MADRID, 16 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester City lost a draw (2-2) against Crystal Palace due to a penalty in the 95th minute to extend their crisis in the Premier, on a matchday 17 that brought this Saturday the reaction of Newcastle and Chelsea, in addition to the scare of Tom Lockyer in Bournemouth.
The English champion struggled at home in a delicate moment, in which it has only one victory in the last six Premier games, after going 2-0. Jack Grealish scored the first in the 24th minute and participated in the second, along with the Spanish Rodrigo, from Rico Lewis already in the second half.
However, Palace found the back of the home defense in the 76th minute to close the gap through Mateta. Pep Guardiola’s team couldn’t finish the job and were left with a poker face on a rude penalty from Phil Foden that Michael Olise converted to make it 2-2.
In this way, painfully and in the 95th minute, City continues its poor dynamics in the Premier, with 34 points and waiting to see if Liverpool (37), Arsenal (36) and Aston Villa (35) move away this Sunday.
On the other hand, Chelsea won a needy duel against bottom team Sheffield United (2-0), after its coach, Mauricio Pochettino, appeared confident in the preview of the ‘blue’ team’s ability to grow. Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson scored the goals at Stamford Bridge, with which Chelsea stopped their fall to mid-table.
In the same way, Newcastle came out of their league slump, in addition to being eliminated from the Champions League, with a win (3-0) against a Fulham that played with 10 from the 22nd minute, thus seeing fourth place within five points. Lewis Miley, 17 years old, Miguel Almirón and Dan Burn brought calm to Eddie Howe’s team, with the goals in the second half, taking advantage of Raúl Jiménez’s red card.
Furthermore, in the duel that closed the day this Saturday, Everton continued with its reaction to move away from the relegation zone with a 0-2 victory over Burnley, who remains second to last. Amadou Onana and Michael Keane scored the goals in the first half, the fourth successive victory for Sean Dyche’s side.
On the other hand, the day in English football was marked by the scare experienced at Bournemouth – Luton, when the captain of the visitors, Tom Lockyer, suffered cardiac arrest in the middle of the match. The Welsh player, who had undergone heart surgery for another collapse in May, collapsed and was carried off on a stretcher. Despite the moments of tension and the suspension of the match, Lockyer left the field already conscious and from the hospital, Luton reported that the player is stable.
