MADRID, 6 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester United gave up a draw (3-3) against Everton on matchday 23 of the Premier, when they were already looking for the lead, while Arsenal conceded a new setback (1-0) against Aston Villa.
The ‘red devils’ failed in the fight for the lead, which will keep City whatever they do at Anfield on Sunday. Solskjaer’s men went 2-0 at halftime with a header from Cavani, a measured center from Rashford, and a shoe from Bruno Fernandes.
Ancelotti’s men reacted at the restart with Doucoure, who took advantage of a poor clearance by David de Gea, and James. United withstood the blow and went ahead again through McTominay, but beyond the discount, in the 95th minute, Calvert-Lewin embittered a United that remains with 45 points for City’s 47.
In addition, Arsenal conceded a new defeat against an Aston Villa better positioned than the ‘Gunners’ in the table with 35 points, the same that they added last season. A goal from Watkins after two minutes was enough to bring another smile to the ‘villains’.
A steal by Traoré made it 1-0 for Watkins, fortunately after bouncing off Holding in a bitter debut from goalkeeper Ryan. In the final stretch was when Arsenal squeezed the most, with two losses and a draw in the last three days, with 31 points.
On the other hand, West Ham left their European position in the air with a 0-0 against Fulham that marks the relegation. In addition, this Saturday brought a new disappointment for Southampton, after their historic defeat (9-0) against United, surpassed (3-2) by Newcastle. Meanwhile, Burnley got a point (1-1) against Brighton.
