Results summary
Results by matchday In this table the position of team is updated after every matchday. Results of postponed matches are not included in the round which they were originally scheduled, but the position is being updated at the round where the match was played chronologically. For example, the match against AEL for 6th round postponed and reprogrammed between round 10 and round 11 so the position (after the win) was updated in 10th round
