Chelsea defeat Leicester, ManCity dives against Brighton

Chelsea 2-1 Leicester
Crazy working day for Timo Werner. In the first half, he supposedly shoots the Blues in the front twice – both goals do not count. First he is whistled back from an offside, then the VAR switches on because after a corner he pushes the ball with his chest and arm over the line. And as if that weren’t enough, the German was fouled by Fofana in the penalty area in the 66th minute. Teammate Jorginho executes the due penalty – and casually pushes it into the mesh at the bottom right to make it 2-0. Although the goal was scored a little later, Leicester is no longer able to do more. This means that the guests also miss out on buying their tickets for the Champions League. Chelsea are now one point ahead of Leicester in third place. If Liverpool win on Wednesday, they will catch up with the Foxes on points. And the fight for the premier class will only be decided on the last day of the game.
Gates: 47. Rüdiger 1-0. 66. Jorginho (Penalty) 2-0. 76. Iheanacho 2: 1.

Manchester United 1-1 Fulham
It is a stroke of genius, this 1-0 for ManUtd! Edinson Cavani receives a heel template from Bruno Fernandes and then sees that Fulham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola is too far in front of the box – and thump, the ball wriggles in the net. After a lob from 35 meters! Only: In the end, it’s not enough for victory. The already established relegation compensates in the final phase. Since ManUtd already has the premier class on safe, the loss of points doesn’t really hurt. And the 10,000 admitted fans have a wonderful consolation anyway with the Cavani goal.
Gates: 15. Cavani 1-0. 76.Bryan 1: 1.
