Everton parted ways with Rafa Benitez after just six months in charge, so Musa and Ryan begin by discussing the hiring and firing of Benitez and the goings-on at Goodison Park (4:53). They then round up the Premier League results this weekend (28:24), beginning with the Norwich win that caused Benitez’s sacking, an angry goal and narrative-fueled comeback at Villa Park, Manchester City’s tight win over Chelsea (38:44), and more. Finally, a quick trip to Germany, Italy, and the Spanish Super Cup (47:31).
