A weekend to savour in the Premier League included a discount coupon consisting of three games with both groups scoring, one of which had over 2.5 objectives, resulting in simply 12 objectives being scored throughout the 9 video games.
We witnessed three 0-0 draws, and the game at Arsenal likewise looked to be going that method before Jordan Pickford's rush of blood with the Gunners touching 4/1 in-play.
However, in the grand scheme of things, we can't grumble about a rare winning favourite leaving it late having actually seen the similarity Manchester City, Chelsea, and then the icing on the cake, the often-criticised Spurs, leaving Liverpool with an uncommon yet well-deserved point. Xabi Alonso is now 8/11 to be in the Anfield dugout at the start of next season.
Arsenal are 1/10 for the title after their late two-goal salvo and simply 5/2 to win it by 10 or more points with alternatives Viktor Gyokeres and Max Dowman scoring, which was music to the ears of Kai Havertz and Martin Zubimendi backers, thanks to our Sub On, Use concession.
West Ham played their part by holding Manchester City to a 1-1 attract East London, finishing a miserable day for punters having seen Chelsea lose at home 1-0 to Newcastle with 'Huddle-Gate' as soon as again rearing its head - the Blues are out to Evens for a Leading Five surface.
The game at Old Trafford was more to the customers' liking with four objectives and a winning 'jolly', but they were feeding upon scraps in the Premier League this weekend, unlike the Manchester United side with Bruno Fernandes offering two more helps to take him to 16 for the season and 5/4 to break the Premier League record of 20 held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
The European Saturday voucher wasn't far better for punters with numerous leaders and title challengers unable to protect 3 points.
Bayern Munich had both Nicolas Jackson and Luis Diaz sent off as the runaway leaders drew at Leverkusen. Top of the table Inter were also held at a similar rate in your home to Atalanta in Serie A, while Lens suffered a 2-1 defeat on the road at Lorient.
La Liga did have its fair share of winning favourites. Midweek hat-trick hero Federico Valverde scored once again for Real Madrid and Arda Guler scored from inside his own half against Elche. The Turkish international had actually changed Vinicius Junior, which indicated backers of the Brazilian had gathered on various markets thanks to our Sub On, Play On offer as the hosts won 4-1.
Barcelona went one much better by beating Sevilla 5-1 with Raphinha assisting himself to a hat-trick (20/1) and third-placed Atletico Madrid continued their strong home kind with a 1-0 victory against Getafe.
Arsenal now sit nine points clear at the top, albeit having played a game more than Manchester City and it now feels like a concern of how far they will win their first Premier League title since 2004. Indeed, Arsenal are now 5/2 to win by 10 or more points having actually been 16/1 to do so just 2 weeks earlier and the Gunners are 14/1 to finish the season with the quadruple.
Bruno Fernandes is all the rage to win the PFA Player of the Year award after adding two more helps to take his tally to 16 for the season. We rate him as a 5/4 possibility to surpass the record Premier League of 20 held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
At 9/2, the Portuguese playmaker is our only loser in the PFA book and to be honest, I'm content with that. Why? Well, while his capability is undisputed and he's made the shortlist in the past, this is a trophy elected by his peers and I just do not believe he has enough of the likability element, compared to the likes of Declan Rice, who currently heads our betting at 4/7.
With a 5th put surface now looking significantly likely to protect UEFA Champions League football next season, I'm having a look at which group will end up 6th. Chelsea currently lead the marketplace at 2/1 after their defeat to Newcastle. We all seem to have a viewpoint on huddle-gate - clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, Paul Tierney was much stuck in the middle with Blue.
