JOEY BARTON ANNOUNCES EPL RETURN WITH A BANG

Erstwhile Premier League bad boy, Joey Barton who made a surprise return to the league last week announced his second coming at Burnley with a match-winning goal that sparked pandemonium.

Being introduced into the game in the 73rd minute after both sides could not settle the fight. His first touch prevented Shane Long from opening the scoring for Southampton, an inconsequential second touch followed and then came a 25- yard free-kick with his third touch, this became the defining moment of game.

Burnley may sit 10^thplace yet their travails away from home allow for reservations over their continuity in the league to linger. This therefore stressed the significance of Joey Barton’s addition to a wage bill of around £40 million, as comparable as a snowball in the Alps in top flight terms. (more…)

Of English players in the league this term, his six goals and six assists stats ensures he is the best performing Three Lions player. His stats in the visit to Middlesbrough is his third this season and no other player has done more than him this term – scoring a brace and getting an assist in the same game. (more…)
