Scott Parker Leads Fulham Back
Scott Parker on his way back to the Premier League
I reactivated my DAZN subscription tonight to watch Fulham v Brentford in the EFL Championship Play-off Final. And it was worth the money.
The Cottagers, managed by ex-West Ham star Scott Parker (three time Hammer of the Year 2009-2011), beat Brentford 2-1 AET and made an immediate return to the Premier League due to two extra time goals from left- back Joe Bryan.
Bryan, an unlikely hero for Fulham, gained them promotion to the Premier League with the first brace of his career. His first goal came from a brilliantly taken 40-yard-free-kick which caught Brentford’s goalkeeper off guard, and the second from a one-two with Fulham’s top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic inside the box (below). Brentford could only pull one back in injury time before the final whistle sparked jubilant celebrations from Fulham!
Joe Bryan on his first goal: “Scott (Parker) told me to whip it near post, that was for my dad, he used to give me the eyes when he made me go in goal.”
Britons Flee UK By Thousands
Well, I am quite sad that it has been impossible to travel to the UK for months because of the virus. But it seems many of the people living there are happy to leave their country for Europe. The Guardian reports that the UK has seen an exodus of its citizens since Brexit.
Jonathan Coe‘s novel “Middle England” ends with the emigration of its main character to the South of France. But that’s not just fiction, it seems to be true.
The number of British nationals emigrating to other EU countries has risen by 30% since the Brexit referendum, to a level akin to a country experiencing “economic or political crisis”, experts have found.
