On this past night, the Premier League's two giants had mixed joys and sorrows, with Liverpool causing another upset, losing 2-0 away to Everton and losing the title first, while Manchester United reversed Sheffield United to retain their hopes of qualifying for Europe.
Everton 2-0 Liverpool
This night was an absolute disaster for Liverpool, who not only lost the derby, but also fell behind in the title race, and next, Liverpool's hopes of sending Jurgen Klopp off with the Premier League title may be disappointed.
Prior to this, Everton had won two in a row at home, and they almost saw who was killed in order to avoid relegation. In this derby, Branswaite and Calvert-Lewin scored in both halves to help Everton win the derby at home and beat Liverpool again after 14 years.
At the end of the game, Jurgen Klopp looked dazed, while the Liverpool players were lifeless, now three points behind Arsenal and falling first in the last three. You must know that Liverpool has played 2 more games than Manchester City to lead the opponent by 1 point, and this result is enough to make Liverpool fans die.
Manchester United beat Sheffield United 4-2
In this game, Manchester United almost caused another upset, they had not won in four rounds before, they fell behind twice at home, and finally managed to turn the tables, and Ten Hag also avoided a big shame. If at Old Trafford, even Sheffield United, the worst team in the Premier League this season, can't win it, then Ten Hag may really have to find a job again.
It was Harry Maguire who broke out again and scored a first-half header to equalise for United. In the second half, Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot to equalise for the second time when their opponents took the lead again. Fernandes and Hojlund then scored twice in a matter of minutes to help the team turn the tide against their opponents.
As of now, the situation in the Premier League standings has changed dramatically. Liverpool has been left behind by Arsenal in 3 rounds and 2 defeats, and now they are not only 3 points behind their opponents, but also 15 points less on goal difference, it can be said that Liverpool's hopes of winning the title have been extremely slim.
As for Manchester United, this win saw them overtake Newcastle, who lost 2-0 to Crystal Palace, and moved back into sixth place. With as many as 13 points behind Villa, United have little chance of fighting for the top four, but they still have a chance to reach European competition, and as long as they retain their current position, they can at least play in the Europa League. If they win the FA Cup, Manchester United can go one step further and qualify for the Europa League, although this result is still difficult to satisfy the fans, but this is already the limit of their season!
