In a surprising turn of events, Evian emerged victorious against PSG with a score of two goals to nil. The goals came in the 75th minute from C. N’Sikulu and Senegalese player Modou Sougou, shaking up the French championship.
This unexpected result means that Lille, following their recent victory against OM, is now just one point behind PSG in the standings.
Meanwhile, Yaya Touré’s Manchester City secured a 2-0 victory against West Bromwich Albion, with goals from S. Agüero in the 9th minute and Y. Touré in the 24th minute.
In the English championship, Luis Suarez put on a remarkable performance, scoring four goals for Liverpool against Norwich City in the 15th, 29th, 35th, and 75th minutes. R. Sterling added a fifth goal for Liverpool in the 89th minute, while B. Johnson scored for Norwich City in the 83rd minute.
Despite the defeat, Yaya Touré remains a standout player, being the only African named for the team of the year revealed by l’Equipe. He is also nominated in two categories of the Africa Top Awards, although he faces tough competition, including a surprise win by Natnael Berhane in one of the categories.
