Evgeny Music sums up the results of the 29th round of the English Premier League.
Chelsea was powerless at the exit against Man City, MJ showed steel character traits, Arsenal no longer sensationally lost to Brighton, Liverpool and Tottenham caught the victorious victories. About this and much more - in the results of the 29th round of the English Premier League.
ENGLAND. PRIME LEAGUE, 29th TOUR 03 MARCH 2018 14:30 Burnley 2: 1 Everton 17:00 Leicester City 1: 1 Bournemouth 17:00 Southampton 0: 0 Stoke City 17:00 Swansea 4: 1 West Ham 17:00 Tottenham 2: 0 Huddersfield 17:00 Watford 1: 0 West Bromwich 19:30 Liverpool 2: 0 Newcastle 04 MARCH 2018 15:30 Brighton & Hove 2: 1 Arsenal 18:00 Manchester City 1: 0 Chelsea 05 MARCH 2018 22:00 Football 1 Crystal Palace 2: 3 Manchester United Champion's victory of Manchester United, which does not affect the title at all The first half of the Crystal Palace match - Manchester United became a real shock for the fans "red devils ". "Eagles" were faster, more aggressive and simply better than their favorites and quite deservedly conducted after the first half, and at the beginning of the second doubled the advantages.
However, Palas dreams of reaching the 13th place was not destined to come true. To begin with, Chris Smalling partially corrected himself for allowing the opponent's attack too much in this match. The Englishman just struck his head after a pass from Valencia.
Romel Lukaku deserves praise, figured out in the hustle and bustle at the gate, and equalized the score. Well, the goal after a long shot Matic in compensated time became a real decoration of the tour.
However, we would not talk about the heroism of Nemanja, if on the 77th minute David De Gea did not make another luxurious save after the blow of Christian Benteke.
Jose Mourinho in this match can be pleased with the nature of their wards. By the way, the Portuguese first won in the Premier League, losing in the course of the match in two balls. But we need to understand that already in the next round of the mankunians expect a meeting not with a fighter for survival. Against Liverpool you need to play several orders of magnitude stronger.
Burnley: It's finished!.
In the middle of December, Burnley defeated Stoke City and since then - how to cut off. "Bordeaux" could not win a long 12 games, although they played a draw six times.
At the beginning of the match it could seem that this series will continue even further when Jenk Tosun scored his first goal for Everton and opened the scoring. Never in the Premier League Burnley Shona Daich did not win, if he missed first.
But everything happens for the first time. Accurate strikes by Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood brought Burnley a coveted victory, and along with it - 40 points. The same number of "burgundy" was for the whole of last season, but in fact there are still as many as nine matches ahead! The title of the best coach of the season has long been predetermined by Pep Guardiola, but also Sean Daich should be noted.
The match was attended by England coach Gareth Southgate. Joe Hart spare in West Ham, Fraser Foster heats the bench in Southampton, Tom Heaton has long been traumatized - Southgate on the eve of the World Cup 2018 have to look for new performers on the goalkeeper position. There is Jack Butland from Stoke City, but on two other places the main contenders are Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford. Both goalkeepers gave the next great performances, so that Southgate's thought of who should be the first number did not advance one iota.
Everton coach Sam Allardyce after the match openly criticized the captain of the team Ashley Williams, calling "unprofessional" his removal for an elbow blow to Ashley Barnes. Big Sam, of course, is right - but is this the best way to behave - to criticize others when you yourself are under the merciless squall of well-deserved criticism?.
In fact, Allardyys fulfilled his mission at Everton: there is no threat of "departure" to the "toffee" (at least for now). But with the selection of such cool players, to show such a weak game ... It will be extremely surprising if in the first round of the next season Everton will continue to train Sam Allardyce.
Tottenham finally feels at home at Wembley At the beginning of the season a lot was said about the fact that the "spurs" can not get used to Wembley at all. Team Mauricio Pochettino really lost a lot of points in the games with not the most formidable opponents, for example, Burnley or Swansea.
Slowly the business got better, and after the victorious match with Huddersfield, the author of the double, Son Hyun Ming, already calls the arena "home".
It is worth noting the audacity of the Korean in the situation with the first goal: he could well give Kane to an empty net, but instead decided to beat the goalkeeper. But the second ball - especially for those who claim that "Kane does not know anything else, only to close from three meters". It is worth seeing how Harry felt the connection of the Korean and what a gorgeous pitch he made on him. Assistant, worthy of Kevin De Bryune.
Somehow quietly and prosaically, Tottenham has issued a unbeaten series of 17 matches - the best for the club in the last 51 years (since 1967). Inspires optimism before the return meeting with Juventus in the Champions League.
"Mannequins," "antifutbol" and "crime against football" Last season Chelsea was the best team of the Premier League and deservedly became a champion. City is behind by 15 points, and did not win anything. But here was the season, and the "townspeople" confidently lead the championship race, ahead of Chelsea after a personal meeting by 25 points.
For the team of Antonio Conte, even the loss of the City, as well as the manner in which it happened. The Londoners chose an over-the-counter tactic, as in the first round, but again everything ended for them defeat.
