What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. There were two games live on Sky Sports on Saturday evening with Everton against Chelsea, followed by Leeds versus Brentford. This is how we saw things at the end of the night.
And that is that. Whether it was a big opportunity, a missed opportunity, or a crucial point, we'll only know when the final reckoning comes in May. Short of genuine chances, short of real attacking quality, in the end goalless at Elland Road. Much ado, but nothing nothing, Leeds United nil, Brentford nil.
We'll continue to talk about this one, but if you've just watched that game on Sky 1, you might be in need of some entertainment. The iconic Saturday Night Live has landed in the UK.
What were the highlights of Everton's 3-0 victory over Chelsea?
Wetlegger there, Tina Fey is there, and you can be there too. Saturday Night Live UK, next on Sky 1.
And here on Sky Sports main event, we've got reaction to Leeds United against Brentford. A goalless draw. The two defences very much on top in that game. So appropriate that we have Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielko with us. It probably was on Leeds as the home side to kind of go and try and take something from that game. But in a relegation battle, is that point actually precious?
I think so. Obviously, time will tell. Obviously, they tried to make a couple of substitutions towards the end of the game to potentially pick up the three points, but we said throughout the whole game they were quite cagey. It almost looked like both teams were quite happy with a point move on, another game down, and they'll pick up the points they need to stay up in the rest of the games they've got.
Gary, it was a game in which they, as you said at half-time, continued into the second half with them cancelling each other out.
Yeah, much of the same from the first half, wasn't it? Defenders, like you said, on top in this game. Two very well-organised defensive units. But like you said, I think it could be a potential vital point for Leeds in what was a cagey game.
Let's take a look at what's happened over the course of this weekend. And results have kind of... gone the way of Brentford at the moment towards the top end of the table. But it started with Manchester United dropping points at Bournemouth on Friday night. It was a two-all draw. Earlier today, Brighton got a 2-1 win against Liverpool and then Fulham beat Burnley by three goals to one. In the early game of Saturday night football, finished Everton 3-0 Chelsea. That's Everton's biggest win over Chelsea since 1987. And you can see all of the Premier League goals on the Sky Sports app. There is a huge day to come tomorrow in terms of games at the wrong end of the table, including that match-up between Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest.
So here's how things look. Brentford stay in seventh place with that point, but the teams below them managed to get a win, even though Chelsea and Liverpool lost and Manchester United above them dropped points. So Brentford moving a little closer to the Champions League battle, but the teams behind them moving a little bit closer in terms of qualifying for other European competitions. And at the other end of the table, that point for Leeds moves them on to 33. It means they're four points clear of the bottom three.
How did Leeds United and Brentford end up in a goalless draw?
They would have hoped that they could move a little bit further away, especially given that they were playing at home. But at this stage of the season, in a relegation battle, every point counts.
