Although Manchester City has already locked up this season's Christmas champions in advance; although the Boxing Day battle this season has been postponed by 3 games due to the epidemic, the games on this Boxing Day are still hot.
Arsenal's visit to the Carrow Road Stadium this round turned Norwich, who had struggled to climb from the bottom to the bottom, into a sieve. The 5-0 victory naturally allows Gunners fans to continue to walk out of the pace of six relatives on the road of triumph and spend the New Year happily.
Since Arteta stripped Aubameyang of the captain's armband and excluded it from the tournament line-up, the Gunners have secured fourth place in the Premier League for several rounds. Arteta's iron fist has begun to bear fruit, and a new generation of gunners with Saka, Smith-Royce, Martinelli, Tierney and Ramsdale as the core has given hope.
Chelsea visited Villa Park and finally won. Reese James opened shortly after the show, making Tuchel cold from head to toe. However, thanks to Jorginho's penalty, Chelsea equalized before half-time. The difficult situation made Tuchel, who had always been seeking stability, finally decide to give it a go, replace Chaloba with Lukaku, and attack with all his might.
Lukaku changed the course of the game after coming on the scene, first with a dashing header to shoot back the score, and then in injury time with the ball burst into the box, forcing the pursuing Consa to shovel fouls, Jorginho penalty twice, the Blues finally got the first win in the last three rounds.

In BIG6, the match between Liverpool and Leeds United was postponed due to epidemic prevention, and this latest appearance of Manchester United became the finale of Boxing Day.
Unfortunately, against Newcastle, who aspires to relegation, United's performance is a big surprise, if it were not for De Gea's repeated repeated saves, Manchester United would have suffered a fiasco at St. James' Park. The 1-1 score is more like a gift for Manchester United, and Ronaldo's violent kicking in the game has become the focus of heated discussion in the media and fans after the game.
The draw has allowed United to return from fantasy to reality once again, the players are moving, the military is unstable, Lonnick does not seem to be as magical as rumored, and the untouched giant resume is becoming a hard injury for him to show his talents at Old Trafford. Manchester United, the task this season, is still arduous.
This Boxing Day is exciting enough, crazy enough! And the violent flying kick of C Luo's demonic ghost pushed this madness to the extreme.
