There were a number of matches played in the Premier League on the night. Wolves overturned at home to lose 1-0 to Bournemouth, with Semenyo scoring the only goal of the game. Newcastle United dropped their chains and suffered a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on the road. Mateta scored twice. Liverpool suffered an upset, losing 2-0 to Everton, with Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring a goal each. Manchester United beat Sheffield United 4-2 at home, with Bruno Fernandes netting twice and Harry Maguire and Hojlen netting a goal each.
Newcastle United played poorly against Crystal Palace, and they were shot wildly 20 times in the game, while they only had 7 shots on goal. Mateta played at a very high level, firing low from inside the box and then seizing the opportunity to score again, scoring twice as Palace made it three wins in a row to beat Liverpool, West Ham United and Newcastle United. These 3 victories are full of gold!
Manchester United beat Sheffield United at home. Although United fell behind twice, they equalised twice and scored two more goals to complete a wonderful counterattack! In this game, Manchester United had 72% possession and 25 crazy shots, 13 of which were on target, and played a very sharp attack. Manchester United definitely deserved to win this game. After a tough game against Coventry, it was not easy to continue playing at such a high level in such a quick time.
Liverpool were not as lucky as Manchester United, and they were unable to equalise after conceding a goal. Branswaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored in quick succession as Liverpool lost 2-0. Liverpool's possession rate in this game was as high as 77%, and they shot 23 times wildly, playing the same possession and shooting statistics as Manchester United, but they just couldn't score, which was very helpless. Liverpool have a 14-year record of humiliation: it was the first time since 2010 that Liverpool lost to Everton on the road.
In the standings, Arsenal are at the top of the table with 77 points. Liverpool, who lost three points, was passive and could only rank second. Manchester City are third with 73 points. Liverpool are only one point ahead of Manchester City, and they have played two games more than Manchester City, and it is basically inevitable that they will be overtaken by Manchester City in the future. Liverpool became the first team in the title contender to drop the chain, and the hope of winning the title is slim. Aston Villa are in 4th place with 66 points. In 5th place is Tottenham with 60 points. Manchester United won three points, while Newcastle lost three, and this total of 53 points Manchester United surpassed Newcastle and moved up to 6th place!
