This Wednesday evening, half of the matches of the 29th day of
Premier League. Chelsea left their mark by winning largely on the Aston Villa pitch (1-4).
Thanks to this victory, to which Joao Pedro largely contributed by scoring a hat-trick, the Blues moved to fifth position in the standings. They thus overtake Liverpool, beaten by Wolverhampton (2-1) on Tuesday, and come back to within three points of their host for the evening. An ideal result for Liam Rosenior’s men, a week before the
Champions League round of 16 first leg facing Paris Saint-Germain, at the Parc des Princes. Before this clash, they will travel to Wrexham on Saturday, for the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Arsenal take advantage of Manchester City’s misstep
The main lesson of this day remains the top of the ranking. Following their victory at Brighton (0-1), thanks to a goal from Baka, Arsenal now have a seven-point lead over Manchester City. Indeed, Erling Haaland and his teammates could not do better than a draw (2-2), against Nottingham Forest, at the Etihad Stadium. Remember that the Cityzens are one game behind the Gunners in the league.
