Premier League Matchday 23 Roundup

Matchday 23 of the Premier League is over and the fight for the title is very tight after Arsenal’s setback, so this Wednesday we have an early final.

The Gunners remain leaders, but now with 2 points less after drawing 1-1 with Brentford, who this season has made us accustomed to taking points away from the Big 6. Leandro Trossard scored his first goal with the London team, while Ivan Toney did it for the Bees and continues to show that he is ready for a bigger team.

For their part, Manchester City had no problems and defeated Aston Villa 3-1 with goals from Rodri, Ilkay Gundogan, and Riyad Mahrez, all in the first half, while Ollie Watkins scored for Villa who is 11th. Now the Citizens are 3 points behind Arsenal, with one more game, and they will face each other this Wednesday at the Etihad. Erling Haaland was injured and it is doubtful.

In fourth place, we find Newcastle who was surprised by Bournemouth and went 1-1 at the home of the Cherries, who scored through the Argentine Marcos Senesi, while the Paraguayan Miguel Almirón did it for the Magpies in quite a South American day. Bournemouth is 19th with 18 points.

Brighton drew on their visit to Crystal Palace (1-1) but came close to Tottenham, who are keeping the spot in the Europa League. The Seagulls are 4 points behind the Spurs but with 2 fewer games. For its part, Palace is 12th, far from any fight. James Tomkins scored for the locals and Solly March for the visitors.

Fulham did not want to get out of the fight for Europe and defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 with goals from Willian and Manor Solomon, thus leaving with 35 points in seventh place. The Reds have already come out of the bottom and are 14th with 24 points, but they cannot be overconfident despite the reinforcements they brought.

Liverpool celebrated in the Merseyside derby by beating Everton 2-0 with goals from Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo, his first as Red. Jurgen Klopp’s men, in addition to winning, received three big pieces of news: the Dutchman’s first goal, the return of Diogo Jota, who had not played since October 16, and that of Roberto Firmino, who had been out since November 12. For their part, the Toffees are in relegation places and have the worst attack of the entire tournament (16 goals scored).

In the remaining game, a goal from Joao Gomes in the 87th minute gave Wolverhampton a 1-2 victory over Southampton in a key match for not being relegated. Nathan Jones’ men ended the match last with only 15 points, causing the manager destitution, while Julen Lopetegui’s men rose to 15th with 23.

It was a very dark day for Tottenham, fifth, who, in addition to losing 4-1 to Leicester, said goodbye to Rodrigo Bentancur for the rest of the season after he was injured. It is undoubtedly a sensitive loss for Antonio Conte since the Uruguayan was playing very well, and it happens a few days before the duel against Milan for the Champions League. The goals for the Foxes, who rise to 13th place, were from Nampalys Mendy, James Maddison, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Harver Barnes, while for the Spurs Bentancur scored.

Graham Potter’s Chelsea do not raise their heads, they are tenth and drew 1-1 at West Ham’s home.
