Liverpool drew 2:2 at West Ham and after Wednesday’s loss to Everton (0:2) they hesitated again in the fight for the English league title. Vladimír Coufal played the entire match for the home team, Tomáš Souček substituted in the 74th minute. Sheffield United lost 1-5 at Newcastle and became the first relegated, Manchester United only drew 1-1 with Burnley at home. On Sunday, Arsenal managed a thrilling London derby and won 2:3 at Tottenham. This created pressure on City, who are awaiting the end of the round in Nottingham.
Newcastle United beat Sheffield United 5-1 at home to seal the visitors’ relegation from the Premier League. Alexander Isak scored twice, Guimaraes and Wilson added one goal each, and Osborn scored an own goal. Sheffield only spent one season in the top flight.
In Manchester, the score did not change until the 79th minute, when Antony took advantage of a mistake in the visitors’ play and netted his first league goal of the season. However, the “Red Devils” could not keep the lead. In the 86th minute, goalkeeper Onana, while trying to box out a high ball, hit striker Amdouni in the face, who subsequently converted the awarded penalty himself. United are one point ahead of seventh-placed Newcastle.
Everton beat Brentford 1-0 at home thanks to Gueye’s goal and secured their participation in the Premier League for next year as well. Sean Dyche’s men won for the third time in a row and lost just once in the whole of April.
Thanks to three goals in the first half, Arsenal’s players beat Tottenham 3:2 in the North London derby on their field, and they have a four-point lead over second-placed Manchester City at the top of the English league. City have played two games less and will take on struggling Nottingham in the early evening. Fifth-placed Tottenham are seven points adrift of the Champions League places, but have played two games less than fourth-placed Aston Villa.
Arsenal took the lead in the 15th minute thanks to an own goal by Höjbjerg, who headed Saka’s corner kick into his own net. The home team responded with increased activity, which resulted in Van de Ven hitting the post and equalizing, but VAR eventually revealed a close offside. Instead, the visitors took a two-goal lead in the 27th minute when Saka headed home from the break. The English winger scored his fifteenth goal of the season and broke his personal record from last season.
Seven minutes before halftime, the guests were already leading by three goals. Again they got through from the corner, this time Havertz directed the ball into the net. The Gunners have already scored 16 goals from corner kicks this season and equaled West Bromwich’s record from the 2016/17 season.
In the second half, Tottenham reduced thanks to a huge mistake by the goalkeeper Raya, who encouraged the home defender Romero to score with a pass. Son Hung-min scored a dramatic finish in the 87th minute with a converted penalty, but Spurs failed to equalize.
