SHAKHTAR DONETSK 1-1 Real Sociedad

I'm very happy with this result for a few reasons. One, we trailed and fought back and as the tie went on became the stronger side. Two, Sociedad are a much better side than us so to take a point off them is huge for us. Three, we ended the home loss form. We didn't play exuberant football but with the injuries and availabilities we had available we made the most of a game plan with what we have.

We managed to get 2 players rated up which is vital, but expensive for ourselves, might just help a bit more going forward, and increase prices on the unwanted bids on Sudakov.

But we're doing good enough for now, and hopefully we can maintain some form and cling to where we are.

Ajax 1 - 1 Lens

Another point against a stronger opponent. Lens were unlucky to concede an own goal 12 minutes into the match. For the first time we showed an ability to fight back and equalize in the 69th minute with a strike from Martial, his second in as many matches. Ajax has just dropped to 10 men which opened up some space for us. Possession was 55 to 45 in our favor and shots on target were an even 4 a piece. Both teams were stout defensively. Lens move up to 9th on the table which is fantastic. Over the past three matches we've managed to score more than concede which is a proper turn in the right direction.
