Chelsea again increased the gap from Tottenham, Middlesbrough flew to the Championship, ended the unbeaten series of Manchester United in the Premier League, and Jurgen Klopp and with the 4 th attempt failed to beat Southampton.
Tour Results:.
Tottenham withdrew from the championship race Tottenham have already done a lot in this championship - well, did someone expect from Spurs accomplishments, given the strengthening of competitors and what kind of coaches appeared in the Premier League? The team Pochettino and so did what seemed impossible - returned the intrigue to the championship race, reducing the gap from Chelsea from 10 to 4 points.
But Tottenham gave - Tottenham took. In a duel with West Ham Spurs played below their usual level. It can not be said that Tottenham was out of luck - after Lancini's goal (9 goals in the London derby out of 14 in the Premier League total) West Ham had a couple of good moments to score, but did not work out. Hammers beat Tottenham home in two championships in a row for the first time since 2000.
Chelsea won his match against Middlesbrough and now Tottenham can become a champion only if the team of Conte does not get more than 2 points in the 3 remaining matches.
Departure zone: Hull - in, Swansea - out Cats are stronger than Tigers. Manager Hull Mark Silva before the game with Sunderland constantly kept saying that it would not be easy. But it is unlikely that he himself expected that the Black Cats will score in the match with his team as much as 3 points! Hull had moments, but Jordan Pikford gave another good match - it is unlikely that he will play in the next season in the Championship with Sunderland. To go down to the relegation zone for 2 rounds to the finish line is certainly a shame, but Hull can only blame himself - you had to manage to lose to Sunderland flying out!.
But Swansea in his match dealt with Everton. Provided himself a seventh place toffee is not particularly trembling. Romel Lukaku only once reminded of himself with a blow from a distance ... But Swansea after Llorente's signature goal (he sent the defender in the air) could score another goal. However, the main thing - 3 points and what managed to get out of the relegation zone, and goals - "that's it".
Liverpool: Again the deuce At the moment when 3 Liverpool wins guaranteed the team to participate in the Champions League, the Reds managed not to win. The Reds did poorly "homework", having painted a zero draw with the unmotivated Southampton - the German still does not win the Saints for already 4 matches.
The Reds could have won the victory, but James Milner did not realize a penalty (the last time that happened to him in the Premier League in 2009). Daniel Sturridge masterfully passed the defenders, but meters with 10 struck is far from masterful - directly into the hands of Forster.
The fate of Liverpool is still in his hands - Arsenal lost points behind 1 point, Man United - 2, but will the Reds beat West Ham and Middlesbrough?.
Manchester City took the lead in 3rd place Since February 25, Crystal Palace has won 6 of 8 matches in the Premier League (1 draw and 1 loss), defeating Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. But the Eagles have already secured a residence permit in the elite and their valiant deaf has disappeared somewhere.
Now the team of Sam Allardyce three defeats in a row - first the minimum from Tottenham, then 0: 2 with Burnley (the first victory of Bordeaux in the championship) and now here is 0: 5 from Man City. The townspeople under the leadership of Josep Guardiola failed the season, but at the end of the championship they gathered and now must finish not just in the fourth, but in the third place. Well, enjoy local superiority over the neighbors from United ... Man United: League of Europe or nothing, but Arsenal retains the chances of a top 4 ... because United bet on the Europa League, sacrificing at the same time the championship. The team lost to Arsenal and for 3 matches before the end of the championship inferior to as many as 4 points to neighbors in the city.
Jose Mourinho said before the match that he wants Arsene Wenger to continue to work in the Arsenal - what, the match with MJ will be a plus in the karma of the Frenchman, when the issue with his future career will be decided. However, it seems that everything has been decided for a long time and Arsen will work with the Gunners for at least a year ... United could have continued his record-breaking unbeaten run (25 matches), but 2 goals in the second half from Granita Jaka and ex-man Dan Dani Welbeck decided the outcome Duel.
Together with the misfire of Liverpool, this result gives Arsenal hope for a finish in the first four - you need to win all the remaining matches and hope that the Reds will again fall. Well, Manchester United ... Jose Mourinho has long said that he prefers to win the trophy (in this case - the League of Europe), and not take some place (except the first in the championship). Yes, and the victory in the European League before the match with the Gunners was much more real than finish in the top 4 ... Leicester place in European cups Lester can bite his elbows - from the fact that the championship is already quenching or from the fact that Claudio Ranieri was not fired before. Under Craig Shakespeare, the team demonstrates very decent results with which it could claim at least the League of Europe, start this early.
Well, okay, absenteeism in the Europa League is not the worst thing that can be. More importantly, the Fox proved: Lester is a very good team, whose place is much closer to the top clubs than to the departure zone. This can be a very solid argument in the trades on the summer transfer market - and if the management of the club will work properly, then in the autumn the number of participants in the fan groups will start to grow again.
In the 36th round of the Fox fought with Watford, sending him three unanswered goals. One of them was on the account of the jubilee - Riyad Marez spent his 100th match in the Premier League, becoming the first Algerian who conquered this mark.
Next, the calendar for Leicester is not easy - Man City, Tottenham and Bournemouth, but it's more of a plus than a minus. To lose in these matches there is nothing, after all nobody will accuse Fox for even 3 defeats, but the praise for victories can be sung much more.
In one paragraph Stoke City scored on the away match in the Premier League for the first time in the last 7 matches, having played a draw - it's already a good result for Goncharov. Their opponent Bournemouth is also not offended - the team held the fifth match unharmed before their fans and continues to stare at the finish in the top 10 - a great result for a small club.
Burnley in a duel with West Bromwich reached a sacred mark of 40 goals, which is very good for the team, which many expected departure. Someone can criticize the TBA coach Tony Pulis for not the most convincing results of the team recently, but to him it's like having a goose water. The main thing is the standings, and there the Drozdy go to a high 8th place.
That Chelsea is good, then Middlesbrough - death In the duel between Chelsea and Middlesbrough happened exactly what should have happened. Chelsea calmly dealt with the penultimate team of the championship, for 3 rounds to the finish line, breaking away from Tottenham for 7 points. May 12, Chelsea will go on a visit to West Brom, who in the last 6 rounds scored 2 points - it seems, retired can order boxes of champagne, not afraid to scare away luck.
Well, Middlesbrough ... Does the team, who scored 26 goals in 36 rounds, deserve a place in the Premier League? "But Borosho plays well in defense" - the first argument that comes to mind, trying at least somehow to justify Rechnikov. But then you look at the table, and you see that the rout of the last rounds was not in vain - according to the reliability of the defense, Boro now occupies only 10th place in the Premier League. So was it worth firing Aytora Karanku?.
