Liverpool thought he had lost two points on the lawn of Aston Villa during the week. In the end, it was a good operation for the Reds, since their main pursuer, Arsenal, did even less on Saturday, during the 26th day of the Premier League. The Gunners, who received the 16th, West Ham, bowed to the Emirates and are now 8 points behind the men of Arne Slot.
The chances of the players of Mikel Arteta to take at least one point were annihilated after rest, when Myles Lewis-Skelly was expelled directly for a fault of the last defender (73rd). The only goal of the meeting is the work of Jarrod Bowen, author of a beautiful head placed on a perfect center of Aaron Wan-Bissaka (0-1, 44th). This is the 50th Premier League realization of the English international.
Thanks to this success, the Hammers are tied with the 15th, Manchester United, hung (2-2) to Everton a little earlier. Arsenal, for its part, will have a hard time filling the delay on Liverpool 12 days from the end.
In the other afternoon meetings, Wolverhampton went to win in Bournemouth (0-1), Crystal Palace won (0-2) in Fulham, Brighton has grown (0-4) Southampton and Tottenham walked (1-4) at Ipwsich.
