The first game of the weekend was Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby. The score was 2-1 to the Reds at half time after goals from Mane and Coutinho, and in the second half Origi also scored after coming on as a substitute. Everton’s top four dreams now look to be an extremely distant possibility with that loss, but they’re an improving side under Ronald Koeman and could have a chance next year to finish in the Champions League qualification places.
Moving on, City drew 2-2 with Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday. Arsenal had to come back from one goal down on two occasions which shows good fighting spirit in the team. City started the game well and Sane scored for them after just five minutes, but they dropped off in the second half and Arsenal were more dominant.
Also, Manchester United drew with Everton 1-1. Everton went ahead in the 22th minute through a corner after Jagielka nutmegged de Gea. United had many chances after that and the biggest was Rashford’s one on one with Robles which was saved and it continued Rashford’s run of not scoring in the league since September. United looked like they would be receiving no points from the game with a minute to go, but Williams’ handball gave United a penalty, which Ibrahimovic coolly slotted away. The draw left Everton disappointed because they threw their lead away in the final minute and United also feeling disappointed because they are considered a better team than Everton by many people.
Lastly, after a loss against Crystal Palace, Chelsea replied with a big 2-1 win over Manchester City. Hazard was without question the man of the match after scoring two goals and being excellent in Chelsea’s attacking play. City’s only goal was from the on-form Aguero who is benefitting from the playing time that he is getting. After the win, Chelsea need to keep going on this form to be crowned Premier League champions this year.
