This Wednesday, four matches counting for the 29th day of the Premier League were on the program, including a tasty Mersey derby between Everton and Liverpool. Beyond the rivalry between the two clubs, the race for the title and maintaining it was on the agenda of this meeting. The Reds, in great poor form in recent weeks (two defeats in the last three matches in all competitions), once again suffered the blow against the Toffees.
They fell on the pitch at Goodison Park (2-0), for the first time since 2010! Branthwaite (27th) and Calvert-Lewin (58th) are the scorers of the match. This success is an excellent operation for Everton, who are now eight points ahead of the red zone with four days remaining, with survival almost assured. For the Reds, the title slips away with this setback, and are three points behind Arsenal, potentially five behind Manchester City if the Skyblues win their two late matches. Suffice to say that the chances of seeing Jürgen Klopp obtain one last trophy before his departure this summer are drastically reduced.
Manchester United doubles Newcastle
The race for Europe was also in the spotlight this evening, with Sheffield United, bottom of the standings, hosting Manchester United, and Newcastle moving to Crystal Palace. Seventh before kick-off, the Red Devils could take sixth place in the event of success and poor performance at the same time from the Magpies. And after a complicated hour of play, United overthrew the visitors in the last ten minutes to win (4-2). This success still gives a little credit to Erik ten Hag, heavily criticized and pushed out in recent weeks.

The Dutch technician and his men took advantage of Newcastle’s misstep, beaten by Crystal Palace (2-0). In great form in recent weeks, Mateta scored a double (55th, 88th). Thus, the Magpies slip to seventh place, relegated three units behind the Red Devils, sixth. In the last match of the evening, with no concrete stakes in terms of the ranking, Wolverhampton lost at home against Bournemouth (0-1), with the only goal of the match signed by Semenyo (37th).
The results of the evening:
Wolverhampton 0-1 Bournemouth : Semenyo (37th) Manchester United 4-2 Sheffield United: Maguire (42nd), Fernandes (61st, 81st), Hojlund (85th) / Bogle (35th), Brereton (50th) Everton 2-0 Liverpool: Branthwaite (27th), Calvert-Lewin (58th) Crystal Palace 2-0 Newcastle: Mateta (55th, 88th)
