Manchester City seems inexorably heading for the championship in the English Premier League. On Saturday (May 6th, 2023) the “Skyblues” won 2-1 (2-0) against Leeds United and extended their lead over pursuers Arsenal to four points four games before the end of the season. Liverpool FC also won.
Man of the day at Manchester this time was not record scorer Erling Haaland, but captain Ilkay Gündogan. The German international scored both goals (19th, 27th). Rodrigo (85′) made the game exciting again for Leeds in the closing stages after Gündogan had just missed a penalty (84′).
Sixth win in a row for Liverpool
Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC can continue to dream of the Champions League after their sixth win in a row. With a 1-0 (1-0) win over FC Brentford, the “Reds” were able to reduce the gap to Manchester United in fourth place to one point. However, the arch-rival has played two games fewer.
Mohamed Salah scored the winning goal in the 13th minute. Not only was it the striker’s 100th goal at Anfield, he also drew level with club legend Steven Gerrard in all competitions with 186 goals.
Chelsea can still win
After nine competitive games without a win, Chelsea also celebrated a success again. Benot Badiashile (82nd) and Joalo Felix (86th) scored a 3-1 (1-1) victory in the final stages of the table at neighbors AFC Bournemouth. Previously, Matias Vina (21st) equalized the early Chelsea lead by Conor Gallgaher (9th). With 42 points, Chelsea moved up to eleventh place.
Kane makes Tottenham dream
Tottenham Hotspur can continue to believe in participating in the European Cup. In the 1-0 (1-0) duel against Crystal Palace in London, the “Spurs” were once again able to rely on their captain Harry Kane, who scored just before the half-time whistle (45th).
Kane is now second in all-time goalscoring behind Alan Shearer (260) after scoring 209 in the Premier League. 57 points mean Tottenham (57 points) sixth place behind Liverpool (62).
