Premier League week 26th: Mou gets 2 points from Pep!

The 1-1 draw between Burnley and Manchester City slightly lighten up some hope for the Manchester United's supporters or maybe not. Anyway whatever the way you look at it, despite the lead got thanks to a nice strike by Danilo at 22' it was thanks to Johann Berg Gudmundsson at 82' that equalizer was made. Rather deserved result only considering the overall form of their league run believing in all matches till the end.

Mou's team instead had a nice 2-0 in the house against Huddersfield Town even getting the first goal by his new superstar top player Alexis Sanchez who actually missed the penalty but scored on its rebound at 68'. The first goal was scored by the Romelu Lukaku at 55'. Revenge is done.

Scoring after 5 minutes with Shaquiri in the away match against Bournemouth was giving the illusion to the Stoke City that maybe some new positive form was about to start but it wasn't really like that. The black/red striped team is making many teams crying recently. They an amazing 10 minutes towards the end of the match indeed they scored the equalizer at 70' with Joshua King and getting in front at 79' with Lys Mousset.

Maybe surprising but surely deserved was the 3-1 made by Brighton against West Ham United. Glenn Murray brought up the team after 8 minutes but reached by Chicharito at 30'. The half time team talk must have worked for the Brighton indeed they got in the second half very confident indeed they scored two more goals: Jose' Izquierdo at 59' and Pascal Grab at 75'. Both team will probably play in the Premier League next season again.

A team  which is really risking to get relegated is now the W.B.A. never been really convincing this season. Another loss this time kind of heavy for 2-3 against Southampton a team that really needed these 3 points. Ahmed Hegazi scored an early lead at 4' at that probably woke up the guests who came back taking the lead in the last 5 minutes of the first half. At 40' with a nice strike by Mario Lemina 40' and Jack Stephens at 43'. James Ward-Prowse at 55' apparently put a dot on the match but Salomon Rondon decide to ruin the quiet ending of the match for Southampton scoring the 2-3. Not enough to get away with something. If the W.B.A. don't shake themselves up a bit they will definitely go down.

Frustration for Puel and his Leicester City which seems to be losing some freshness recently. Another draw this time in the house against the Big Teams Killer Swansea City. Jamie Vardy put the Foxes in front at 17' and somehow they didn't manage to close the match in the first half and that was probably an encouragement for the Swans who found the equalizer at 53' with Federico Fernandez.

Antonio Conte's bench is definitely in danger and WE expect to see him getting sacked pretty soon especially after the incredible 4-1 loss against Watford City which was completely devastating especially thanks to the new signing Deulofeu who scored the important 3-1 goal and even conquered the 1-0 lead penalty kick scored by Troy Deeney at 42'. WE must say that there was a big loss for the Chelsea midfield area when Bakayoko got sent off at 30' and that changed a lot about the story of this match. Hazard's shot was amazing at 82' and Karnezis could have never got that ball. At that point none could imagine that Watford was going to score three more times like it happened. The 2-1 was made by Daryl Janmaat finalizing a nice triangulation in the box and the fourth goal was by Roberto Pereyra at 90'+1'.

Poker for Arsenal. Loud 5-1 against a powerless Everton. Great performance by the new signings: Mkhitaryan did 3 assists and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang scored the 4-0 at 37' with a nice and gentle lob that past the keeper. Hat-trick for Ramsey (6',19' and 74')and a goal for Laurent Koscielny at 14'. The only goal for Everton was scored by Dominic Calvert-Lewin at 64'. Despite the great performance the Gunners are still on the 6th position.

A disappointing point probably for both team in the 1-1 between Crystal Palace and Newcastle United. They were looking for 3 points to breath a bit but it didn't happen. Mohamed Diame' did the 0-1 at 22' but a penalty by Luka Milivojevic at 55' but everything back at the starting point.

Dramatic 2-2 in the fantastic clash Liverpool-Tottenham. This match had everything and probably the draw was the fair result. It's Mohamed Salah who gave the lead to the reds after only 3 minutes. A very well balanced match that changed the result at 80' with a great strike by Victor Wanyama. It was definitely the match against the two top goalscorers in the PL anyway. Harry Kane missed a penalty at 87' and few minutes after it's again Salah who dribbled everyone in the area before putting the ball behind Lloris at 90'+1' making Klopp doing a celebration like he was  winning the Champions League. A very cold shower fell over Liverpool when the referee gave another penalty kick at 90'+5' which was transformed by the brave Harry Kane who didn't miss for the final 2-2. Heartbreaking moments for Liverpool.
