Big poor performance from Manchester United at home against Fulham (1-2). After a good series, the Red Devils were stopped in their tracks by Cottagers. The situation settled in the second half when Fulham found the fault thanks to a goal from Calvin Bassey (65th). Despite MU’s equalizer from Harry Maguire (89th), the Londoners were liberated by Alex Iwobi (90th+7) even though they had not won since 2003 at Old Trafford. The liveliest match of the afternoon was undoubtedly that between Aston Villa and Nottingham (4-2). The Villans thought they had made the task easy by scoring three goals quite quickly in the first half with the essential Ollie Watkins (4th) accompanied by a double from Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz (29th, 39th). It was without counting on the reaction of Forest, before half-time by Moussa Niakhate (45th + 5) then just after the break with Morgan Gibbs-White (48th). Finally, the Villans took cover following a fourth goal through Leon Bailey (61st) to consolidate their 4th place.

For Oliver Glasner’s first on the Crystal Palace bench, the Eagles returned to victory against Burnley (3-0). In numerical superiority from the 35th minute and the exclusion of Josh Brownhill, Crystal Palace took time to find the net. From the opening score acquired by Chris Richards (68th), his first goal at the club, the Eagles played with former Ligue 1 players. Already with Jordan Ayew (72nd) then Jean-Philippe Mateta (77th). Burnley reduced the score through David Datro Fofana (87th), but the victory is clear for Palace who are now 8 points ahead of the relegation zone. Still in the fight for maintenance, Everton could also have carried out a very good operation. Superior to Brighton in the second half, after a first half where the Seagulls harvested too much, Sean Dyche’s players realized their opportunities thanks to Jarrad Branthwaite (73rd). A first victory in more than two months was looming for Everton. But Brighton equalized with Lewis Dunk in added time (90th + 5). Europe is still moving away for Roberto De Zerbi’s players.
