The nightmare season continues in the championship of the Amorim and Postecoglu teams, both just above the relegation zone

Chelsea-United 1-0
–
As soon as the referee whistles the end, delayed by a field invader, Enzo Maresca is submerged by the embrace of his bench and his staff. Yes, this victory skimpy at Stamford Bridge on Manchester United is worth so much: the header of Marc Cucurella at 71 ‘keeps the blues masters of his destiny, always on par as points with the Aston Villa and always in front of the difference in the difference with the two teams at one day after the end. Sunday 25 Chelsea will go to Nottingham against Forest, the villa in Old Trafford against United. Cucurella, with her header who has restarted the usual chorus based on paella and beer, signed a fundamental victory, one that allows the blues to take up the march after the False passage of Newcastle. A victory, however, deserved in a gray match, in which Chelsea created more but has not dominated, feeling both the lack of a center forward (Nico Jackson, the only healthy in the squad, is disqualified and will not be available even for the last game) and the creativity of midfielders and exteriors. The goal was born from a splendid cross by Reece James, relaunched as a right back, and by that intuition sub -undergoing that one of the new heroes of Stamford Bridge has developed during the season. Chelsea thus rises to 66 points, such as Aston Villa and like Newcastle (Sunday guest of Arsenal with chance to climb second place), with an advantage on the City (play on Tuesday) and 4 on the Forest that on Sunday must beat the West Ham to stay in the running. The United floats in Quintultimo, almost at the end of its worst season ever in the premier: only the Europa League could change things
Aston Villa-Tottenham 2-0
–
The first half to create, the second to conclude. The Aston Villa folds Tottenham twice with Konsa and Kamara but remains behind Chelsea in the Champions League race. Except for false steps of the City Tuesday with Bournemouth, the qualification for Europe that counts the Emery team passes through a victory in Old Trafford on the last day and a false step of those in front. The success in the last season at Villa Park, who dreams next year to find his team in Europe that counts, perhaps with Marco Asensio (highly applauded) and Marcus Rashford (injured and already put on the market by United, who wants at least 45 million euros) still employed by Unai Emery. At Tottenham of this game it did not matter: the only one that matters is the final of Wednesday’s Europa League with United, which in addition to their first trophy since 2008 (and their first continental since 1984) is also worth a place in the next Champions League. Postecoglou has deployed the reserves, keeping out Vicar and Udogie, hoping that no one else got hurt. It was not served, given that both Sarr and the young Moore came out for injury.
