Bayern Munich 2-4 Fiorentina

Welcome to tonight's summary of Fiorentina's game, we plan to have an extra long discussion tonight
Why is that Bob?
I could lie, but no, it's because the manager wants us to get to 2000 words tonight
Ah fair enough, should I use lots of elongated superlative words?
No Dave, it's not about how long the words are, it's how many you use, so just talk a lot of shit like usual
Ok Bob, that I can do, I used to be Donald Trumps script writer you know, he was a very nice man, let me use his sunbed and everything.
That's perfect, just what we need Dave, though perhaps we should at least talk about the match
Fair Point Bob, who was playing again?
Fiorentina! you donut, away to Bayern, who were joint top with us, so it was a big game and everything.

So Fiorentina lined up as they did against PSG in the last game, the manager explained he thought long and hard about switching tactics and going for it with a 423P, but decided to start cautiously and make changes if needed. He fully expected Bayern to start E, but decided it was a risk worth taking.
Is that right Bob? Sounds like horseshit to me
Yes, I got it from a reliable source, not HP, before you ask.
Ok, what happened then?
Well it went tits up at first, with Bayern scoring first, but then the tactical changes happened and things went in Fiorentina's favour in the match, even if not tactically, my source says there was s subtle change to the substitution plan for this game too, with St Maximin not being brought on straight away when losing, but being saved for late on when he could make more of an impact.
Sounds like horseshit again Bob.
Well anyway, Fiorentina defenders Estupinan and Karsdorp put the away side in front, before Gnonto hit back to make it 2-2
You're getting me excited now Bob, what happened next?
Well, if you had been paying attention, you'd have noticed what I said about St Maximin, he came on fresh with 20 minutes to go, and kicked arse, scoring two late goals to win the game, and taking home the man of the match ball for only a few minutes work.
Nice Bob, Nice.
The stats that mattered were slightly in Fiorentina's favour, but should have led to a draw more likely, but the luck if you will was with Fiorentina.
So Fiorentina are still top of the league?
Yup, who'd have thought it?

Lens Squander a 1-Goal Lead and Settle for a 1-1 Draw Versus Monaco

In a thrilling encounter at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens and Monaco played out a 1-1 draw in their latest EFL 1 clash. Despite taking an early lead, Lens were unable to secure all three points, as Monaco managed to equalize in the dying moments of the match.

The game started with both teams showing attacking intent, but it was Lens who broke the deadlock in the 28th minute. Alexander Sørloth found the back of the net with a well-placed shot, giving Lens a 1-0 lead. The visitors looked solid defensively, conceding only two shots on target throughout the match.

The result leaves both teams with mixed feelings, as Lens will be disappointed not to have secured the win, while Monaco will be relieved to have salvaged a point in the final moments of the game.
