Week 3 results
MANCHESTER CITY 4 IPSWICH TOWN 1
Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick as City showed Ipswich just how tough life in the Premier League can be with a comfortable victory, as the visitors scored with their only shot in the game. Everyone predicted a win for City, with 4 getting it spot-on.
PRESTON NORTH END 1 LUTON TOWN 0
Will Keane’s goal ended Preston’s league goal drought going back to April 9th, and ended a seven-match losing streak going back to last season. It proved enough to give new manager Paul Heckingbottom a winning start. Well done to noah4x4 for being the only to have this spot-on, and another 3 got the outcome. 14 predicted a win for Luton, with 11 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
CHARLTON ATHLETIC 2 BOLTON WANDERERS 0
Charlton underlined their early season promotion credentials with this win, as they have won all three matches in League One and not conceded a goal. Well done to oxfcolu for being the only one to get this spot-on, and a further 11 had the outcome.
WIGAN ATHLETIC 1 CRAWLEY TOWN 0
Wigan finally got their League One campaign up and running thanks to an own goal from Joy Mukena. It was needed as they could only muster one shot on target themselves. Only BFG and Lewis_1 had this spot-on, and another 14 got the outcome.
BARROW 4 PORT VALE 0
Four second-half goals gave Barrow an emphatic victory, as Vale concede their first league goals this season. Nobody got this spot-on, but 11 did have the outcome.
FLEETWOOD TOWN 0 GILLINGHAM 0
Gillingham remain top of League Two after this bore draw, despite only having one shot on target. Again nobody got this spot-on, though 9 did have the outcome.
On a week where Manchester City was a gimme, the other five didn't look so straight forward. But this was an occasion when things didn't turn out to be that difficult, with five home wins, and one draw, and the only goal scored by an away team being the Sammie Szmodics consolation for Ipswich. Plenty of home wins, but 3 pointers were still hard to come by, with only 8 in total. Those 3 pointers were shared out with eight members gettting one each, and it was Sector4, who had the Man City 4-1, and he was the only one to also have four outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with a decent 7 points. He only failed to get the Preston win to give him a full house.
How have the seasons first 18 games finished? 9 have ended in a win for the hosts, 5 have seen the vistors claim 3 points, and the other 4 have been drawn. The 2-0 is the top result so far with 4. There has only been one 1-1, and surprisingly no 2-1's or 0-1's as of yet.
In the Premier Four good outcomes for blueeagle were enough for him to remain top, and at the same time increase his lead by another point. Up four places into the other Charity Shield spot is oxfcolu after his good Charlton 2-0 prediction. He claims that on the most 3 pointer rule from basher2010, who got three outcomes. Four good outcomes also for thrillseeker, and he moves up a place to fourth, on the first to post rule from ghughes11, who was another to get three outcomes. Two outcomes for unitedwhites drops him three to sixth. Another to have three outcomes in this division was burnsieespana, and he remains seventh. Up a place to eighth is RSCOSWORTH, after he got the Man City 4-1 spot-on. Four good outcomes for Daniel leaves him as they only one still to have a 3 pointer in this division, but it was enough to get him out of the bottom three. The top scoring performance from Sector4 moved him up a couple of places in the relegation zone. The last four Premier titles have been won mfb_cufc and concordman, with two each, but it is the brothers who are currently propping up the rest at this early stage.
In Division One A solid 5 points, that included having the Wigan 1-0 spot-on, keeps BFG top for the second week running. After failing to trouble the scorer in the first week, Blue4U2 also has a solid 5 points, that included getting the Man City 4-1 spot-on, and that was enough to complete his recovery, by moving him up another three places into the other automatic spot. After being in that second spot for the first two weeks, Tropical_Us loses out on the most 3 pointer rule this week, despite having a good four outcomes. A decent 6 points for noah4x4, that included that good Preston 1-0 prediction, moves the pre-season favourite up four places to fourth. Three outcomes for bwildered means he heads a group of three on the first to post rule, as he drops to fifth. Up a place into the final play-off spot is Madeira163, after he had the Man City 4-1 spot-on. Three outcomes for gerry_us, as he loses out on the top six with the same number of points. Three outcomes for durham_exile leaves him a point from the play-offs in eighth. A good four outcomes for Moor_Pinot, to take him to ten for the season, more than anybody in both divisions, also puts him within a point of the play-offs in ninth. A first 3 pointer this season for Lewis_1, the Wigan 1-0, moves him up a couple of places to tenth. Outcomes for wesex_exile, Colukev and Jorash63, leaves them still searching for that elusive first 3 pointer, and they occupy the bottom three places in that order.
