ARS 1 - 0 ZUR and CHE 0 - 1 ARS

 We did not look great at home against Zurich, but managed to make Tierney's excellent goal stand up and won the group.  It was a relief to know we won't have that extra knockout round to negotiate.  

What a wonderful performance against Chelsea at the Bridge!  The Gunners were dominant and the three points were richly deserved.  We're still top of the table, barely ahead of Man City.  Newcastle is now 3rd (tip of the hat to goal scorer Joe Willock), Spuds, Chelsea, and Man U all having lost.  It's early days yet so there's no point looking at the table and drawing any conclusions.  Every team is just a couple injuries away from a slump.

I congratulate my co-author on Palace's well-earned three points away at West Ham.  The winner came in the last minute of stoppage time.  Palace is now in the top half and will be far above the relegation zone the rest of the way.  I'm backing Vieira to keep them humming even if Zaha leaves after this year.  They have several good players (Eze, Olise, Edouard) who can score.
