After the holidays, Chelsea and Liverpool offered us a draw but mostly crazy (2-2) this Sunday, as part of the 21st day of Premier League. In the end, a draw does not help anyone… except City, who are now leading the league by 10 and 11 points respectively. The Blues and the Reds have a game in hand.
On the first of January, the Gunners have more or less done things by halves: sometimes brilliant in the first half, the Londoners quickly found themselves down after the break following Gabriel’s expulsion. It was a bad idea: after equalising from the penalty spot, the Sky Blues froze the Emirates by scoring at the buzzer through Rodri.
At Stamford Bridge, Sadio Mané quickly gave the Reds the lead after dribbling past Edouard Mendy in the box (9th). And twenty minutes later, Mohamed Salah doubled the lead with a small personal exploit (26th)! Stamford Bridge has died down, but Thomas Tuchel’s men have not lowered their heads. Especially not Mateo Kovacic, who raised his head high to see the ball and send a sublime volley into Caoimhin Kelleher’s goal (42nd).
Tottenham wins on the line at Watford. The Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez released Spurs in the extra time. Thanks to its late win at Watford (0-1), Tottenham has regained the top 4 in the Premier League. It was Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez, author of his first away for Spurs, who offered the victory to the Londoners.
Leading 3-0 at half-time in this London derby, West Ham played with fire but the Hammers finally won (3-2) on the ground of Crystal Palace this Saturday for the 21st day of Premier League. After back-to-back goals from Antonio (22nd) and Lanzini (26th), the second named player thought he had done it by scoring from the penalty spot (45th+5th) to give himself a double before the break.
