29th December to January 1st 2020 - The new decade

Arsenal took the lead against Chelsea with a goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Things were looking good until the mental strength of Arsenal was tested. We caved and lost the match 2-1.

Brentford travelled to Millwall and lost the match by a single goal. The final score 1-0 to Millwall.

Southend should have been away to Bury but Bury were kicked out of the league at the start of the season. A rest day was the result.

Exeter travelled the breadth of the country to take on Colchester United in the City that houses the University of Essex, a concept that often gets people confused. The result was a 2-2 draw.

The BBC Sport website reports:

Ten-man Colchester played out a 2-2 draw with Exeter following a thrilling contest in League Two.
Exeter goalkeeper Jonny Maxted denied Callum Harriott early on, while Ben Seymour's first-time effort from Archie Collins' cross forced opposite number Dean Gerken to make a magnificent save soon after.
The Grecians went ahead in the eighth minute through Jake Taylor, who collected Matt Jay's pass in the area and thumped an unstoppable right-footed shot past Gerken.
But Colchester levelled when Harry Pell powerfully headed in Harriott's corner at the near post.
Randell Williams' free-kick rattled the crossbar for Exeter but the hosts went ahead in the 59th minute through Theo Robinson, who clinically fired in from close range after Pell's shot had been blocked in the area.
But Exeter levelled when Colchester's Tom Lapslie was dismissed for denying a goalscoring opportunity after a foul in the area on substitute Ryan Bowman, who scored from the spot to claim a point for the visitors.
