ENGLAND. PRIME LEAGUE, 36th TOUR APRIL 28, 2018 14:30 Liverpool 0: 0 Stoke City 17:00 Burnley 0: 0 Brighton & Hove 17:00 Crystal Palace 5: 0 Leicester City 17:00 Huddersfield 0-2 Everton 17: 00 Newcastle 0: 1 West Bromwich 17:00 Southampton 2: 1 Bournemouth 19:30 Swansea 0: 1 Chelsea 29 APR 2018 16:15 West Ham 1: 4 Manchester City 18:30 Manchester United 2: 1 Arsenal APR 30, 2018 22: 00 Tottenham 2-0 Watford Local joy Stock Manager Paul Lambert after a goalless draw with Liverpool was pleased. As, his team kept without five minutes of the finalist of the Champions League. Scotsman would be right in his joy, if not for one huge "but": it happened for several rounds before the end of the championship, and his team continues to go in the relegation zone.
One point gained in a match with Liverpool - no better than with any of the outsiders. In the remaining two matches, "potters" will play with Crystal Palace and Swansea, but even two wins in these games do not guarantee them salvation. Stoke concedes two points to another inhabitant of the departure zone Southampton and three - Swansea, and after all, both teams have a game in reserve ... This day was clearly not the day of Mohammed Salah. Eric Peters did not let him do much on the flank, and when the Egyptian still got a chance, he did not realize a one-on-one exit. By the way, this mistake led him to the first place among the main spender of dangerous moments in the Premier League according to Whoscored. Prior to the record for the goals scored for the season in the Premier League will have to wait at least a week.
"Reds" for lost points are now inferior to Tottenham and may eventually lose the third line, but who cares when the semi-finals of the Champions League are on the nose?.
Chelsea aggravated the struggle for survival and kept hopes for the Champions League Chelsea beat Swansea and kept hopes for the Champions League next season. For the victory was enough for one accurate blow Cesc, who became for the Spaniard 50th goal in the Premier League.
Very opportunely for Chelsea at the end of the season was played by Eden Azar. The Belgian again had time to do everything, and it was he who gave the scoring pass to Ceska. Now the "blue" need to beat Liverpool, Huddersfield and Newcastle, but still the fate of the 4th place in the hands of Tottenham.
This defeat greatly complicated the life of Swansea. Now the "swans" only a point ahead of the relegation zone by just one point. The ending of the championship promises to be very hot for Swansea: first a meeting with an unmotivated Bournemouth, and then - fights with the same fighters for survival Southampton and Stoke City.
"Townspeople" and the penultimate step to the record of Manchester City predictably did not notice the crisis West Ham, sending to the gate of the metropolitan team 4 goals, and conceding 1. Pep Guardiola confessed that the goal in this match was a victory, to already in the next match at his home stadium to score record for the English Premier League 96 points.
And to play in the next round "townspeople" will be against Huddersfield, who still did not guarantee himself a propiska in the elite for the next season, and in the last rounds will meet, except City, with Chelsea and Arsenal.
West Ham is Huddersfield's neighbor. Both teams have 35 points in their assets after 35 rounds and only 3 points ahead of Southampton.
The last departure of Wenger to Old Trafford Arsene Wenger completes his coaching career at Arsenal and, perhaps, will no longer play at the legendary stadium of his main competitors for all time appearances in the Premier League. Despite the status of the match, Wenger did not release the strongest squad from the first minutes, preferring to focus on the return semi-final match of the Europa League against Atletico, which will be held on Thursday. And such a rate could well have played, had it not been for Marwan Fellaini's ability to play on the second floor.
It is worth noting that in this match in the goals participated both participants in the winter exchange of players: Alexis Sanchez struck the bar, after which Paul Pogba ferried the ball into the net, and Henrik Mkhitaryan did not miss at the gate of the former team. The Armenian became the first player in history who in one season managed to score for both Manchester United and his gate.
Wenger before the match said that he hoped for a good reception at Old Trafford and everything happened. Before the start of the match, his longtime rival Sir Alex Ferguson handed him a memorable gift. Already during the match the fans of United tightened the song "Arsen we want you to stay".
Arsenal lost and still remains the only team among the four first leagues, which still did not score points in away matches in 2018. Already six consecutive games Arsenal in other people's walls is losing. And if the defeats MJ and the "spurs" can be forgiven, then Newcastle, Swansea, Brighton and Bournemouth - unlikely.
The victory guaranteed for the MU Champions League for the next season, because Chelsea now lost the theoretical chances to catch up with the "Red Devils".
Kane still hopes to catch up with Salah?.
Watford hardly hoped that he would be able to leave Wembley with earned points. Before the match against the "spurs" in the yellow had 6 fights without victories (2 draws and 4 losses). That's in the match with Tottenham, everything became clear very quickly.
Already in the 16th minute the score was opened, and the author of the goal was Dela Alli. Watford tried to win back and for the entire match dealt as many strokes on goal as their rivals, even on target hit more often, but only managed to score Harry Kane.
Last year, Harry for a few rounds before the end of the championship significantly lagged behind Romalka Lukaku in the race scorers, but broke the scoring extravaganza in the last matches. In the current he still hopes to catch up with Mohamed Salah, but in the match with the "bumblebees" managed to score only once, and the Egyptian is ahead of the Englishman by as much as 4 goals in three rounds to the end.
One paragraph:.
Burnley and Brighton failed to score each other, but it is unlikely that this was particularly upset. The score earned in this match helped Burnley to step closer to the Europa League. Two rounds before the finish, "burgundy" ahead of Everton by six points and have a difference of "+3", while "toffee" - "-12". Brighton also took a step toward salvation - five points ahead of the relegation zone for three rounds to the end should be enough.
Crystal Palace smashed into the chips of Leicester - 5: 0! "Eagles" were in the lead 2: 0, and Lester's hopes for a gobeck were ordered to live a long time when the red card was received by Mark Albrighton. After the 80th minute, Palas added three more goals and went on to celebrate - with 38 points the issue of rescue was almost lifted. Meanwhile, the clouds over the manager of Leicester Claude Puel are condensed. The media even earlier wrote about his possible dismissal, and after such a defeat the chances of leaving at the end of the season are even higher.
Huddersfield conceded to Everton, and it can very seriously hurtle "terriers". Now the team has to play against Manchester City (the "townspeople" after this match expects the award ceremony for the victory in the Premier League), Chelsea (who is fighting for the Champions League) and Arsenal (Arsene Wenger's last match in the Premier League - at least at the head of the Gunners). Three points advantage over the departure zone with such a calendar seem to be a trivial matter.
West Bromwich's teeth clings to life in the Premier League. In this round, "thrush" on the road beat Newcastle and thanks to the defeat of Swansea from Chelsea still have a chance to escape. However, if Swansea in the remaining three matches will score at least a point, the BBA will fly out. Next, "thrush" you need to beat Tottenham and Crystal Palace.
Dushan Tadic's double brought Southampton the first victory in the Premier League under Mark Hughes. More importantly, the "saints" are only one point behind the relegation zone, and they will still have a game with their main competitor - Swansea.