In the winter, Chelsea have been searching for a high forward, cheering the audience with rumors about 37-year-old Peter Crouch or eternally injured Andy Carroll. As a result, Londoners settled on a good option with Olivier Giroux, but why all this, if you let out on the position of the false nine of Eden Azar and watch how the horse balls over and over again do not reach the Belgian? Raised to the sky, Eden's hands were the apotheosis of Chelsea's impotence that evening.
Sky Sports experts Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp called Chelsea players "dummies", and what the team showed Conte - "anti-football" and "crime against football". Antonio Conte retorted that the attempt to play open against the City could end in defeat.
"If my memory serves me, a couple of days ago, Arsenal twice defeated Man City twice, and then you criticized Arsene Wenger for having missed three goals in 30 minutes. I think experts need to turn their heads when they talk about tactics. You need to have the knowledge to talk about it, and not just grind nonsense, "said Conte.
The Italian can be right, only from this state of affairs in Chelsea does not get better. "Blue" after all, not only on the head below Man City, but also from the zone of the Champions League fell behind by five points ... A small statistical fact. In the first half, the "blue" did not inflict a single blow to the goal. Opta has been taking into account this statistics since 2003, and this is the first case of such toothlessness of Londoners. Is this how the challenger should play for a place in the Champions League?.
Arsenal and Wenger came to say goodbye After the defeat from Brighton Arsene Wenger admitted that the finish in the top four for his team is "almost impossible". Moreover, even from the fifth place "Gunners" separates more points than from the seventh. Wenger also complained about the team's fatigue, but can it serve as an excuse for defeats from Ostersund and Brighton? And you noticed that the loss of Man City is already perceived as something ordinary?.
It should be noted the courage of goalkeeper Peter Cech, who after the match admitted his mistakes by writing on Twitter that "you can not expect to win an away match if your goalkeeper misses two goals like I missed".
But Arsene Wenger still believes that he can change something in the Arsenal. It's painful to see how the career of a great manager ends ... It seems his only chance to leave with his head held high is to win the Europa League. Only now, even to go to 1/8 Milan will be incredibly difficult.
Liverpool finally beat Benitez Cult for fans of the "red" Rafael Benitez met with Liverpool in the Premier League three times and never lost - all draws. With the same intention the Spaniard granted and this time - his "magpie" built an echeloned defense in order not to miss, but to score - if you're lucky.
The bet could have played if Lloris Carius had not pulled out a shot from Mohammed Diaime in the first half.
And so - his 32nd goal in the season scored Mohammed Salah (for comparison, the whole of Newcastle - 31), and one more added Sadio Manet - Liverpool's confident victory turned out. It should be noted another wonderful match of Alex Oksleyd-Chamberlain. The transfer, which in summer seemed very illogical and even ridiculous, now fully justifies itself, and the sale of Philippe Coutinho remains less and less regrettable.
Newcastle should not be particularly upset defeat to Liverpool, because ahead of the "forty" are waiting for much more important matches. In the next three rounds, Newcastle expects two battles at once for six points - home matches with the same contenders for the departure of Southampton and Huddersfield.
West Ham danced rock and roll, and his fans are not happy ... ... because they did it "hammers" to Swansea's pipe. The Welsh once again disgraced critics, in the old fashion (since Paul Clement) calling them the "weakest team of the Premier League," defeating West Ham.
"Today, Liberty played rock 'n' roll. Sometimes you have to dance to the music of an opponent, as we had in matches with Liverpool and Arsenal. But today our music played, and it was rock'n'roll, "said after the game the coach of" swans "Carlos Carvalel.
The metaphorical speech of the Portuguese makes him a popular figure among journalists, and even fans, but even more his success is facilitated by the results of the team. If there is no collapse, Swansea must remain in the Premier League, although under Pol Clement this seemed incredible.
To understand the extent of the influence of Carlos, one fact is enough: with the Portuguese, Swansea scored 14 goals in 9 Premier League matches, and for 20 games before that - 11.
One paragraph:.
Riyadh Mares has once again proved its importance for Leicester. It was the 97th minute of the match with Bournemouth, the "foxes" were losing at the minimum, and there were only seconds left before the final whistle ... Riyad decided to kick from the penalty meters from 23, and it allowed his team to escape defeat!.
Manager West Broma Alan Pardew admitted that his fate in the club hung in the balance after another defeat, "thrushes". This time they succumbed to Watford because of one accurate strike by Troy Dini. Thanks to this victory, "hornets" managed to bypass Everton and climb to the 9th place in the table. For nine rounds to the finish, the "thrushes" fall behind the saving zone by 8 points, and yet there are still matches with Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United ... Both Stoke and Southampton are threatened with a flight from the Premier League,. "Saints" were closer to success, but Jack Butland coped with the blows of Josh Sims, Cedric Soares and Nathan Redmond. Ahead of Stoke is just an infernal schedule: in the nine remaining matches they will have to play with four representatives of the top 6: Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool.
