This Saturday, the traditional multiplex of 4 p.m. in the Premier League offered us four fairly important games at this stage of the competition. In the race to get a place in the Champions League by finishing in the first five, Manchester City had to win in Everton to put pressure on Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. And despite a controlled match of the Skyblues, the latter had to seek this precious victory at the end of the game. After a fairly poor first act, the Cityzens found their salvation thanks to Nico O'Reilly who gave success to his family in the 85th minute of play (0-1). In additional time, Kovacic has ratified City's success (0-2, 90+2nd) which climbs in fourth place and put pressure on Newcastle and Nottingham.
At the same time, Bournemouth, also at the quest for a European place at the end of the season, made a bad operation by going to draw a draw on the lawn of Crystal Palace. More consistent, the Cherries did not know how to seek the three points despite a clear domination and the expulsion of Chris Richards just before the pause on the palace side (45+1st). A draw that stagnates Bournemouth in 8th place. For his part, Brentford returns to 8 points from the Cherries after his success against Brighton (4-2). Carried by a Bryan Mbeumo of the big days with two goals and a decisive pass, the Bees stung a Brighton, reduced to ten in the second period. Finally, West Ham has scuttled. While the Hammers had taken the advantage at the start of the second act thanks to Bowen, the latter saw the Red Lantern Southampton equal at the very end of the match thanks to Lesley Ugochukwu (90+1st, 1-1). A frustrating draw that prevents the London club from doing a great operation in the quest for maintenance.
The results of the 4 pm multiplex:
Brentford 4-2 Brighton: Mbeumo (9th, 48th), Wissa (58th), Norgaard (90+5th) / Welbeck (45+3rd), Mitoma (81st)
Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth
Everton 0-2 Manchester City : O'Reilly (85th), Kovacic (90+2nd)
West Ham 1-1 Southampton: Bowen (47th), Ugochukwu (90+1st)
