Return of English football this Sunday afternoon with a very attractive multiplex at 2:30 p.m. First, Ruben Amorim’s new-look Manchester United welcomed Everton to Old Trafford. The opportunity for the Portuguese technician to launch the machine in the Premier League after Thursday’s success against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League. And the three points were necessary for the Red Devils who were in a disappointing 13th place at kick-off. In this match, the former Sporting coach decided to rely on men of confidence in defense, but with a different offensive animation with the presence of Rashford, Zirkzee, Diallo and Fernandes.
And in this match, Manchester United confirmed their rise in power with a very large 4-0 victory against a fairly disappointing Everton team. Everything started well for the Red Devils with the first goal signed Rashford. The Englishman took a combination from a corner and deceived, with the help of Branthwaite, Pickford. A goal which surprisingly sank the Toffees who immediately conceded a goal from Zirkzee. Returning from the locker room, Rashford only needed 20 seconds to hit the nail on the head while Zirkzee, again, also scored a double after the hour mark on a lightning counter-attack.
Chelsea impresses
For their part, Chelsea, in great form for several weeks, hosted Aston Villa on their lawn. Enzo Maresca’s team once again produced a successful performance and was able to rely on its XXL squad (3-0). Senegalese international Nicolas Jackson quickly launched hostilities by opening the scoring at the start of the match. After him, it was Enzo Fernandez who made the break just before the break. And in the second half, Cole Palmer, discreet until now, participated in his team’s offensive festival by sending a mine into the top corner of Emiliano Martinez.
With this success, Chelsea returns to Arsenal in 2nd place in the standings and sends City to 5th place while awaiting the clash against Liverpool this Sunday afternoon. Finally in the other meeting, Tottenham was held by Fulham (1-1). Brennan Johnson had given his team the advantage but it was not enough to obtain the three points (1-1, final score). With this result, Spurs remain in 7th place and miss the opportunity to clearly get closer to the podium.
