- Zaha, their most capable player, was a focal figure from the fourth moment of a feisty experience, when numerous eyewitnesses felt Capoue ought to have gotten a red card as opposed to a yellow for a foul on him. Inside three more minutes Zaha himself was booked.
- His group had begun well and previous England goalkeeper Ben Foster kept the home side in the amusement at an opportune time with two fine spares, from a header by Christian Benteke and after that from James McArthur. Each shot was made by Perilous winger Andros Townsend.
To be fair, lots of positives there. If ref did his job we win. @wilfriedzaha has to start out wide next week. That’s where he does his damage. Watford lucky and dirty but won their cup final. We’ll finish higher than them. Definitely. #WATCRY #cpfc ????

Palace leaving Zaha up front when defending corners meaning Watford have to leave two defenders back. Something you’re taught in Under 8’s football. Take note Bruce you boring bastard
— James Gorton (@gortavfc) August 26, 2018
- Benteke made the most obvious opportunity to even out before Holebas cheated goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey from out on the left wing.

One of the things about being a football follower today is that newly promoted Fulham beating a now established #premierLeague team, #Burnley 4-2 is really no longer special being how much Fulham spent on quality signings pre season…
— MJJeremiah (@Nelsonrow80) 26 August 2018
- Jeff Hendrick struck six minutes after Seri’s terrific early opener and a short proximity James Tarkowski finish late in a five-foal first half, gave Burnley trust that they could yet add to the solitary point they have overseen in a lazy beginning to the Premier League season.
He may not have been the key factor in today’s result but Fulham’s win record over the last 2 seasons with Betts in goal is uncanny…didn’t think Fabri deserved to be dropped on Spurs performance but statistics in this case are good enough for me!
— Ollie Beales (@obeales82) 26 August 2018
- In any case, Mitrovic scored twice with his head in the middle of Burnley’s goals and a merited late strike for Schurrle left Sean Dyche – who knows his side are wavering on the edge of Europa League disposal after a 3-1 vanquish at Olympiacos – with mounting issues to comprehend.

- In any case, their lead was fleeting, as Joselu figured out how to beat David Luiz to a Yedlin cross 7 minutes from time and Newcastle thought they had done what was needed to anchor a point.
David Luiz, man. I don’t see any reasonable purpose to play Luiz over Christensen. It needs to end now. I love David Luiz as a person, I love him and I love what he has contributed to Chelsea but it needs to end right now, and let Christensen does the rest.
