MUST PROMOTE FOOTBALL IN INDIA

-

Finally, the English Premier League (EPL) has come to an end and Liverpool is the worthy winner. Though the 100-day break with nine matches each pending did affect the performanc­e of many teams, Leicester City maintained the third position throughout but lost their rhythm and finished fifth. The performanc­e of Chelsea was noteworthy. They were barred from hiring new recruits but finished fourth and qualified for the Champions League. Besides establishe­d stars from the top teams, many players from lower teams also performed exceedingl­y well. Jack Grealish (Aston Villa), Troy Deeney (Watford) and Richarliso­n (Everton) performed very well. Jamie

Vardy deserved the Golden Boot and Ederson rightly won the Golden Glove. Watching the EPL will surely help promote Indian football.
