PL: Liverpool saved by Darwin Nunez, Tottenham stunning and Chelsea hanging on

The 27th day of the Premier League was in full swing this Saturday with a multiplex pitting several teams from the top of the table against each other. Executioner of Chelsea last week in the League Cup final (0-1), Liverpool, leader of the Premier League, traveled to Nottingham Forest. A meeting as a hangover for the Reds. Sheepish in the game, Jürgen Klopp’s men did not find the solutions against opponents who were diligent defensively and dangerous on the counterattack. On several occasions (23rd, 81st), Caoimhín Kelleher even had to work to prevent the Tricky Trees from taking the advantage. However, at the very end of the match, it was Darwin Núñez who allowed the Liverpuldiens to snatch victory with an angry header (0-1, 90+9th). A crucial goal in the race for the title and which ensures the Reds retain their throne as leader at the end of the 27th day of the championship. For its part, Tottenham showed character this Saturday against Crystal Palace. Trailing in this London duel following Eberechi Eze’s opener, Spurs snatched victory thanks to Timo Werner’s first goal with Tottenham and a clear header from Cristian Romero (80th). Heung-min Son completed his team’s success at the end of the match. With the three points, Ange Postecoglou’s squad remains in contact with Aston Villa, fourth, and escapes from Manchester United.

Another London derby took place at the same time with Brentford hosting Chelsea. The much-maligned Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring in the first period for the Blues, who were finally caught twice by banners from Mads Rasmussen and Yoane Wissa. Finally, the residents of Stamford Bridge were saved by Axel Disasi. This guy doesn’t do anyone’s business, especially Mauricio Pochettino’s. Speaking of savior, Tomas Soucek also took out the cape this Saturday afternoon. While West Ham were going to settle for a draw on the Everton pitch, the Czech midfielder delivered his own at the end of the match. Edson Alvarez confirmed the London success a few moments later. A saving goal which allows the Hammers to move into seventh place in the standings. The teammates of a goalscorer Kurt Zouma notably overtake Brighton who lost badly against Fulham with goals from Harry Wilson, Rodrigo Muniz and Adama Traoré. 3-0 is also the score inflicted by Newcastle on Wolverhampton. Inspired, the Magpies quickly took the lead in the first half thanks to Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. In added time, Tino Livramento added to the score for Wolves who are stagnating in tenth place while their opponents of the day climb to eighth place.
