Newcastle and Manchester United strengthen their Champions League positions after beating Southampton and Aston Villa respectively
MADRID, 30 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Manchester City has taken the lead in the Premier League thanks to its 1-2 win against Fulham, with goals from Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez, during a 34th day in which this Sunday also highlighted the victory of Liverpool 4-3 over Tottenham in a crazy final match at Anfield.
After this good harvest at Craven Cottage, making Carlos Vinicius’s goal useless for the locals, the team coached by Pep Guardiola reached 76 points; They have just one more point than Arsenal, but the ‘Gunners’ have one more game to their credit.
Just behind the two clubs fighting for the title, Newcastle and Manchester United clinched their respective Champions League positions after beating Southampton (3-1) and Aston Villa (1-0), respectively. With this, in addition, they forced Liverpool to get a good result from their direct duel against Tottenham.
Thanks to a brilliant start, the ‘reds’ went up 3-0 in the first quarter of an hour, with goals from Curtis Jones, Luis Díaz and Mohamed Salah. But Harry Kane closed the gap before the break and that encouraged the ‘spurs’, who in the second half came to equalize with a goal from Heung-Min Son behind the defense and with an unorthodox header from Richarlison from a free kick side.
That 3-3 score for the Brazilian, in stoppage time, seemed like the final touch to a very hectic and tense match, until Lucas Moura missed a pass towards his own area and gave the ball to Diogo Jota; he controlled and executed a low shot with his left foot, making the final 4-3 and putting his team on 56 points in the table.
