10 points of discussion of the Premier League weekend in Liverpool and Man City



[ad_1]

Another week, another stalemate in the Premier League race.

Manchester City then wins Liverpool – if that goes on until May 12, Pep Guardiola will raise the trophy.

But the headlines – a 2-0 victory for City against Fulham and a 2-1 win for the Reds against Tottenham – do not demonstrate the easy nature of the first and last nervous version of it.

Elsewhere in the Premier League this weekend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has secured his permanent place for a victorious yet unconvincing start against Watford.



Liverpool tops the standings

Huddersfield was relegated to the league after losing to Crystal Palace, although Southampton and Burnley did not have any hope of survival.

Cardiff was left behind bad refereeing decisions, Chelsea came from behind to win.

There were also victories for Leicester and Everton.

Here are 10 discussion points of the weekends action …

1. The title race goes on

Liverpool refuses to be moved in this title race as he still pursues the overriding Man City.



The Reds needed a last winner

After their title rivals reached four points clear on Saturday, this match was crucial for the Reds' campaign.

It was not really Liverpool, and they seemed to have thrown him until luck reached him to give them the last winner.

Every point will be vital by the end of the season, and it could go both ways.

But one thing is certain, this race is far from over.

2. Sergio Aguero leaves Quadruple in the balance

If City wants to give the title to Liverpool, he will need Sergio Aguero.

So, all the supporters of a light blue persuasion in Manchester will pray that Argentina's injury is not too serious.



Aguero was forced to leave early

Aguero was forced to leave in the 57th minute at Fulham, having scored his usual goal.

Pep Guardiola has been trying to downplay the dismissals, but with Cardiff, a clash between FA Cup, Brighton and Tottenham in the Champions League, getting closer to Aguero's injury, could determine if a fourfold is running.

3. Huddersfield: What was the goal?

Huddersfield was finally put aside by the loss to the Crystal Palace.

The Terriers will play in the championship next season after being denied six games, an equal record with the hapless Derby campaign.

But what will be remembered from Huddersfield's two-year period at the first table?



Huddersfield are down

Beat Manchester United? Aaron Mooy doing well? Is Harry Kane the top scorer at John Smith Stadium?

Not really something to write at home.

This is definitely a special tour for Yorkshire residents, but for the rest of the Premier League it's Auf Wiedersehen.

4. Ole driving

It's the dawn of a new era at Old Trafford.

And while he had already played 19 games in the hot seat of the leaders, it was important for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to give the kickoff to his permanent reign with a win.



Solskjaer won his first match after signing a three-year contract

United supporters unfurled a banner before the coup paying homage to their "legendary" boss, who had taken charge of his first match since signing a three-year contract.

It was a promising performance from United, and Solskjaer is at the helm of the club.

This victory allowed the Red Devils to be in the top four, at least until Arsenal plays on Monday.

And with the quarter-finals of the upcoming Champions League, it looks like the good times might well come back in the red half of Manchester.

5. The saints are jubilant but Dark Brighton

Pierre-Emerick Hojbjerg scored the goal that puts Southampton in the spirit of survival – and gives nightmares to Brighton.

The saints should now be safe and the rebellion of Ralph Hbadenhuttl is largely due to the victory of the German over the last seven games.

In fact, if the season started there were 15 games, that is when Hbadenhuttl took over, Saints would be eighth.

In the same table of 15 matches, Brighton would be 18th.

The wing of Chris Hughton will face Chelsea, but will then have to beat Bournemouth, Cardiff and probably the Wolves to stay in place.

The FA Cup semifinal against Man City next weekend and a day at Wembley may have been the reason for the Saints' failure, but whatever the result, they need to s & # 39; To serve as a springboard for their survival.

6. Mo Salah vs. Sergio Aguero

Mo Salah criticized the critics after claiming to have a bad season, showing his record of goals against Sergio Aguero.

Egyptian Salah has scored 17 Premier League goals this season, but has not reached the same level as last year – he scored 32 incredible goals to win the Golden Boot. .

For his part, Sergio Aguero, the leader of Manchester City, has praised his 19 goals this season.



Salah is still on a drought goal

Argentinian Aguero is the Premier League scorer – and he is on course to improve on the 26 goals that he has scored in the 2014-15 season.

Salah, who is in a drought that marks eight games, pointed to hypocrisy after Liverpool overtook City at the top of the table with a 2-1 win over Tottenham.

Salah said, "I have not scored in two games, yes, but there are players who have the same number of goals as me but they say they have the best season of their lives.

"Aguero has two goals ahead of me and they say it's one of the best seasons to date."

7. Warnock rages

We have been waiting for seven months, but Neil Warnock has finally delivered the goods after a very controversial defeat against Chelsea.

Cardiff was unlucky – Cesar Azpilicueta was clearly offside and Antonio Rudiger would probably have had to be sent off – but Warnock losing his head is a schadenfreude moment for all the other fans.

After the last whistle, he got up, hands on hips, watching referee Craig Pawson and his badistants.



Warnock was not impressed

"It's the best league in the world, but the worst officials," warned Warnock. "They do not understand what is at stake. They should not make mistakes at this level.

"Why am I working at age 70 for things like that to happen? It's not very often that I'm lost to words."

A truly iconic moment.

8. Symmetry of Dyche

The first game of Sean Dyche at the head of Burnley? A 2-0 win over the wolves.

And his 300th? Yes, you guessed it!

Not only was it a good statistic, but the result gives the Clarets the real hope of staying in the Premier League this season.

Dyche's men still have only one spot above the jump zone, but are five points above Cardiff – even though they played two more matches.

After losing their previous four games, it was felt that Burnley was sliding, but with Bournemouth and Cardiff on the horizon in the next two weeks, survival seems to be positive.

9. 40 points and stop

Last season, West Ham scored 30 points in 11 games to play and safety was secured before handbrake.



West Ham was poor

A little over 12 months later, there was a trace of déjà vu as Everton ruled them in tatters at the London Stadium.

The Hammers only managed one shot, their first start on the beach having been scored 42 points.

In contrast, the Toffees have a sniff of seventh place and a potential spot in the Europa League.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Bernard and Richarlison in particular, were impressed in East London by Marco Silva's men sitting two points behind the Wolves.

10. Vichai's birthday

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha should have turned 61 on Saturday and wildly celebrated in front of Leicester's directors 'notebook while Brendan Rodgers' team was tearing Bournemouth apart.



Tribute to Leicester at Vichai

The performance on the field deserved the contagious smile of the Thai businessman.

Instead, the Foxs offered beer and free cakes to both groups of fans at King Power Stadium.

The season is coming to an end and there is very little left to do, but the tragic death of Vichai earlier in the season still leaves room for strong emotions.

The tributes made by Fox fans are still as thrilling as his birthday.
