Jonathan Cook’s World Game Wrap-Up Posted on November 14, 2022November 14, 2022 | Posted by Jonathan Cook United’s new star While Cristiano Ronaldo was telling a UK media personality he felt betrayed by Manchester United, a potential new star was making a name for himself on the pitch. Eighteen-year-old Alejandro Garnacho came off the bench to score a stoppage time winner as United overcame Fulham, 2-1, at Craven Cottage. United were also indebted to goalkeeper David de Gea, who made several saves, after Dan James had equalised Christian Eriksen’s first goal for United. There was no place in the squad for Ronaldo, who told Piers Morgan he was being forced out of United. Alejandro Garnacho. 93rd minute winner. Then he gave it THAT celebration 💥 It’s his first Premier League goal and it comes at the perfect time. Incredible scenes in front of the away bay at Craven Cottage.#OptusSport pic.twitter.com/WMlptkO3DS — Optus Sport (@OptusSport) November 13, 2022 Ings at the double for Villa Two goals from Danny Ings helped Aston Villa see off Brighton, 2-1, and continue Unai Emery’s winning Premier League start. Emery, Villa’s new manager, had seen his side beat Manchester United at Villa Park in his first game in charge last week, and the victory over Brighton was the club’s first away win of the season. Things had started well for Brighton who were in front after just 49 seconds through Alexis Mac Allister. But Ings drew them level from the penalty spot and then scored a second-half winner. The goal that secured back-to-back @PremierLeague wins. 🤩@DGOficial 🤝 @IngsDanny pic.twitter.com/L4a2ZuHnPQ — Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) November 13, 2022 Gunners’ early Christmas present Arsenal continued their run of scoring in every game this season to sit top of the Premier League heading into the World Cup break. Captain Martin Odegaard was the key contributor, scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Wolves that guarantees the Gunners will be top at Christmas for the first time since 2007. Wolves, watched from the stands by Julen Lopetegui who will take over as manager this week, were unlucky not to have an early penalty. But despite their protests, nothing was given for William Saliba’s challenge on Goncalo Guedes. Defeat left Wolves bottom of the table and Lopetegui with a clear view of the size of the task he faces. Arsenal have made their best start to a league season in the club’s 135-year history 🤯 pic.twitter.com/l8MhaYK4Zu — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) November 13, 2022 Toney’s hurt stings City He wasn’t deemed good enough for England’s World Cup squad, but Brentford striker Ivan Toney consoled himself with a starring role in a stunning win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Just days after Toney was left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Qatar World Cup, he scored twice in a 2-1 win. Phil Foden’s stunning half volley was little more than a consolation as City lost at home for the first time since defeat to Tottenham in February. Brentford manager Thomas Frank described the win, secured by Toney in the eighth minute of stoppage time, as the best in the club’s history. Thursday: Ivan Toney isn’t selected in England’s World Cup squad. Saturday: Ivan Toney scores his 20th goal of the year… against Man City. His celebration 👀 pic.twitter.com/iYKo7gRPvR — ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) November 12, 2022 Newcastle looking up, not down Have you heard the joke about how Newcastle United need only two more wins to be safe from relegation this season? Such has been the transformation under Eddie Howe that Newcastle, who in recent years regularly flirted with relegation, now sit third in the Premier League. The latest victory came via the boot of Joe Willock, who fired home in the 67th minute to send Chelsea crashing to a third successive defeat. Newcastle are two points adrift of second-placed Manchester City and seven behind leaders Arsenal, although Howe’s side have played one game more heading into the World Cup break.

