Everton - Liverpool 2-2

Red cards, leg-breaking tackles, some great finishes, and a big VAR controversy to to top it all off in the final minute.

Celtic - Rangers 0-2
A changing of the guard in Scotland

Inter - Milan 22' 0-2
Ibrahimovic with a brace. So, are Milan title contenders this year? Elsewhere, high-flying Atalanta got demolished 4-1 in Napoli

Everton - Liverpool 2-2
I predicted 2-3 so was a bit peeved to see Henderson's goal chalked off
-- I do not see how that was offside. Level at worst.

The evil milivella-MH controlled VAR denies me a clear win in UPT. Or maybe not, my first pick is Lazio?

Not that that is going much better...

I thought I had picked Everton, but I can see now that I did not repick
after Milivella rectified his faux pas. I leave it to the gamesmaster
to sort that out. Though it might not need any sorting out...

Two VAR controversies. First Pickford inexplicably doesn't get red for kicking the shit out of van Dijk so badly that he may have an ACL issues for months. Then an unbelievable offside call. To top it all off, it appears that Richarlison injured Thiago as well on his red card challenge. These animals belong in a cage, away from humans.
Celtic - Rangers 0-2
A changing of the guard in Scotland
Scotland still has a domestic league?
Inter - Milan 22' 0-2
Ibrahimovic with a brace. So, are Milan title contenders this year? Elsewhere, high-flying Atalanta got demolished 4-1 in Napoli
For someone like Conte who is always complaining and has now signed 300 players for Inter, there are no more excuses. Win the title or be fired.

More VAR controversy in the Milano derby. Ref initially gives Inter a penalty for what looked like a nothing challenge by Donnarumma on Lukaku. VAR calls it back because Lukaku was in an offside position, even though he had been played through by a Kjaer touch. But it wasn't an intentional "playing the ball", so offside.

A very entertaining first half was followed by a brutal and choppy second.

88', 2-1 Milan

FT: 2-1

One big chance for Lukaku in injury time, and he almost scores with a backheel from inside the six-yard box on the last kick of the game, but it's straight at Donnarumma's chest.

Lukaku has been an absolute beast for Inter, defenders just bounce off of him. He couldn't get the win for Inter today, but I still see Inter as the more likely title contender.

Inter's ladies will have the chance to avenge that tomorrow (unlikely, Milan's women's team is by far the better side)

Unforgivable by Pickford (MH's Fantasy Scout pick). He should lose his job as a starter for the NT (not that he's that good anyway...)

I keep forgetting what the EPL post game FA rules are "today", but, if
according to what I've read so far, VAR only reviewed the offside call,
and the CR didn't do anything about Pickford's foul, can't the FA issue
a suspension ex post facto?
