WEEKEND RESULTS
Even though we had bad weather again around the UK this weekend we had a near full league fixture. We had just three teams that had no game this weekend and out of the ones that did play, 14 of them failed to score any goals. We all managed to pick up some goals this weekend as the average score fell from seven goals last weekend to 6 goals this weekend, which is still really good. So if you received more than that from your teams, well done.
The highest score that we had this weekend was 5 goals and they came the the Premier League where ARSENAL won 5-0 at home to bottom of the table Sheffield United. With their biggest result of the season, Arsenal have taken their goals total to 24 and they have now scored in all of their 11 league/cup games.
