Goals in all directions and unexpected scenarios: fortunately the Premier League is there to entertain us.
While Manchester City was fighting to win at Leicester, eight other teams were on deck this Sunday afternoon. The opportunity for Tottenham to once again show their limits, hanging on the wire by Wolverhampton (2-2). THE Spurs were first surprised by Hee-Chan Hwang’s beautiful strike after a nice combination from a free kick, before Rodrigo Bentancur from a corner and Brennan Johnson, served on a plate by Dejan Kulusevski, turned the match around. But that was without counting on the firecracker under the bar of Jörgen Larsen a few minutes from time.
Still at the top of the table, Nottingham Forest remains its cloud. Winners at Everton (0-2), the Reds are provisionally runners-up to Liverpoolcarried in particular by a very nice achievement from the inevitable Chris Wood, with a well-felt lob. A break from Morgan Gibbs-White later, and the club saved on the edge last season continues its improbable dynamic.
Palace breathes, Southampton sinks
In the fight to maintain, Southampton believed to give themselves a little hope thanks to Tyler Dibling. Before suffering the law of Crystal Palace (2-1), which offers itself a good breath of fresh airoffered by Trevoh Chalobah from a corner then Eberechi Eze with a beautiful half-volley from the edge of the area. Finally, two everywhere ball in the center between Fulham and Bournemouth (2-2). Helmet hits from Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson on one side; a good finish from a tight angle from Evanilson and an equalizer on the edge from Dango Ouattara on the other. The prototype of the draw which does not suit anyone between two outsiders in the race for Europe.
A great way to end the year.
