The first half was all Chelsea. Chelsea had many opportunities to take the lead an but they couldn’t find the net. Chelsea were dominating the possession stats but their defence were sometimes getting hurt by Manchester United’s pacy attackers. Manchester United had their midfield to blame again, not connecting enough with their attack.

The first goal of the game was against the run of tide, with Jadon Sancho capitalizing on Jorginho’s miscontrol of the ball. The goal was coolly finished with Jadon taking his time before finishing instead of passing it to Marcus Rashford. The second half like the first, featured more of Chelsea despite them being down one.

Jorginho’s chance for redemption came in the 70th minute, when Chelsea were awarded a lifeline after United defender Aaron Wan Bissaka kicked Thiago Silva in the box. The Italian midfielder converted his penalty, equalizing the score and salvaging Chelsea a point. The game ended in a draw with both set of fans wanting more from their teams.

That train guy from TikTok is apparently also a singer and the internet is loving it

Nov 28 2021

The ever-iconic British train-spotting legend known only as ‘Francis Bourgeois’ became somewhat of an internet sensation thanks to his series of videos in which he exhibits a pure sense of joy and genuine happiness whilst train-spotting. The 20-year-old engineering student gained thousands of fans for his reactions to all that is rail-related, with many Britons calling him a ‘national treasure’ for his pure, child-like reaction to his passion of trains.

However, there seems to be more to this social media enigma that meets the eye, after a fan recently noticed a Spotify link in his Instagram bio to a song on Spotify. The song named ‘Whatley Quarry’ by artist ‘Boggy Can’ is a funky yet melancholic tune which is all about a quarry in Somerset.

The quarry supplies limestone aggregate to local markets via road and a dedicated rail link, so its no surprise why our train-spotting friend would be inspired to write such a piece.
