Liverpool drew (3-3) this Wednesday with Newcastle and saw its cushion at the top of the Premier reduced, after the victories of Chelsea and Arsenal and the end of Manchester City’s bad streak, which won (3-0 ) to Nottingham Forest.
Arne Slot’s men, who had one draw in the last 16 games and the rest victories, saw the three points escape in the 90th minute with Fabian Schar’s 3-3. The local defender cut short the ‘red’ comeback at St. James’ Park with a poor start by goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher in a foul in the area.
A great goal from Alexander Isak opened the scoring for Newcastle after half an hour and, despite Curtis Jones’ equalizer at the start of the second half, Anthony Gordon once again put the ‘magpies’ ahead. The entry of Trent Alexander-Arnold and a superlative Mohamed Salah put fear in the rival’s body and signed the comeback of the leader in a double for the Egyptian.
Schar’s faith, from the ground and without an angle, gave excitement to the Premier and stopped Slot’s team. Thus, Liverpool remains in the lead with 35 points, compared to Chelsea and Arsenal’s 28. Enzo Maresca’s men thrashed (1-5) a Southampton that was left with 10 due to the red card against Stephens, when they were already 1-3 at half-time. Cole Palmer did not miss his appointment with the goal for a ‘blue’ team that is different this year.
Meanwhile, Arsenal beat Manchester United (2-0) with goals from Jurrien Timber and a lucky William Saliba, both in the second half. Mikel Arteta’s team took advantage of the corner kick to triumph at the Emirates and keep pace with the candidates. The ‘red devils’ suffered their first defeat with Ruben Amorim with work ahead of him from eleventh position.
On the other hand, City came out of Pep Guardiola’s worst streak as coach, seven games without winning in all competitions, to add 26 points led by Kevin De Bruyne who returned to the starting lineup two months later. The Belgian assisted Bernardo Silva at 1-0 and scored the second at 2-0 in the first half. Jeremy Doku scored the goal in the 57th minute.
A quiet afternoon at the Etihad Stadium for a City that had lost four in a row in the Premier League and is also reducing its intention to defend the English league that it has won the last four years and in six of the last seven seasons. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa also ended their particular bad moment, eight games without winning, with a 3-1 victory over Brentford that got them back on track with the three goals already in the first half. The ‘villains’ thus close to the European zone of the table with 22 points.
