Wolves have played north London in a row, and the treatment can be described as a world of difference: at home, Wolves lost to Arsenal in the 24th round, came to the 25th round, away to Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves seized the opportunity, with José Sa's 7 wonderful saves and chaotic backline, beat Tottenham Hotspur 2:0, overtook the opponent from the standings, and announced his involvement in the Premier League's journey to compete for four!
Wolves' two goals once again gave fans a familiar sight, a backcourt mistake that used to happen often during Mourinho's coaching days!
Or, this can not be said to be a mistake, but it is true, the player's ability is not good, the player's psychology is fragile and confused.
Tottenham's first goal conceded
Take a look at the first goal conceded, Wolves 5 people in the box siege, Spurs only have 3 players around Lowry, and about 5-6 Spurs players, have been watching the play on the edge of the box, when they think of going to support, Lowry, who has saved two shots in a row, can't hold on any longer.
The goal was so torturous and demoralizing, what could Conte do? He couldn't rush onto the pitch and play in place of the players.
Soon, about ten minutes later, Tottenham's backline gave Wolves a big gift!
Conte couldn't do anything about it
With a cross near the Lowry penalty area, Davis making a mistake and facing Wolves' "rampant" pressure, none of the Spurs players looked like a player who had played in the Premier League for many years!
Even on the offensive end, Tottenham's strikers did not show a satisfactory performance, and Kane scored 0 goals in 8 shots in the whole game, which became the key to Tottenham's difficult to break the stiff.
Spurs have almost turned the great advantage they had accumulated into a cloud of smoke while facing three consecutive defeats, and the happiest are Manchester United and Arsenal, which will allow them to continue to maintain a small advantage.
After the game, Conte also said bluntly that it is unrealistic to rely on such players to compete for Champions League qualification, but the winter window has passed, the summer window is far away, and Conte has no other choice! But in any case, Winks, Ben Davis, Sanchez, and Sesseignon, who was also replaced by Conte before halftime, are telling one thing: this Tottenham hot spot, there's a lot of trouble.
11 points in 5 games! Kick out a relegation road!
Newcastle fought the whole game, and finally won asston Villa at home with Trippier's free-kick goal, and Newcastle fans could not help but shout at the scene: to relegate.
Indeed, after winning Villa, Newcastle has already scored 21 league points, not only 4 points away from Norwich in 18th place, but also only 1 point away from Everton, and even players such as Leeds United, Brentford and Crystal Palace may also become the object of Newcastle's overtaking!
Newcastle's fixtures
With 11 points in five games, this means that in the first 18 rounds of newcastle games, the team has only won 10 league points in total!
In the last 5 rounds, Newcastle's unbeaten record of 3 wins and 2 draws is placed in the All England League, second only to Manchester City (first), Liverpool (second), Wolves (seventh) three teams! Tan Qiujun even couldn't help but think: How much winning bonus did the local tycoons give to Newcastle players?
And in this game, Eddie Howe once again chose to let Guimarães play as a substitute, Taggart simply did not enter the big list, Chris Wood and Trippier, Dan Bourne continued to start, and among them, Trippier is undoubtedly the absolute thigh of Newcastle, he scored free kicks in two consecutive games, is an important contributor to Newcastle's three consecutive wins!
Trippier is Newcastle's new thigh
Trippier deserves the title of "Beckham Jr.", his set-piece ability is still outstanding, Newcastle's 15 million euros spent on him, it is a great price!
However, in the game, Trippier was also replaced in the second half due to injury, hoping that he would have no problem, otherwise, Newcastle's relegation cause would inevitably be hit hard.
Affordable 1:0, Liverpool are chasing Manchester City and will not give up!
Four-game winning Liverpool barely maintain pressure on Manchester City, but the recent fixture schedule is more difficult and makes people a little skeptical that Liverpool, which has little rotation, can maintain its form in the Champions League.
After all, after returning from the African Cup of Nations, Mane and Salah do not seem to have found the best of themselves, and in the match against Burnley, Liverpool also has a lot of meaning to play, in addition to the recent "killing" Fabinho.
Fabinho has scored five goals in his last seven games
In the absence of Salah and Mane, Fabinho became an important addition to Liverpool's attack, which seems to allow the Brazilian international to find himself in Monaco! You know, in Monaco's peak season, Fabinho made 56 appearances, scored 12 goals and assisted 4 times, and only after coming to Liverpool did Fabinho drop his offensive data significantly because of the different division of labor.
Scoring the only goal in the whole game this time also makes Fabinho an important contributor to Liverpool, you know, the recent outbreak of Fabinho, in the previous 142 games for Liverpool, only scored 4 goals!
However, in this match with the relegation team, Alisson became the best player in the game, Alisson made 5 saves, pass success rate of 92%, 9 long passes successfully, and 2 times to break the siege!
Alisson saved Burnley with a single knife, a super close-range shot, a wonderful long-range shot, he is Liverpool's last line of defense, but also the patron saint of Liverpool!
Conclusion: The Premier League giants usher in the Champions League journey, manchester United usher in the make-up!
Manchester City and Liverpool will usher in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final this week, with Manchester City away on February 16, Liverpool away on February 17, and Inter Milan on away, both teams will strive to find some advantages away from home.
The Champions League match between Manchester United and Chelsea will begin in the middle of next week, and it is for this reason that Manchester United is about to usher in the 18th round of the make-up match with Brighton (the same day as Manchester City's Champions League).
After this make-up match, Manchester United will catch up with the league progress of Manchester City and other teams, and Brighton is currently one round behind Manchester United, ranking 9th in the Premier League with 33 points, a total of 12 games to draw opponents, is the Premier League's famous "king of draws".
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham United and many of the upper middle and upper Premier League teams have been forced to draw by Brighton this season, and at present, the possibility of Manchester United scoring 3 points is not very likely!
