A explosive incident caused a stir in the Premier League: a man stormed onto the pitch during the game between Leeds and Newcastle and pushed the guest coach. The man is arrested and is never allowed back into the stadium. Meanwhile, a DFB talent is being relegated from the league.
Southampton FC are the first to be relegated from the Premier League. Coach Ruben Selles’ team lost 2-0 (0-0) to Fulham FC and mathematically can’t get out of the relegation zone in their two remaining games. Vinicius (48th minute) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (72nd) sealed the relegation of the Saints, who have to leave the upper house again after eleven years. The DFB player Armel Bella-Kotchap, who was courted by Eintracht Frankfurt, among others, was not in the squad.
Manchester United, on the other hand, is still on course for the Champions League. The record champions consolidated fourth place with a 2-0 (1-0) win at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers. With three games remaining, United are four points clear of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. Anthony Martial (32nd) and Alejandro Garnacho (90th + 4) secured the success of the Red Devils. United drew level on points with third-placed Newcastle United, who had previously drawn 2-2 (1-1) at relegation candidates Leeds United.
During the game there was an explosive attack on Newcastle coach Eddie Howe, which ended lightly in the end. In the closing stages of the game, a man rushed into the coaching zone and lightly pushed the coach. He was immediately caught by security forces. Police have charged the perpetrator with assault and trespassing. Leeds confirmed an arrest after the game, and a lifetime stadium ban had been issued. The man has been released on bail and will appear in court on July 21, according to West Yorkshire Police.
Meanwhile, the brutally disappointing season continued for Chelsea. The Londoners had to settle for a 2-2 (0-1) win against promoted Nottingham Forest at home. Two goals from Raheem Sterling (51st/58th) were not enough for the Blues either, because former Union Berlin pro Taiwo Awoniyi also scored twice (13th/62nd). Chelsea is still eleventh in the table.
