The result leaves the Saints in the relegation zone, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\">with the south coast outfit now one of the favourites to suffer relegation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Hughes side actually took the lead on 17 minutes. Cedric managed enough space down the right to cross into the box and striker Shane Long got in ahead of Shkodran Mustafi at the near post to poke past Petr Cech. The goal was only the forwards second in 48 games for club and country.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors look relatively comfortable until the home side equalised on 28 minutes, as striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stretched to finish after good play from Danny Welbeck. The home side took the lead on 38 minutes, as Welbeck cut inside from the left flank and saw his effort from 18 yards deflected past Alex McCarthy off defender Maya Yoshida.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors equalised on 73 minutes. Striker Charlie Austin had appeared from the bench just seconds earlier and made an instant impact scoring from close-range after another good Cedric cross.<\/p>\n<p>Welbeck missed a guilt-edge chance before heading the Gunners into the lead on 81 minutes with a back post header from an Alex Iwobi cross. That was the end of the scoring, but not the end of the drama, as in stoppage-time both teams had a player apiece dismissed. Saints defender Jack Stephens received a straight red for a clash with Jack Wilshere. Soon afterwards, the Gunners were reduced to ten men, after pushing Cedric.<\/p>\n<p>The win means that the Gunners head into Thursday night\u2019s Europa League quarter-final second leg against CSKA Moscow on the back of six consecutive wins in all competitions. The visitors have just six games to preserve their Premier League status.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/chelsea-vs-west-ham\/373420\">Hammers battle to draw at Stamford Bridge<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>West Ham boosted their survival hopes slightly with a battling 1-1 draw at London rivals Chelsea. The result just adds to pressure on Blues boss Antonio Conte, whose future in the capital has been questioned of late.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea took the lead on 36 minutes through an unlikely source. Full-back Cesar Azpilicueta got on the end of a flick-on by Alvaro Morata. The latter saw a goal ruled out for offside in the second period and it got worse for the home side on 73 minutes when the visitors equalised. Marko Arnautovic found Javier Hernandez, whose powerful effort beat Thibaut Courtois in the home goal.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham goalkeeper Joe Hart produced two top saves in the last ten minutes from Marcos Alonso and Olivier Giroud. The Manchester City loanee helped the Hammers hold on to a point that moves them six points clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chelsea\u2019s hopes of claiming a Champions League spot look to be gone, as Conte\u2019s side are now ten points behind fourth-place Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Can Southampton still survive the drop?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last Premier League games of the weekend saw Southampton\u2019s hopes of survival dashed, while West Ham won a hard-fought point at reigning champions Chelsea.

Nugent\"},\"description\":\"First off, I want to say hi and wish a warm welcome to all gambling aficionados out there! My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Premier League Gameweek 33 review part two -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/premier-league-gameweek-33-review-part-two\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Premier League Gameweek 33 review part two -","og_description":"The last Premier League games of the weekend saw Southampton\u2019s hopes of survival dashed, while West Ham won a hard-fought point at reigning champions Chelsea.

Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/Nuge1983"],"url":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/author\/david-nugent\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6634\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
