As good news never comes alone, the Skyblues can also rejoice in the return to the forefront of their captain, Kevin De Bruyne, as well as the misstep of Liverpool, stuck at the same time on the lawn of Newcastle ( 3-3).
Holder for the first time in more than two months, Kevin De Bruyne placed his team safe after half an hour of play (2-0, 31st).

Mohamed Salah, however, worked hard to put the Reds on the path to success (68th, 83rd). But the pharaoh's double was not enough, Fabian Schär equalized in the last minute of regulation time. The Premier League leader is ahead of his runner-up, Chelsea by seven points. Because on the Stamford Bridge side, the Blues made short work of Southampton (5-1). The French Axel Disasi (7th) and Christopher Nkunku (17th) both showed the way to their partners in the first period.
The other meeting at 8:30 p.m. of this 14th round of the Premier League also resulted in a clear score. In front of their home crowd at Goodison Park, Everton defeated Wolverhampton (4-0). Former Marseillais Iliman Ndiaye thought of scoring his third goal of the season but the Toffees' fourth goal was ultimately given against his side to Craig Dawson, counting two goals in the second half (49th, 72nd).
