnes confirmed the three points late on when he made it 4-1.
Leicester have now scored eight goals in their last two Premier League games, after they also found the back of the net four times against Aston Villa, so Brendan Rodgers will be hoping his side can continue this fine form next weekend.
Controversial referee decision, West Ham United Vs Chelsea
West Ham hosted Chelsea in a London derby at the weekend, and both sides had to settle for a point after they couldn’t do enough to find a winner.
However, the main talking point of the match came in the second half when Conor Gallagher’s effort was controversially stopped by Tomas Soucek as he slide in, and blocked the ball with his arm.
Although neither side could figure out a way to secure all three points, Graham Potter might feel like his side done enough and should have been awarded with a penalty in a crucial moment of the game, but the referee did not agree and waved play on.
