Sports Desk on a Tuesday

I've waited until Tuesday morning for Sports Desk this week due mainly to the Liverpool v Man Utd match being Sky's Monday Night Football.
This game's result has condensed the current Premiership league table even more but has not taken away for my high point of the weekend's games, seen during Chelsea's 3-0 win over Leicester City at the Bridge. No, not the delightful back heeled return pass to Victor Moses, by Nathaniel Chalobah, for the 3rd goal. Or, David Luis hitting the post of Leicester's and his own goal. But a moment perhaps not seen by everyone in the ground (and certainly not a part of Motd's highlights, more's the pity) but expertly summed up by Jonathan Northcroft in the Sunday Times.

"Cesar Azpilicueta overhit a long diagonal. Through the clear, cold sky it sailed, to the technical areas, where Antonio Conte killed the ball instantly with the outside of a handmade leather shoe. It was a ludicrously deft touch and Conte, in his nonchalance, did not even take his hands out of his pockets."

This happened midway through the first half - a moment I'm glad I didn't miss*.

Hull City's Curtis Davies

Other notes

Not surprised Hull got beat heavily at Bournemouth considering the colour of their away strip. I think it was Puce. Enough to put anyone off their game. 

Brilliant goalkeeping displays by Maarten Stekelenburg (Everton) and Ben Foster (WBA). Top marks.

There were few questionable decisions over the weekend, which makes the sending-off of Aaron Creswell of West Ham stand out all the more. Referee Martin Atkinson got both yellow cards wrong and to add insult, West Ham can't appeal against two yellow cards the way they can a straight Red. 

*Football footnote: Just seen Motd 2 and 'Too Good, Too Bad' featured that Conte moment. Excellent!
