Beating teams above us in the Prem

Post by clarethead » Mon Jan 20, 2020 3:34 pm

Was that the first time we beat a team higher than us in the league this season? It seems like it.

A great result and a really good performance.

I don't think Liverpool have beaten many teams above them this season, either?

In fact we've beaten more teams above us (4) than below us (3) if you don't count Saints on the opening day as everyone was equal

I'm sure that if all other things are equal then alphabetically is applied ;) if not, as we start with a "B" it should be :D

The only way to beat more teams above us to lose more games!

Would prefer at the moment to concentrate on beating those below us. beating anyone above is a welcome bonus.

The viaduct?
Is the Leicester win the first we've achieved after being behind?

This season yes, but we beat Bournemouth 3-1 last year after being 1-0 down. And I think I’m right in saying it’s the only game we’ve won this season when we’ve conceded a goal.

I think I am right in saying we hit around 30 games under Dyche of going behind and not winning until we beat Everton at home 2-1 a couple of years ago.
