John Gibbons and Neil Atkinson look back at an action packed Premier League weekend, with a little help from their friends.
After four staright league defeats, Southampton bounced back with an impressive 3-0 win against Leicester City, just in time for a trip to Anfield. We speak to Mark Sanderson about how they managed to turn their form around and of course look forward to the Semi Final second leg against Liverpool.
It was an almost perfect weekend for Chelsea, 2-0 winners against Hull City as most of their title rivals dropped points. We chat with Rebecca Knight about the unlikely heroes that have emerged at Stamford Bridge, the future of Diego Costa and their own forthcoming trip to Anfield in a weeks time.
Just how good is Ngolo Kante, could he be the best player in the world? I don’t think I am qualified enough to judge an elite defensive midfielder by eye, but seeing Leicester go from nowehere to 1st then to ~15th, and Chelsea from 10th to run away leaders, now that’s what you call impact. As with anything with football there are many factors but it seems all you need to do is by a good striker, wide forward and Ngolo Kante and you a guaranteed the league.
