Manchester United still humiliated, Chelsea impresses, Liverpool gives a lesson to Arsenal (4-0). In the standings, Klopp’s men have climbed to 2nd place, 4 points behind the leader, Chelsea. On the other hand, Arsenal is in 5th position. Although undefeated in the Premier League since August 28, Arsenal fell heavily on the ground of Liverpool (0-4) this Saturday during the 12th day.
The Reds won logically and widely against an outdated Arsenal team, despite an incredible Ramsdale. The road between Arsenal and the best teams is still long, while Liverpool has temporarily taken the second place of the Premier League. After a tense start marked by a collision between Klopp and Arteta, the Reds opened the game with Mané’s goal (39th) before the break. Afterwards, Liverpool scored with Jota (52nd), Salah (74th) and Minamino (77th).
The Red Devils sink again!
With this defeat, Manchester United stagnates in the standings and is now in 7th place in the Premier League. Watford, with 13 points, moves a little bit away from the red zone.
Manchester United has been struggling in the last few weeks and was humiliated at Watford’s place (1-4) in the Premier League. Totally down at the beginning of the game, United were saved by De Gea, author of a great save on a penalty from Sarr, before cracking on goals from King (28th) and Sarr (44th). After the break, United reacted with a goal by van de Beek (50th), served by Ronaldo, but this revolt was annihilated by the expulsion of Maguire (69th). Then, in the last moments, Pedro (90+1) and Dennis (90+5) sealed MU’s defeat, the one too many for Solskjaer?
The future of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems to be more than uncertain at the head of Manchester United. A few hours after the Red Devils’ crushing defeat at Watford (4-1), an emergency meeting was called to discuss the dismissal of the Norwegian coach.
The leader Chelsea impresses!
In superb form, Chelsea outclassed Leicester (3-0) in the Premier League. Rüdiger (14th), Kanté (28th) and Pulisic (71st) gave the Blues a well-deserved victory. With this victory, the Blues strengthen their first place with 29 points in 12 Premier League games. Leicester, on the other hand, is sinking deeper and deeper into the crisis and is in twelfth place with 15 points.
Wolves topple West Ham, villa gets Gerrard’s first
West Ham fell back a step before Sunday’s Manchester City-Everton match after losing at Wolverhampton (1-0). The Wolves found the breakthrough against the Hammers thanks to Raúl Jiménez at the end of a beautiful collective action just before the hour.
The main event of this Saturday afternoon was the first time Steven Gerrard was on the Aston Villa bench. In a game against Brighton, he found the breakthrough in the 84th minute through Ollie Watkins, who was clear at the end of his rush, before Tyrone Mings made the break (90th). The Villans are breathing easy (15th place), and are back to winning ways after five straight defeats.
