West Bromwich Albion rave about Matheus Pereira's stellar display vs Chelsea  | Sportslens.com

Matheus Pereira and Callum Robinson each scored twice as 19th-placed West Brom inflicted the first defeat of Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea tenure on Saturday.

The Baggies produced a classic Sam Allardyce team performance to displace the hosts who had captain Thiago Silva sent off inside the opening 30 minutes.

“We started really well, we pressed and didn’t sit back. I had three weeks to think about this game and sort the tactics. We said, ‘Let’s go, let’s go challenge them’ and it worked extremely well.”

West Brom manager, Sam Allardyce.

The result means Chelsea are now only two points clear of Liverpool as well as West Ham United, who have a game in hand, while Allardyce’s West Brom move to within seven points of 17th-placed Newcastle.

Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion have contacted West Midlands Police after Republic of Ireland striker Callum Robinson was racially violated on social media after coming off the bench to score twice at Stamford Bridge.

Paris Saint-Germain have fallen three points behind leaders Lille to second place on the table, after Saturday’s match between the pair ended 1-0 in favor of the away side.

Jonathan David, 20, broke the deadlock for Lille from a deflected shot in the 20th minute, leaving PSG desperate for an equalizer.

Tempers soon began to fly with time running out. PSG’s Neymar and Lille’s Tiago Djalo were both shown second yellow cards late on after the latter reacted rashly to a push by his PSG counterpart.

Maurizio Pochettino’s side are now three points behind Christophe Galtier’s, with only seven games before the end of the season.

Manchester City Manager Explains “Impossible” Financial Demands Could Hinder The Club In Bid To Land Aguero Replacement This Summer

Champions League: Pep Guardiola Is All Praise For The 'New Kid On The Block'

City are in search of a new striker this summer after announcing that the club’s all time highest goal scorer Sergio Aguero will leave the Etihad at the expiration of his contract this summer, but manager Pep Guardiola believes they could be put off by “impossible” financial demands.

Guardiola, whose City side have been linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland, said:

“I don’t know what is going to happen but at these prices we are not going to buy any striker.

“It’s impossible. We cannot afford it. All the clubs are struggling financially, us as well.

“Today there is more chance we will not buy a striker next season.”
