MADRID, 7 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Newcastle was eliminated from the FA Cup after losing (2-1) in their visit to Sheffield Wednesday, from the third category of English football, and put an end to a streak of 15 games without losing, while Liverpool will have to play a ‘replay’ with Wolverhampton (2-2) and West Ham beat Brentford (0-1).
The third classified in the Premier stopped his unbeaten streak dead and found himself with the first defeat since last August 31. The team led by Eddie Howe was not able to overcome Windass’s double in the second half of the clash. Although he cut the gap through Bruno Guimaraes, the magpies were eliminated in the third round of the FA Cup.
West Ham continues in it, which beat Brentford thanks to a goal from Benhrama after the hour of the game. David Moyes’ men found themselves victorious again after six games without doing so. Good news for the ‘Hammers’ who are still in a difficult situation in the Premier League, tied on points with Everton, the club that marks the relegation.
In addition, Tottenham also passed the third round after beating Portsmouth, from the English third division, by a minimum. Harry Kane’s solitary goal in the second half was enough to defeat the classic ‘Pompey’. The ‘Spurs’ also had a great performance from the Spanish Bryan Gil, starter for the third consecutive game and named man of the game.
The day of the oldest tournament in the world was closed this Saturday by the draw at Anfield between Liverpool and Wolves by Julen Lopetegui. The visitors took the lead through Gonçalo Guedes, on a tremendous mistake by Alisson, but Darwin Núñez made it 1-1 in style before the break. Mohamed Salah made it 2-1 but Hwang Hee-chan left the tie on the brink of offside.
