🇺🇸 Weekend Review: England 🏴
Chris Richards received his second yellow card of the season in 15th-place Crystal Palace’s 1-1 tie with 17th-place Nottingham Forest.
The tie — despite playing a man up the entire second half — extended Palace’s winless streak to nine games and leaves it in 15th place, three points ahead of 16th place Leeds United.
A strong run by Leeds and Brenden Aaronson came to a halt with a 4-0 loss to league leader Arsenal, but Leeds maintained its 6-point cushion above the relegation zone.
• Jedi’s drought: Fulham was trailing Manchester United 2-0 in its 3-2 loss when Antonee Robinson was subbed out. The loss moved Fulham back down to 8th place. Robinson has yet to assist this season after leading Premier League defenders with 10 assists last season.
🏴 England:
Sky Sports ratings (1=low; 10=high)
6 Chris Richards (Crystal Palace), 90 minutes, 1 yellow card (1-1 at Nottingham Forest)
5 Brenden Aaronson (Leeds United), 74 minutes (0-4 vs. Arsenal)
5 Antonee Robinson (Fulham), 71 minutes (2-3 at Manchester United)
Gaga Slonina (Chelsea), did not dress (3-2 vs. West Ham)
Tyler Adams (Bournemouth), injured (2-0 at Wolverhampton)
🏴 Leeds Live on Aaronson. “Had a few bursts here and there but was often crowded out, not for the lack of trying. Moving to the No. 10 in the second half didn’t change much on his personal front.”
