West Ham have surrendered 2 first half goals to Huddersfield. I believe this is the first time HUD have scored twice before the half since the Reformation
All the makings of a proper cup upset now in Swansea v City. Penalty and counter goal, City wasting breaks left and right and the Swans keeper making a few very good saves already
I’m unfortunately not watching. Following via twitter and bleacher report. Was it that bad?

Looks like Aguero was a step off side on the game winning goal as well.
And another fan on the pitch. Inconceivable after last week.
It was a Liverpool Sterling penalty. Wrong foots the defender and faints in the challenge. Aguero offside for the go ahead goal as well. City very very very lucky. And incredibly unlucky at the quality of Swansea keeper and last ditch defending today, there had been a few laugh out loud goal mouth scrambles
I'm not complaining - the more competitions City stay in, the more likely they drop points in the league

Actually this was my impression as well. He was reaching for the ball and fell over after he couldn't get to it, but certainly not a penalty.
Another amazing Dortmund game in the Bundesliga today.
5 goals, including one in stoppage time, followed by a red card, another red card, and plenty of chaos.
Too bad Bayern will win the league again, Dortmund is so entertaining to watch.

To Sterling's credit, he doesn't appeal for the penalty - I agree that he didn't dive for it, just a poor call

Wolves fully deserving of this win. Really a fantastic overall season for them. Would love them too get the FA Cup as a showing for it.
Wolves played fantastically today. Really a side you can get behind (if you aren’t playing them).
No one else pointing out that Huddersfield is starting Rowe at Left Back, and Lowe at Right Back? No wonder they're bottom of the table.
Beautiful interchange between Mané and Firmino. It helps that Calum Chambers was playing everybody and their mothers onside
Let down after their big comeback vs Atletico, Juventus loses their first Series A match of the season against 13th place Genoa.
Liverpool giving up some ghastly breaks against them, an offside goal for Fulham and a near volley goal for Anguissa that Alisson held
Good grief, Alisson almost put that on Babel's boot
Salah has to finish that... just carry it around the keeper

I knew Millwall were dirty but holy shit. Ferguson scrapes his cleats down the heel of Lewis Dunk and gets sent off in the 119th minute

As a Palace fan, I just took consolation that one of them was going to lose, while knowing one was going to win...
Everton's Jekyll and Hyde season continues. Awful in the first half, but saved by Chelsea's inability to finish (they did hit the post).
Fantastic in the second half. Aggressive, fluid, resolute. Goodison was rocking, the team was flying.
In the last ten minutes, Marco Silva looked like a kid waiting for his prom date to come downstairs.
Silva probably just saved his job. Sarri may have just lost his.
Oh: 2-0 Everton. Richarlison 49', Sigurdsson 72' (scoring off the rebound of Kepa's save of his penalty).
I missed the second half of the Everton-Chelsea game. What the hell happened? Everton were absolutely dire in the first half, couldn't string two passes together.
Also, Messi scored an outstanding hat trick against Real Betis today, capped off by an outrageous third where he one-touch chipped the keeper from 18 yards out. The Betis supporters gave him a standing ovation.

Bonus of his FK in the 18th minute: https://streamja.com/5wBp
The announcers' reaction on each goal sums it up. He isn't human
Finally - the Suarez backheel to find Messi is also outrageous https://streamja.com/0KNG

That third one is a masterpiece. Likely a top 10 Messi goal. The FK was likely a Messi top 10 FK and the middle goal was just a ho-hum finish with the outside of the boot to the NEAR post. Utterly amazing.
I think that's my now my second favorite hat trick ever, topped only by Rivaldo's in 2001 against Valencia that he finished with an 89th minute game-winning overhead kick.
Its pretty rare to see a goal that makes you sit up and think "Wait, how is that even possible?" I really don't think I've ever seen a goal quite like that third goal before. The keeper wasn't even that far off his line.
