A hectic multiplex in the Premier League. On the pitch at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford won largely (4-1) against an uninspired Leicester. But the match was initially in favor of Foxes. On a pass from Jamie Vardy, Facundo Buonanotte was the first to open the scoring (21st, 0-1). However, Brentford quickly responded. Yoane Wissa (25th, 1-1), then Kevin Schade (29th, 2-1) gave their team the advantage again. Shortly before half-time, Schade scored twice (45th + 7, 3-1), allowing his team to take off before the break. On the hour mark, the German scored a hat-trick, which definitively sealed the victory for Brentford (59th, 4-1). Thanks to their success, Thomas Frank’s men took 8th position in the rankings and moved up four good places.

In the other big meeting of the afternoon, Newcastle thought they would win by the smallest of margins against Crystal Palace, thanks to an own goal from Marc Guehi, who deceived his team in the 53rd minute of play. However, at the very end of the match, Munoz came to hook the Magpies (90+4, 1-1). For its part, Bournemouth continues its slow rise in the rankings. After a victory on the pitch at Wolverhampton (2-4), notably marked by a hat-trick from Justin Kluivert, the club secured 11th place in the Premier League. The Wolves suffered another bad blow, and entered the red zone, in 18th place. Finally, Nottingham ensures the essential with its victory against Ipswich (1-0) and continues to maintain pressure on the top 5.
