D2: Spurs Up And Running, Espanyol Up To Third (Matchday 7)
ESPANYOL BEAT HAMBURG, UP TO THIRD!
Muller and Senesi were on target as Espanyol deservedly beat Hamburg 2-1
We mixed it up a little tonight showing our versatility though we should probably have won more comfortably. They attack you from the first minute, and we adjusted things to combat that, given our young defence. Pleased to put the points on the board and keep our mini unbeaten run going.
Glen Mullan (RCD Espanyol)
Well played, Glen. Half expected a drubbing, so not to disappointed with the scoreline.
David Marsden (Hamburger SV)

Beddows reveals all!
Super Samp boss speaks to media
Overall 5 points from 4 games isnt too bad but tomorrow is HUGE! We have lots of fitness concerns and a winnable cup tie on Tuesday - a cup run is something that is mega important to this clubs culture, ethos and history - as such expect wholesale changes ahead of tomorrow.

Keeley predicts 2-0 home win
Palace welcome Mönchengladbach to Selhurst Park this evening looking to add to the point picked up in Koln on Thursday. The home side look to be at full strength, the main issue will be who starts up front, unhappy Sorloth or in form Suarez, big decision.
⍟Greg Bilboaツ (Crystal Palace)
Looks like a home win maybe 2-0, good luck.
⭐️Ken Keeley⭐️ (Borussia Mönchengladbach)
Palace take all three points against Mönchengladbach
Sorloth brace wins it, Borussia manager Keeley mired in betting scandal
A game that could easily have gone either way. The 3 points take us to 10th, however a tough trip to Zenit is up next for the Eagles.
⍟Greg Bilboaツ (Crystal Palace)
Playing a stronger team at their gaff I was expecting a 2 goal loss and that’s how it turned out. No goals in two now with our only scorer, Belotti, off target with a few chances so that’s a worry No other players scoring is also a worry. Stats fairly equal so maybe we were a little unlucky.

Our easiest match so far this season, that's also 3 wins on the spin as we move up into 2nd. Our defence was outstanding as they didn't have a shot on target.

Ajax win narrow victory over Cruzeiro
Holding red card suspension for next game
We showed remarkable composure as we soaked up all the pressure thrown our way. And when opportunities arose we were clinical up front with Zaniolo scoring the only goal of the game. A big loss for the next game however as Rob Holding gets a red card.
