West Ham (5th) came back (2-1) this Friday to Leeds (14th) led by Argentine Marcelo Bielsa and brushed fourth place that gives access to the Champions League, in a match corresponding to the 12th day of the Premier League.
Leeds took the lead in their penalty area with a goal from Mateusz Klich (6). However, the ‘Hammers’ would soon spoil the party for the locals, and Tomas Soucek (25) tied the game. With just a few minutes left, Angelo Ogbonna (80) gave the visitors the win with a header from inside the area.
West Ham, one of the Premier League surprises of the season, placed 5th with 20 points after this victory, one behind Leicester (4th) but tied with Southampton (6th).
The Bielsa team, meanwhile, continues to fall in the rankings after a good start to the championship and is already 14th with 14 units, waiting for what the rest of the teams do throughout the weekend.
The highlight of the 12th round of the English league is the Manchester derby between United and City (17h30 GMT). The ‘Red Devils’, seventh, want to make amends after being eliminated from the Champions League on Tuesday. On their side, those of Pep Guardiola, eighth, need to add three by three after leaving many points in this Premier start.
Leading Tottenham visits Crystal Palace (11th) on Sunday (14:15 GMT) and Liverpool, second with the same points as Spurs, goes (16:30 GMT) to Fulham Stadium (17th).
