Matchday 34 – Games Results

Premier League Matchday 34: Arsenal x Crystal Palace

Arsenal is focused on the Champions League semifinals, and this was evident this weekend when Mikel Arteta fielded a mixed team against Crystal Palace, who just a few days later reached the FA Cup final.

The ‘Gunners’ took the lead early with a header from Jakub Kiwior in the third minute and had a couple of opportunities to extend the lead but couldn’t capitalize. However, Eberechi Eze scored a stunning goal from a corner kick, hitting it first touch, striking the post, and then going in.

Before the first half ended, Arsenal regained the lead with Leandro Trossard’s well-placed shot.

In the final moments of the game, in the 83rd minute, William Saliba made a mistake, gifting the ball away to Jean-Philippe Mateta, who, seeing goalkeeper David Raya out to the side waiting for a pass, calmly finished into the empty net for a 2-2 draw.

The ‘Gunners’ are second with 67 points, and they need to be cautious as there’s only a seven-point gap between them and sixth place. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is in 12th with 45 points.

Premier League Matchday 34: Newcastle vs. Ipswich

Newcastle had no trouble defeating Ipswich 3-0, temporarily climbing to third place in the table and, in the process, sending their rivals down to the second division.

Ben Johnson was sent off with a second yellow card in the 37th minute, and that’s when the tragedy began for the ‘Tractor Boys,’ sealing their relegation to the Championship. Just before halftime, Alexander Isak put Newcastle ahead with a penalty.

In the second half, the giant Dan Burn extended the lead with a header, and in the 80th minute, it was William Osula’s turn to score, also with a header, from another cross by Kieran Trippier, to make it 3-0 for the Magpies.

Newcastle is in third place with 62 points, currently qualifying for the Champions League, while Ipswich Town is in 18th place with 21 points.

Premier League Matchday 34: Liverpool vs Tottenham

After a bittersweet season where not all the expected results came through, they managed to secure the Liga Premiada title at home, crushing Tottenham 5-1.

However, the game didn’t start as they had hoped, as Dominic Solanke gave the ‘Spurs’ the lead with a header in the 12th minute. But after that, it was all Liverpool under manager Arne Slot.

First, it was Luis Díaz in the 16th minute, tapping in a pass from Dominik Szoboszlai. Then Alexis Mac Allister scored with a brilliant long-range shot in the 24th minute. The South Americans turned the game around.

The celebration continued in the first half at Anfield, as Cody Gakpo scored a clinical cross-shot to make it 3-1 in the 34th minute, and the crowd began to celebrate.

In the second half, the team’s star, Mohamed Salah, made it 4-1 with a great left-footed shot on the counter-attack, reaching 28 goals for the season and climbing to the top of the scorer’s table with a six-goal lead over Isak and seven over Erling Haaland.

In the 69th minute, Destiny Udogie attempted to clear a cross from Alexander Arnold but ended up putting the ball into his own net for the final 5-1 scoreline.

Liverpool reached 82 points and secured their 20th title, while Tottenham sinks into their worst season in recent years, sitting 16th with 37 points.
