Bony Goal Lifts Swansea, Mahrez Shines For Leicester, and Mo Salah Can’t Stop Scoring
The ex-Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony scored the only goal of the match between Swansea and West Brom on Saturday in the English Premier League.
The ex-Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony scored the only goal of the match between Swansea and West Brom on Saturday in the English Premier League. Captain Bony’s goal saw Swansea register just their first win in as many matches lifting them up from the bottom of the league to 18th. The Welsh club are counting on him and striker partner Jordan Ayew (Ghana) to get them the goals to stay afloat in the EPL. Swansea will face runaway leaders Manchester City in an EPL clash on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, the Algerian, Riyad Mahrez scored a wonder goal for Leicester as they came from a goal down to beat Newcastle 3-2. The 2016 CAF player of the year is surely back on top of his game. Another Ivorian was also on show, Wilfried Zaha. He won two penalties for struggling Crystal Palace in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
Mohamed Salah continued his blistering goal scoring form with a brilliant individual goal in the Merseyside derby against Everton which ended 1-1. Salah is still the English Premier League top score with 13 goals ahead of Harry Kane on 12. Catch up on the derby with a live match recap.
