English Premier League Football ChampionLiverpool“Unable to win on his field on Saturday, London’s” Chelsea “were devastated by the guests, but Norwich’s” City “said goodbye to the league after the collapse.
Liverpool allowed Burnley to play back and draw 1: 1 (1: 0).
This hampered Liverpool’s attempt to set a new league record. The team led by Jürgen Klop is following the Manchester City’s 2018 achievement of 100 points, but the champions can still do so by winning the remaining three games of the season. Liverpool now have 93 points, while the remaining three matches are against London’s Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as Newcastle’s United.
Liverpool took the lead in the 34th minute when Andrew Robertson sent Fabinju with a header in the far corner.
The home side worked hard to get through the middle and as a result, had a good chance of getting one back as Robert Firmin tried lifting the ball over keeper.
Liverpool paid for a penalty 69 minutes into the match, but James Tarkovski fired a shot from distance after 1 minutes, but the long shot couldn’t find the net for Alison Becker.
Moreover, Johans Gudmundson from Iceland could have put the guests one up after 88 minutes after chasing a through ball from the right, but his shot hit the post.
It was the first time since January 2019 that Liverpool failed to win a home game in the Premier League.
Burnley’s point, on the other hand, gave him higher hopes for participating in the European Cups next season. With 50 points in 35 matches, the club is two points behind the seventh place taken by Wolverhampton’s “Wanderers”. True, competitors have a match in reserve.
In another game after a 0: 4 (0: 2) loss to their home against Westham United, the City of Norwich said goodbye to the Premier League for at least one season.
The big day was Michael Antonio, who scored all four goals – in the 11th, 45th + 1, 54th and 74th minute.
City’s seventh loss in a row meant a loss of theoretical prospects and relegation from the Premier League. The remaining three games are not enough to make up the 13-point deficit to 17th place, and City will return to the bottom of the Premier League again after one season.
As a result, the “canaries” have reached a new league record, leaving the league for the fifth time to go down the division. They had previously done so in 1995, 2005, 2014 and 2016.
“We wanted to prolong our prospects, but the result is more or less as expected. It does not reduce our frustration in any way, ”said Daniel Farke, the head coach of the home team.
“From the first day after entering the Premier League, our chances of survival were maybe five percent, so in 19 out of 20 cases we had to fall. Only if you are lucky and there are no injuries, you have a chance, ”explained the German specialist. “When we’re 100 percent ready, we’re competitive, but when we’re 96 or 97 percent, sometimes they look like boys against men. That’s what I expected. ”
Meanwhile, Westham United’s second victory in the last four games is a huge reflection of the hopes of keeping a place in the league. With 34 points, David Mojes’ team is six points ahead of 18th place owner Bournemouth, who have a match in reserve.
Watford also improved their chances of surviving and staying in the league, beating Newcastle United 2: 1 (0: 1) on their field and also scoring 34 points.
The home team responded to Dwight Gail’s exact broadcast in the 23rd minute with two 11-meter penalties taken by Troy Dinny in the 52nd and 82nd minute of the match.

Irish goalkeeper David McGoldrick scored two goals in the 18th and 77th minutes of the home team’s match, but in the 33rd minute, Scott’s goalkeeper Oliver McBernie voted for him with another “goal”.
Three rounds before the end of the championship, “United” climbed to the sixth place with 54 points, which gives the right to play in the European League group tournament next season. The Sheffield club also retains a theoretical chance to overtake Chelsea, which has six points and third place in the table.
