For a whole month, football fans around the world were glued to the television screens and religiously watched the World Cup matches in Qatar.
After Leo Messi and his friends achieved the coveted trophy, now throughout Europe they are starting to return to normal with the league games, a sharp transition that no one has experienced until today in the history of football.
The first major league to return to activity is the Premier League which today (Monday) reopened with an exciting Boxing Day round when the first game we got was a small London derby between Brentford and Tottenham.
Thomas Frank's dangerous gang has already proven quite a bit in the past how powerful it is and today it continued with this approach.
Vitali Yanlet (15) and Ivan Toni (54) gave her a promising lead and it seemed that they were on their way to get 3 valuable points against the Roosters, quite a few of her players returned bent from the World Cup, including captain Harry Kane and midfielder Emil Hoiberg.

Fortunately for Antonio Conte, he managed to get an important point in the battles for the place in the first four when Kane (65) and Huyberg (71) were the ones who brought him back into the game and once again came back from behind, as happened to them several times this season.
In the next round on the first day of 2023, Tottenham will meet Aston Villa at home, while Brentford will already play on Friday away against West Ham.
