Jordan, Amartey, Salisu, All Play Full Time For Clubs But Taste Defeat As EPL Returns After World Cup

Black Stars players, Jordan Ayew, Daniel Amartey and Mohammad Salisu returned to their parent clubs in England after exiting from the Qatar 2022 World Cup following the group stage unprogressive performances.

Jordan Ayew operated on the right side of the wings for Crystal Palace but failed to score, provide an assist or help his club secure a point against Fulham.

Goals from Bobby Reid in the 31st minute, Tim Ream in the 71st minute and Aleksander Mitrovic in the 80th minute helped Fulham to secure a 3:0 win against 10-man Crystal Palace. 

Tyrick Mitchell from Crystal Palace committed a reckless foul against Fulham’s Kenny Tete to concede a red card in the 34th minute.

Daniel Amartey operated on the right side of central defense for Leicester City but was not formidable enough to prevent Newcastle United from scoring. 

Leicester City lost by 3:0, meaning Newcastle have suffered just one defeat in their opening 16 games of the season.

There is a long way to go and it remains tough whether the Magpies have the strength and quality to keep pace with Thomas Partey’s Arsenal at the top of the league table.

Even though they lost, Mohammed Salisu’s side, Southampton were able to pull one goal back to make it 3:1 as Tariq Lamptey’s Brighton & Hove Albion carried the day.

Tariq Lamptey was an unused substitute for his side who won by two goals margin (3:1).

The performances of the Black Stars players in the EPL this week, can not be considered as top notch.
