EPL: Five Star United Maul Leeds As The Premier League Returns In Full Force By Omolagba Oluwayemi The thrills, the excitement, the feelings, the goals, the cheers, all made their ways back to the stadium as the 2021/222 English Premier League season returned, BSNSports.com.ng reports. For a very long time, football had been played without fans in the stadiums due to the ravaging corona virus pandemic but it was a joy to behold as fans made a return in full capacity to the stadiums. Of-course you cannot separate football from fans and right from the blast of the whistle on Friday in the match between newly promoted Brentford and Arsenal, we knew we've missed a lot without them.

Amid a celebratory atmosphere for Brentford's first top-flight game since 1947, and the first in front of a full house at their new stadium, the Bees took the lead as Sergi Canos caught out Bernd Leno with a flashed, near-post effort from 15 yards in the 22nd minute. Arsenal rallied briefly in the second half but failed to find a leveller, and found themselves 2-0 down through Christian Norgaard's header following poor defending from a long throw with 17 minutes remaining. The excitement continued on Saturday and it was at the theatre of dreams as Manchester United mauled Leeds United 5-1 with Paul Pogba creating 4 assists in the afternoon why Bruno Fernandes scored a hat-trick of goals.
