"Premier" league had three matches this afternoon. One of them featured Steven Gerrard's return to Anfield stadium, where the English coach's "Aston Villa" team faced off against the "Liverpool" players. Gerrard's former team defeated his current players 1-0. The fruit of the match was picked by the "Liverpool" players in the 67th minute. Mohamed Salah provoked a penalty, which he successfully converted himself. In other matches, "Leeds United" painfully let the lead slip away against "Chelsea" away from home. Three penalties were awarded in the match, and the first one was converted by the visitor's player Raphinha. The Brazilian player put his team in the lead, but Mason Mount equalized the score at the end of the first half. In the second half, Jorginho converted a penalty and turned the match in favor of the "aristocrats". In the 83rd minute, young talent Joe Gelhardt leveled the score for "Leeds United". However, "Chelsea" dramatically expanded their lead with three points during the match. Mateusz Klich needlessly fouled Antonio Rudiger in the penalty area, and Jorginho converted another penalty. "Arsenal" took care of "Southampton" 3-0 at home and temporarily surpassed "Tottenham" and "Manchester United" in the league table. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang didn't play in these matches due to internal team issues."
