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.
Southampton 0-2 Leeds United
Tottenham beaten 3-1, Burnley brushed away 4-0 – and now promoted Leeds have mastered the task in Southampton. The surprise team of coach Marcelo Bielsa continues to convince – and right in the middle: Ex-Super League whirlwind Ezgjan Alioski. The former Lugano scorer plays through again, it is his 35th appearance in the 37th league game.
Gates: 73.Bamford 0-1. 95. Roberts 0-2.
Brighton 3-2 Manchester City
There’s a lot going on between Brighton and Master ManCity! In the 10th minute, Cancelo does the guests a disservice with an emergency brake. With red he is sent under the shower. The Citizens, who are already in the lead at this point, are not deterred and increase to 2-0 shortly after the break. The matter seems to be over. But then Brighton starts to turn things around. Only two minutes later the goal was scored and in the final phase a double hit secured the three. A respectable success for the home side, thanks to which they improve from 17 to 15 in the table.
Gates: 2. Gündogan 0: 1. 48. Foden 0-2. 50. Trossard 1: 2. 72. Webster 2-2, 76. Burn 3-2.
