Premier League Gameweek 11 saw fans return to stadia in low numbers. This is a massive step forward in the journey back to normalcy, after the end of the second national lockdown in the United Kingdom.
The games keep coming thick and fast and in the blink of an eye, Premier League Gameweek 11 is over. Oladipupo Mojeed gives us a summary of last week’s fixtures.
Results of Saturday’s games
Burnley 1 – 1 Everton
Premier League gameweek 11 kicked of with a clash between Sean Dycheās men and the Toffees at Turf Moor.
Robert Brady gave the hosts the lead after capitalizing on a loose pass from Allan, as he struck from distance.
Everton found it hard to grow into the game as Burnleyās defensive blocks made it diffivult. An injury to Fabian Delph forced a change of shape which resulted in the Toffees playing much better. They were then rewarded with a Calvert -Lewin goal late in the first half.
The second half ended goalless as both keepers kept their teams in the game. The game could have swung either way and both teams would be happy with a point.