Jesse Marsch’s side have now dropped 11 points from winning positions this season as they continue to blow hot and cold. Two excellent goals for Rodrigo and another for Crysencio Summerville deserved better than a 4-3 defeat to a Tottenham side, who were grateful to Rodrigo Bentancur for his two goals, including a late winner. Defeat for Leeds was even more difficult to take given goalkeeper Illan Meslier appeared to have been fouled by Clement Lenglet in the lead up to Spurs’ first goal, scored by Harry Kane. FULL-TIME Spurs 4-3 Leeds A seven-goal classic at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium swings late in @SpursOfficial‘s favour. Leeds took the lead three times, but two goals in three minutes from Rodrigo Bentancur gives the home side the victory#TOTLEE pic.twitter.com/drAfLcvg0S — Premier League (@premierleague) November 12, 2022 O’Neil the man for the job Bournemouth could do a lot worse than give caretaker manager Gary O’Neil the job for the rest of the season. With rumours that former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa is in the running for the job, O’Neil’s men snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-0 win over Everton. While Everton fans were booing Frank Lampard and his players, there was nothing but applause for O’Neil and the Cherries. Since Scott Parker was sacked after complaining about a lack of resources following a 9-0 defeat to Liverpool, O’Neil has overseen three Premier League wins and four draws in 11 games. Bournemouth are now 13th, three points above the relegation zone. Despite being favourites to finish bottom of the Premier League, Bournemouth are up to 14th after beating Everton 3-0. Gary O’Neil has done a fantastic job while interim head coach, winning three and drawing four to collect 13 points. 🍒👏#AFCB pic.twitter.com/sLdyWOfOOf — The Coaches’ Voice (@CoachesVoice) November 12, 2022 Leicester cruise against Hammers Not even a saved penalty could deny Leicester City a comfortable victory against West Ham United. Youri Tielemans, who has scored two long-range stunners recently, failed from much closer to goal as Lukasz Fabianski saved his spot kick. But Leicester, already a goal up through James Maddison, sealed victory in the second half when Harvey Barnes despatched Ayoze Perez’s through ball. Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, who was forced to substitute Maddison midway through the first half, said the injury should not impact on the midfielder’s World Cup campaign with England. Harvey Barnes seals it! ⚽💨#WHULEI pic.twitter.com/MubEBwzRd6 — Leicester City (@LCFC) November 12, 2022 Old and new in Reds win James Milner played in his 600th Premier League match and Darwin Nunez scored twice as Liverpool beat Southampton 3-1 at Anfield. If Nunez, who will join his Uruguay colleagues at the World Cup this week, is one of Liverpool’s new stars, Milner represents the reliable, old guard. The 36-year-old made his Premier League debut 20 years ago for Leeds United against West Ham and has since also played for Swindon, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Manchester City, as well as the Reds. It was a difficult start for new Southampton manager Nathan Jones, whose side had been level through Che Adams after Roberto Firmino’s opener. Darwin Nunez has the same amount of Premier League goals as Gabriel Jesus this season but in 600 fewer minutes 🥵 pic.twitter.com/EUpGuTNzpE — ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) November 12, 2022 Zaha off target from the spot Wilfried Zaha might find himself removed from Crystal Palace’s penalty-taking duties after failing again from the spot in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Zaha hit a post with his first-half penalty and has now missed four of the 11 he has taken for Palace. Nottingham Forest capitalised in the second half when Morgan Gibbs-White pounced on a rebound to fire home. Initially ruled out for offside, the Video Assistant Referee overturned the decision and the goal stood. ❌ | Wilfried Zaha has now missed 5 of his last 8 penalties (63%). Time for a change?#CPFC pic.twitter.com/AYAWGv39TG — The Palace Way (@ThePalaceWay) November 12, 2022 Napoli in pole position Napoli will go into the World Cup break with an eight-point lead at the top of Serie A after a 3-2 win over Udinese. Luciano Spalletti’s side extended to 11 games their winning streak through goals from Victor Osimhen, Piotr Zielinski and Eljif Elmas, although they were put through some nervous moments after Ilija Nestorovski and Lazar Samardzic scored for the visitors. Napoli have won the title only twice in their history when Diego Maradona was the architect of success in 1987 and 1990. The gap to second-placed AC Milan would have been greater if not for a late own goal, which earned Milan a 2-1 win against Fiorentina. Napoli are 11 points clear at the top of Serie A 🔥 pic.twitter.com/2oUp6YIHgQ — GOAL (@goal) November 12, 2022 Hasty whistle denies Cummings Jason Cummings was spitting chips after having a goal chalked off in Central Coast Mariners’ 3-2 defeat to Macarthur in the A-League men’s competition. Cummings pounced on a loose ball and drilled a shot into the corner of the net just as referee Daniel Elder was blowing his whistle for a Mariners penalty. Had he waited just a second more, Cummings’ goal would have stood. Instead, the Socceroos striker took the penalty but was denied by the outstretched palm of Nicholas Suman. A late Macarthur goal hands them victory⚽#CCMvMAC #WontBackDown #CCMFC #OurParadise pic.twitter.com/WZZGTWHSM2 — Central Coast Mariners (@CCMariners) November 13, 2022 Western off the bottom Western United’s fightback against Wellington Phoenix has left Perth Glory at the foot of the A-League men’s competition. United trailed 2-0 to Phoenix in Wellington before storming back with goals from Jacob Tratt, Aleksandar Prijovic and Alessandro Diamanti, whose winner came in stoppage time. Glory are a point adrift of Western United, who have played a game more than Perth, and three points behind Newcastle Jets, Brisbane Roar and Wellington Phoenix. Scores level in the 95th minute… Step forward @alinodiamanti23 💎 pic.twitter.com/IEKh6s64W8 — Western United FC 🏆 (@wufcofficial) November 13, 2022
