MADRID, 20 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Chelsea have reinforced their leadership of the Premier League after beating Leicester (0-3) at home at the start of the twelfth day, in which Liverpool also paid tribute to the coast of Arsenal (4-0) and in which the defeat of Manchester United against Watford (4-1) could mean the final blow to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
At the King Power Stadium, the ‘blue’ team controlled the duel against the ‘foxes’ from start to finish to forget the setback before the break against Buurnley (1-1). Before the quarter of an hour, Antonio Rüdiger headed a corner kick into the back of the net (min.14) and N’Golo Kanté, in the 28th, increased the income.
With the match decided, Christian Pulisic closed the account (min.71) and Thomas Tuchel’s men link their sixth consecutive league match adding (16 of 18 possible points) to stay in the lead (29) with four rental units over Liverpool that overwhelmed those of Mikel Arteta.
In a high tension duel, with a ‘pique’ between Jürgen Klopp and the Spanish coach included, the goals of Sadio Mané, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Takumi Minamino broke with two consecutive days without a win for the ‘reds’ and stopped the good march of the ‘gunners’, who still remain in fifth position.
Meanwhile, the situation at Manchester United has become untenable after conceding a new defeat to Watford (4-1). After signing just one win in six games, Solskjaer’s time on the bench seems to be up.
All this in a match in which David de Gea, who became the Spaniard with the most matches in the history of the Premier (351), began by stopping Sarr from a penalty. King and Sarr himself made it 2-0, and although Van de Beek closed the gap at the restart, the expulsion of Maguire and two new goals from Joao Pedro and Emmanuel Dennis sentenced the ‘red devils’.
In addition, West Ham interrupted a streak of four consecutive victories against Wolves (1-0), although they continue in ‘Champions’ positions. For their part, Aston Villa moves away from the lower zone with their victory against Brighton (2-0), Burnley and Newcastle continue to decline despite their draws against Crystal Palace (3-3) and Brentford (3-3). ) and Norwich, penultimate in the table, continues to take air, this time at the expense of Southampton (2-1).
