The fierce three-way fight between Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal continues in this 33rd day of the Premier League. Two points behind his two rivals at kick-off, the reigning champion did what was necessary to put the pressure on. With a very reshuffled eleven, the Skyblues did not tremble during the reception of Luton with this 5-1 success. Not everything was brilliant either, far from it, in this match stuck between the two quarter-finals against Real Madrid. Haaland’s recovery was completely deflected by Hashioka in the 2nd minute and put Guardiola’s men on the right path. Kovacic’s magnificent recovery (64th), Haaland’s penalty (75th), Doku’s number (87th) and Gvardiol’s top corner (90th+3) did the rest. Author of the penalty obtained by his team, the Belgian winger may have instilled doubt in his coach’s head for Wednesday.
City are back in control with a one point lead. We are now awaiting responses from the Reds and the Gunners, who are both playing this Sunday, against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa respectively. In the other matches of the afternoon, Brighton picked up a point on the lawn of Burnley (1-1) and remains stuck in the soft underbelly of this ranking. Vincent Kompany’s men let go a little more ballast in the race to maintain their position with this 19th place, 4 points behind the first non-relegation place. This place is still occupied by Nottingham Forest, author of a prolific draw (2-2) against Wolverhampton. Brentford gave themselves some breathing room in the red zone thanks to their victory over Sheffield United 2-0.
The results of the 4 p.m. matches:
Manchester City 5 – 1 Luton: Hashioka (csc 2nd); Kovacic (64th), Haaland (sp 75th), Doku (87th), Gvardiol (90th + 3); Barkley (81st)
