Moses Shines as Chelsea Triumph, Watford Stumbles: Burnley Ascends to Fourth

In a compelling display of skill and determination, Chelsea rebounded from their recent setback to West Ham with a resounding 3-1 victory over Huddersfield Town in the Premier League on Tuesday. Victor Moses, the Super Eagles forward, reclaimed his spot in the starting lineup, showcasing his prowess after being relegated to the bench during the 1-0 defeat to West Ham.

The Blues seized the lead in the 23rd minute, with Tiemoue Bakayoko capitalizing on Willian’s precision pass. The 43rd minute witnessed Chelsea’s dominance doubling as Willian adeptly headed in Marcos Alonso’s exquisite cross. Pedro Rodriguez further solidified Chelsea’s position with a spectacular goal in the 50th minute, steering the ball into the top corner.

Huddersfield managed to salvage a consolation goal in the dying moments, as Laurent Depoitre headed in a cross during injury time.

Maintaining their third position, Chelsea now stands temporarily level with Manchester United at 35 points. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace orchestrated a stunning comeback against 10-man Watford at Selhurst Park. Daryl Janmaat provided an early lead for Watford, but Tom Cleverley’s expulsion, following a second yellow card, tipped the scales in Palace’s favor.

Bakary Sako drew level for Palace in the 88th minute, setting the stage for a dramatic turnaround. In the 92nd minute, James McArthur delivered the decisive blow, propelling Palace to a 2-1 victory and elevating them to 17th place with 14 points.

Isaac Success, the Nigerian forward, continued to warm the bench as an unused substitute for Watford, yet to make his debut this season. In the early kick-off at Turf Moor, Ashley Barnes’ 89th-minute goal secured a 1-0 triumph for Burnley against Stoke City, propelling Burnley to fourth place with 31 points while Stoke languishes in 15th place with 16 points.
