[Premier League]: Review of the last rounds.

in #sports5 years ago

Hello! At the outset, I want to say that the endlessly sympathetic loss of Leicester City. The club confirmed yesterday that the owner of the team, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, died in a helicopter crash. This is a huge loss for the club and for Leicester and for all of England.

So, behind ten rounds, the fourth part of the championship is over, by this time we can already assume who will fight for the championship, and who will fight for a place in the league next year.

Liverpool still leads the Premier League. In the ninth round, Red faced Huddersfield Town, who had previously forced Burnley to fight in their stadium. This time the “terriers” had to withstand the onslaught of one of the leaders and they succeeded. Liverpool could only hit the gates of Jonas Lessl once, Mo Salah managed to do it. After the matches between the national teams, Jürgen Klopp gave a break to the leaders of the attack, and the place of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino was taken by Daniel Sturridge and Xherdan Shaqiri. In the last round, Liverpool was confronted by Cardiff City, who also showed a good game earlier on the tour and was able to defeat Fulham. But this time the Welsh had to go to Enfield, and this is a serious test for any team. By the end of the first 10 minutes, Liverpool took the lead, Mo Salah again distinguished himself. Before the break, the score could and will increase by the efforts of Van Dyck, but in the end at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool almost missed. At the 66th minute, Sadio Mane somewhat reassured fans from Liverpool by making the score 2-0. But after 10 minutes, Callum Paterson played one ball. At the end of the match, a brilliant game in the attack of Mohamed Salah allowed Liverpool to score two more times, Sadio Mane and Xherdan Shaqiri scored a goal.

Moving on, the nearest pursuers of the Mercy Sides - Manchester City and Chelsea have worthily spent the last two rounds. Chelsea faced Manchester United in the ninth round, but despite the fact that the blue ones took the lead in the 21st minute, in the second half their leadership evaporated thanks to two goals by Anthony Martial. And only a goal by Ross Barkley in the 96th minute saved the team from defeat. In the last round, "pensioners" confronted Burnley, who had previously missed five unanswered goals from Man City. But they didn’t perform better on this tour, receiving four goals from Chelsea. Alvaro Morata, Ross Barkley and Willian scored a goal, and the hero of the Champions League match Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed the rout. Man City, as I have said before, dealt with Burnley without any problems, and in the last round, Tottenham won with a score of 0-1. "Spurs" in recent times look very weak. Yesterday I wrote my prediction for the outcome of this match and I was not mistaken.

Arsenal, for the first time since mid-August, lost points, the “gunners” interrupted their 11-game series without defeats and the 7-game series of victories in the Premier League. At the end of the first half, an accurate kick from a penalty kick, Luka Milivojevic, brought the "eagles" ahead, but in the second half, Granit Xhaka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returned the lead in the match to Arsenal. Safe Crystal Palace from the defeat of the next penalty and another accurate shot by Luka Milivojevic.

Well, what surprised us the rest of the team. Wolverhampton, who spoke well before the break in the championship, suffered two consecutive defeats, from Watford in the ninth round and from Brighton in the tenth. It is worth noting that Watford spent these two tours at the highest level and still retains its place among the best clubs in England, ahead of Manchester United. After scoring five goals against Wolverhampton and Huddersfield, the “moose” are in seventh place in the table. Unpleasantly surprised by Southampton, which for the past month can not score a goal. The last two rounds of the "saints" ended with a score of 0-0. At the moment, Southampton is located on the 16th place. In addition to Southampton, Newcastle United shows extremely weak results, who have not yet won a single victory.
