Small setback for Chelsea. In great form currently, and on a series of eight consecutive victories in all competitions, the Blues stalled this Sunday on the Everton pitch (0-0).
Despite 75% possession, Enzo Maresca’s men were unable to break through the Toffees’ defense. It’s a shame for Chelsea, who had the opportunity to temporarily take the leading position and put pressure on Liverpool, who travel to Tottenham this Sunday.
Man Utd still struggling
At the same time, Manchester United, which is no longer concerned by the title race, sank at Old Trafford against Bournemouth (0-3). The Red Devils conceded goals from Hujisen (29th), Kluivert (61st) and Semenyo (63rd).
This is the third defeat in four days for Ruben Amorim’s men, who slip to 13th place, while Bournemouth climbs to 5th place. After their victory in the derby on City’s pitch, the Mancunians have just conceded 7 goals in two games this week, after their elimination at Tottenham (4-3) in the League Cup. Amorim still has work to do.
