Goals : Steel (69).e) et Salah (72e) pour les Reds // Kadıoğlu (14e) for the Seagulls
Long dominated by a pleasant Brighton, the Liverpool players put on the blue (or rather the red) to warm up in the second half to turn around a match that was far from well underway (2-1). THE Seagulls opened the scoring thanks to a nice collective sequence, initiated by Kaoru Mitoma on the left and concluded by Ferdi Kadıoğlu on the other side with a clear strike finished at the back post (0-1, 14e). Behind, there were even several break possibilities for the visitors who could almost blame themselves for only returning to the locker room with a one-goal lead.
This was punished in the second half, with Reds transformed and somewhat lucky on the equalizer: on a vicious cross from Cody Gakpo, no one touched the leather and it ended up in the back of Bart Verbruggen's net (1-1, 69e). The red machine was then launched and it only took two more minutes to regain the advantage. After a counter flash, Mo Salah did his special: return to his left foot then send a missile into the opposite corner (2-1, 72e). An express comeback sufficient to escape through a mouse hole and regain control of the championship at the same time.
Buts : Semenyo (9e) and Evanilson (63e) for Bournemouth // Gvardiol (83e) pour City
Arsenal lost a little earlier in the day, and Manchester City had a great opportunity to move away at the top of the table this Saturday against Bournemouth. This was not the case, since Pep Guardiola's men fell into the trap set by the Cherries. Impressively daring, they quickly took the lead thanks to a nice pivot goal from Antoine Semenyo (1-0, 9e). Do they have a miracle recipe for bringing down big guys? The question may arise since Andoni Iraola's guys had already beaten Arsenal two weeks earlier, and they confirmed their ease against the favorites in the second half: for his second assist of the day, Milos Kerkez put Evanilson into orbit who tackled and scored with his toe (2-0, 63e). A big blow behind the helmet Citizenswho still regained hope thanks to a sublime header from Joško Gvardiol (2-1, 83e). Until the end, City pushed, increasing the number of dangerous situations, but Bournemouth held on and held on until the end.
