... We have WINNERS!
Round 11 - RESULTS
Game 1
Burnley 1-2 Manchester City
| Burnley | 1-2 | Man City |
|---|---|---|
 |  |
City started this game looking as if they were suffering a Champions League hang-over. Pep Guardiola fell behind to a Dean Marney goal. However two goals from Sergio Agüero pulled the game around and kept Man City's title challenge on track.
Wisdom of the crowd:
| Burnley | Draw | Man City |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | 13.33% | 86.67% |
We were spot on with this one. 86% went with City, although this game was closer than advertised.
Game 2
Leicester City 2-2 Middlesbrough
| Leicester | 2-2 | Middlesbrough |
|---|---|---|
 |  |
Álvaro Negredo was at his vintage best in this game scoring a brace. Only an injury time penalty from Islam Slimani rescued the Champions in this one.
Wisdom of the crowd:
| Leicester | Draw | Middlesbrough |
|---|---|---|
| 73.33% | 26.67% | 0% |
We were very bullish on Leicester, however Middlesbrough proved more than a match for Claudio Ranieri's men
Game 3
Liverpool 2- 0 Sunderland
| Liverpool | 2-0 | Sunderland |
|---|---|---|
 |  |
Sunderland set out their stool to frustrate Liverpool. Jermaine Defoe, Sunderland's main marksman pointed on Sky's Goals On Sunday, that The Black Cats boss, David Moyes had sent his team out to defend like Athletico Madrid.
Unfortunately for them, Sunderland are no Athletico. Although they held out for ... minutes.
Liverpool will be relieved to have taken 3 points and not slipped up. They will however be sweating on news of Coutinho's fitness. Liverpool's talisman was taken off injured in the first half.
A Divock Origi strike, 15 minutes from time and an injury time penalty from James Milner (after Sadio Mane was fouled) sealed victory for Liverpool.
Wisdom of the crowd:
| Liverpool | Draw | Sunderland |
|---|---|---|
| 93.33% | 6.67% | 0% |
It's hard to bet against Liverpool at home. We didn't and collectively got this prediction correct.
Game 4
Swansea City 5-4 Crystal Palace
| Swansea | 5-4 | Crystal Palace |
|---|---|---|
 |  |
Two injury time goals by Spanish forward Fernando Llorente turned this thriller of a match around for Swansea. If there is a more dramatic game in the league this season, it will have to go some!
Wisdom of the crowd:
| Swansea | Draw | Crystal Palace |
|---|---|---|
| 13.33% | 46.67% | 40% |
We were relatively split on the outcome of this game. As it turned out Swansea's last minute turnaround meant we were very wrong on the outcome of this one!
Game 5
Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
| Chelsea | 2-1 | Tottenham |
|---|---|---|
 |  |
A wonderful early strike from Christian Eriksen opening the scoring in this one. It was cancelled out by an equally spectacular strike from Pedro just before half time.
After some good work by Diego Costa, Victor Moses popped up at the far post to slot in the winner.
Wisdom of the crowd:
| Chelsea | Draw | Tottenham |
|---|---|---|
| 73.33% | 26.67% | 0% |
Chelsea's recent good form had us backing them strongly to win this. Despite falling behind they managed to get the comeback win and prove us right!
