Salah runs to fifty and Jesus goes up in the cup – Things we learned



[ad_1]

More records were beaten at a football-filled weekend as Liverpool kept its cool in the Premier League race, but Arsenal slipped into the lead pack.

Watford reached the FA Cup final for the first time since 1984, while Manchester City's Quadruple ambitions are still alive and well.

AMITAI WINEHOUSE evaluates here 10 things we learned in the last set of Premier League and FA Cup matches …

SALAH RUN AT 50

Mohamed Salah's pbad in front of the goals will color the opinions of him as scorer, but historically he belongs to a category that stands out.

Only Alan Shearer (66 – Blackburn) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (68) scored 50 Premier League goals for a club in less than 69 Egyptian appearances in Liverpool.

Salah is clearly, at least in the Liverpool red, a scorer of some note. In any case, if the strike against Southampton gives him the best of himself, he still has the ability to remember a phenomenon in front of the net.

LIVERPOOL IS A KING OF INCOME

It's not the reversal that defines teams. What's more important is how they react.

Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League games by conceding the first goal and winning more points – 16 – by losing positions than any other team in the top rankings.

Jurgen Klopp's players may be looking for Manchester City for the title but they show, match by match, that they always have a reaction. Liverpool's habit of turning around matches shows that he just does not want to give up.

ZERO CLEAN SHEETS ON THE ROAD FOR ARSENAL

Unai Emery insisted this week on the fact that the struggles outside Arsenal were not beyond the norm. This is clearly not true.

They have not managed to keep their record on the road this season – Ipswich is the only other team in the country to have handled this, and the less we talk about it better. Arsenal have also lost seven of their last 11 games away from home.

It is clear that Emery has a problem to solve when his team travels. It's not as simple as the usual balance at home.

JESUS ​​PASSES IN THE CUP

Sometimes clutch players are more important in cup competitions than regular competitions. Gabriel Jesus could therefore play a crucial role in Manchester City's quadruple hunt.

The Brazilian has scored 12 goals in this season's Cup after defeating Brighton on Saturday, against just 6 in 25 Premier League games. When it comes to winning or losing situations, Jesus intervenes.

This bodes well for a team vying for four trophies. Jesus will rise in these crucial moments by May, when City will need him.

TIELEMANS IS HOT PROPERTY

At the end of Leicester's victory at Huddersfield, James Maddison tweeted that the Fox had to register Yuri Tielemans. He is right.

The midfielder has scored a goal or badist in five of his last six games and is in perfect contact with Brendan Rodgers. When they hired the 21-year-old on loan, he had a brilliant career. Now they will face a standard Premier League player.

They must conclude the deal and do it quickly because if they leave him even longer, Tielemans will continue his progression into the league rather than taking Leicester there.

RUTHLESS MILIVOJEVIC SPOT STRIKES

Luka Milivojevic is a statistical anomaly and he begins to feel that he is underestimated about the situation.

He hit his 10th penalty against Newcastle on Saturday, one less than the most for a player in a Premier League season (Andy Johnson, also at Palace). He also pocketed 13% of all penalty goals in the first division of this campaign.

Sometimes managers simply need to use the tools in their locker. This combination of Wilfried Zaha's winning penalties and Milivojevic's penalties was fully utilized by Roy Hodgson.

GRACIA IS AMONG THE GREAT

Javi Gracia has already become Watford's first coach since his promotion to survive the summer at the start of the season and there is no question for him not to be the first to involve him in two campaigns.

It's fully justified. They have already won 19 games in all competitions this season, their highest number among the best since 1986-1987, when they had 23. They also reached their second FA Cup final and won in Wembley for the first time since 1999.

The books are with Gracia. He was almost unknown when he arrived at Vicarage Road – so much so that most called him Garcia – he must now be among the best managers of all time.

BOURNEMOUTH SHIP 60

Bournemouth will not survive forever with his laissez-faire attitude to his defense, and that's what Eddie Howe has to solve in the summer.

After losing to Burnley, they conceded 60 goals in four consecutive seasons – and are only the second team to do so in the history of the Premier League after Wigan Athletic.

Wigan, like Bournemouth, was sometimes delighted, but he finally caught up with them. Tighten at the back and the cherries can put aside any fear of relegation when the seasons begin and instead of looking at the table.

MONTAGE OF CLARETS AND CHERRIES

However, if you want to know how well Howe managed to get to this point – and to Sean Dyche with Burnley – he is in Burnley's league doubles against Bournemouth.

This is the first time that they have been managing it since the 1999-2000 season, while they were both in third place. Now they are both firmly established in the Premier League.

This is a high watermark for these two clubs. Sometimes a defeat shows how far you've come.

VARDY UP THE JOHN SMITH BOARD

Both of Jamie Vardy's goals at John Smith's Stadium were symbolic, as they will have no impact on Huddersfield's fortunes.

With his double, he is now the top scorer of the stadium this season in the league, alongside Harry Kane and current Huddersfield player, Steve Mounie.

The season was sad for Town and its fans, who had to watch a succession of players do what they can not do.
