Man United is climbing
Meanwhile, Manchester United moved closer to the Champions League ranks. Thanks to the 2-1 (1-0) win over surprise team Aston Villa and the third win in a row, the record champions are in sixth place, the gap to Tottenham Hotspur is six points. Scott McTominay (86th) scored the winning goal late on. Villa are in fifth place between the two top teams.
Liverpool copes with a setback
Liverpool overcame the setback at Arsenal on Saturday and managed to maintain their top spot in the English Premier League with some difficulty. Coach Jürgen Klopp’s team won against relegation candidate FC Burnley 3-1 (1-1) and is now two points ahead of defending champions Manchester City, who had previously won against Liverpool’s city rivals FC Everton 2-0 (0-0). However, Man City played one game less. Last Sunday, Liverpool suffered their first league defeat since September 30th with a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal FC.
Diogo Jota (31st minute), Luis Diaz (52nd) and Darwin (79th) completed the victory for the “Reds” with their goals, who will still have to do without their injured superstar Mohamed Salah. Dara O’Shea had equalized for Burnley (45′).
Man City thanks Haaland top
Thanks to Erling Haaland, English soccer champions Manchester City had previously taken the lead in the Premier League, at least for a few hours. The ex-Dortmund player scored both goals in the 2-0 (0-0) win against Everton FC.
City struggled for a long time
For a long time, City found it very difficult to create scoring chances against their deep opponents. Only Haaland took the lead after a corner kick (71′). He secured the decision with a successfully completed counterattack (85th). They were the Norwegian’s goals number 72 and 73 in his 78th competitive game for Manchester – and his first in the Premier League in 77 days.
