Premier League: Manchester United wins by forceps against Chelsea, City falls to Aston Villa

The 15th day of the Premier League was the scene of a clash between two sick giants, Manchester United and Chelsea. MU fell again during their last outing at Newcastle, while the Blues are still just as unstable. The twenty-two actors also offered a start to the meeting reflecting their level of confidence, a mixture of anything. Robert Sanchez saved his team in front of Hojlund (4th) and especially the penalty from Bruno Fernandes (9th), then Antony (15th). Mudryk gave Old Trafford a thrill on the counter (13th) but McTominay ended up rewarding the overall domination of his team (1-0, 19th). The technical quality was not always there, not like the errors on both sides which allowed for some very heated situations, like the double stop by Sanchez (34th) and the duel won by Onana in front Jackson (36th).

The ball ended up going into the back of the net again thanks to Palmer, who equalized after a nice number (1-1, 45th). Everything had to be done again for the Red Devils upon returning from the locker room against a team which has not won at Old Trafford since 2013. This did not scare Erik ten Hag’s flock, who asserted themselves little by little. minutes. In the absence of clear chances, hot situations began to accumulate in Sanchez’s area, who ended up losing to this point-blank header from McTominay, definitely on a big night (2-1, 69th). This advantage freed Mancunians to perform more and more collectively. He was still missing the break that Garnacho was unable to complete (74th, 80th). This allowed Enzo Fernandez (85th) and Broja (90th) to try their luck, without further success. MU logically wins and moves up to 6th place, 4 more than the Blues.

Another disappointment for Manchester City!

In the other main match of the evening, Manchester City went to Aston Villa with the firm intention of putting an end to this series of three consecutive draws. However, it was Unai Emery’s men who had a bad start but neither Digne (3rd), Bailey (6th) then Torres (7th) managed to beat Ederson. Martinez responded to his Brazilian counterpart by rejecting this double attempt from Haaland (11th). The locals did not weaken, while coming up against their lack of realism (29th, 31st, 41st) or an Ederson (22nd) of great evenings. Douglas Luiz even thought he would open the score without VAR intervention (45th). 13 shots at the break were not enough to beat the Cityzens. The second period started again on the same basis, and this time the Villans finally found the fault through Bailey (1-0, 74th). Without the post and even Ederson, the score could have been much heavier. This defeat is the big surprise of the evening since Guardiola and his men have 6 points outlay on the Gunners.

Now let’s head to the other evening matches, which ended a little earlier in the evening. Liverpool did not put in the best performance, but did the job (2-0) against a limited Sheffield United team, despite the return of Chris Wilder to the bench. The Reds relied on a header from Van Dijk from a corner (37th) then a late goal from Szoboszlai (90th +5) to take the three points and come back two lengths behind the leader, Arsenal. At the same time, Brighton also performed well by winning against Brentford 2-1. Fulham achieved the success of the evening by beating Nottingham Forest 5-0 with a double from Iwobi in particular. Finally, Bournemouth gives themselves some fresh air in the red zone by winning on the pitch of Crystal Palace, a direct competitor. The Cherries, 15th, take a 9-point lead over the first relegated team and come back to match their evening opponent.
