good morning !
We’re going to spend our Monday checking out some pictures from around the Premier League. Usually I like to select what I think are the “best” photos, but this time I’m going to focus on a couple other ones.

Gary O’Neil’s final game with Wolves
This is one of the final photos taken of Gary O’Neil before Wolves sacked him on Sunday. His dismissal came after a 1-2 loss against Ipswich. I was texting one of my friends who is an avid Wolves support, and I asked him why the club waited so long. He told me Wolves should’ve sacked him after that loss (and three penalties conceded) to Bournemouth.
Where do Wolves go from here? Probably the Championship.
Palace beat Brighton
This is a result I was not expecting. Crystal Palace beat Brighton away.
Palace are now unbeaten in their last five games (2-3-0) and picked up points against City, Newcastle and Villa.
Forest defeat Villa
What a terrific result for Nuno’s Nottingham Forest.
The Reds defeated Villa 2-1 on Saturday with goals from Nikola Milenkovic and Anthony Elanga. The pic you see is Elanga’s celebration after he scored the game winning goal in extra time.
That win puts Forest in fourth place (!!!) in the league.
