    Easter is buzzing and there's so much to enjoy about this day. For me, the big plan I had going into this day was the EPL fixtures scheduled for the day. The games I had on my watchlist were;

    • Liverpool vs Brighton

    • Manchester City vs Arsenal

    Liverpool 2 - 1 Brighton

    Liverpool snoozed and got smoked in the first minute of the game. It was an unbelievably depressing way to start a game that we obviously needed to win. The goal was scored by Welbeck and it came as an ultimate wake-up call for Liverpool. Conceding that early in a game can't exactly be a good thing. However, the fact that we conceded the goal at that time meant that Liverpool had enough time to turn things around.

    As expected, Liverpool stepped into the game and created a lot of chances. Brighton was equally creating a lot of chances, but the scoreline remained the same until the 27th minute when Diaz got an equalizer for Liverpool. The build-up to that goal came from a corner kick that was awarded to Liverpool.

    Salah got me rattled in the first half of the game with the chances he was bottling. The lad had a lot of passes laid on the plate for him but his decision-making was awful and painful to watch. He had several moments when he could have passed, but decided to balloon the ball out of the field of play. Salah also struggled to complete a dribble in that half of the game.

    Second Half

    Liverpool's performance in the second half of the game didn't look different from their performance in the first half. They were creating chances and breaking up Brighton's attack. All they needed was to bury their chances and they finally did that when Macca served a juicy assist to Salah. This time around, Salah used the chance well and scored a goal to put Liverpool ahead.

    The performance in the game isn't bad, because this is our first game after the international break. However, Nunez must be gutted about his performance in the game. It's not necessarily because he had a bad game. The problem is that his attacking partners neglected him a lot in the game. Salah in particular had a lot of opportunities to serve crucial passes to Nunez. But he chose to go for a goal and messed up those opportunities.

    Well, the 3 points are already in the bag and we are top of the league.


    Man City 0 - 0 Arsenal

    Each side had their moments in the first half. Manchester City looked more comfortable on the ball in that half of the game. However, by the end of the first half, none of the clubs managed to stress the opposition keeper in a very serious way. That's pretty much the case in the second half of the game. As very few people expected, the game ended with a point for each side.

    As a neutral fan who had no horse in the game, a draw between the two sides is perfect for me in this title race. As it stands, Liverpool is already top of the table in this 3 horse race of a title challenge. It would be interesting to see how the rest of this season would unfold although I'm genuinely wishing everything goes in favor of Klopp and the boys.

    Happy Easter Celebration To Y'all.

    Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.
