So Arsenal go a goal down to Aston Villa and have Ainslee Maitland-Niles sent off. We get a penalty that allows Pepe to score his first goal for the club and we then let them take the lead again within seconds. I have to be happy that we eventually won the game through a Callum Chambers first to the loose ball chip into the top of the net and a magnificent Aubameyang free kick that suggested to me a poorly set Aston Villa wall.
Arsenal 3 Aston Villa 2 = Happy face.
Moving back to Saturday's matches Brentford drew 0-0 at home to Stoke. The main thing when you play Stoke is to avoid injury and I have not heard of any injuries yet.
SOUTHEND UNITED WON A MATCH
As winning a league match is a unique event this season I have to be happy. The defence seems to have improved to the point where no goals were conceded and they were allowed to practice defence after Charlie Kelman scored the only goal of the game in the 4th minute.
Exeter travelled to Newport County and took the lead early in the match. Lee Martin scored after fifteen minutes but the Grecians conceded a penalty in the second half so the points were shared in this 1-1 draw.
Torquay, like Brentford, fought out a 0-0 draw against Dagenham & Redbridge. Enough said.
Weymouth beat Sholing 3-0 in the F.A.Cup so continue on to the next round.
Tiverton, however, lost their F.A.Cup match against Bristol Manor Farm 4-2.
Barnstaple continued their run of league defeats going down 1-0 at Willand Rovers.
Exmouth seem to be on a high at the moment. The 4-0 away win at Cribbs sees them climb to ninth place although they have played fewer matches than all of the teams above them. Good times.
Finally, I kept the costs down by attending my local village match to watch my Liverton boys score twice. The only problem with that statistic is that Witheridge, the opposition, scored double figures to inflict the worst defeat of the season so far. Once again it should have been more than ten but the keeper made a number of good saves and the Witheridge strikers also wasted some good chances.
I have to advertise: "Come and watch Liverton. You will see a great many goals."
There have been 53 goals in the eight Liverton matches so far. Know any good defenders?
