Ipswich 2-4 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest cruised past Ipswich Town to continue their charge for Champions League Football! After 35 minutes, Nottingham Forest had the lead as Nikola Milenkovic was able to fire home from close range! Just 2 minutes later, and Forest’s lead was doubled thanks to a great solo goal by Anthony Elanga before Elanga scored again to make it 3-0 after 41! In the 82nd minute, Ipswich had one back as Jens-Lys Cajuste scored a nice goal, but just 5 minutes later, and Forest had another goal courtesy of Jota Silva! In the 93rd minute, Ipswich were able to get another one back through George Hirst, but it ultimately didn’t matter much! In the end, it’s another defeat for Ipswich Town! The Tractor Boys remain inside the Relegation Zone (in 18th) and they head to Bournemouth next time out! As for Nottingham Forest, they got the job done here! Forest remain third in the league and they head to Brighton in the FA Cup in two weeks before they host Manchester United in their next league game!
Manchester City 2-2 Brighton
After Kaoru Mitoma had a goal ruled out for a handball, Manchester City were awarded a penalty after Adam Webster took out Omar Marmoush! It was Erling Haaland who stepped up and scored to give City the lead inside 11 minutes! Just 10 minutes later, though, and Brighton were back on level terms as Pervis Estupinan executed his free kick superbly well! In the 39th minute, Man City were back in front as Omar Marmoush smashed the ball home! Joao Pedro then had a really good chance to equalise which he could only drag wide before Brighton were level just 3 minutes into the Second Half thanks to an own goal by Abdukodir Khusanov! Yankuba Minteh then had a great chance to score, but he failed to connect with the ball before Nico Gonzalez hit the post from close range! Carlos Baleba then had a golden opportunity to win the game for Brighton, but he poorly blasted over! In the end, it’s another game without a win for Manchester City! City remain 5th in the league and they go to Bournemouth for a massive FA Cup Quarter-Final clash before they host Leicester in the league! As for Brighton and Hove Albion, they had chances to win this game! The Seagulls stay 7th in the table and they host Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup next Saturday before they play Aston Villa in their next league game!
Leicester 0-3 Manchester United
Christian Eriksen came very close to scoring a heck of a goal as his curling effort came back out off the post before Manchester United had the lead in the 28th minute through Rasmus Hojlund! Alejandro Garnacho then had a goal ruled out in the 57th minute for being stupidly offside, but 10 minutes later, and Garnacho did have his goal as Man United had their second! Facundo Buonanotte then had a good opportunity to score which was blocked by Matthijs de Ligt before United had their third in 90th minute courtesy of Bruno Fernandes! In the end, it’s another rubbish performance from Leicester City! The Foxes remain inside the Relegation Zone (in 19th) and they head to Manchester City next time out! As for Manchester United, good job here! United rise to 13th in the table and they face Nottingham Forest after the International Break!
Southampton 1-2 Wolves
Southampton lost again as Wolverhampton Wanderers moved a step closer to Survival! Kamaldeen Sulemana would’ve had a tap-in early on had he not missed the ball completely before Wolves had the lead after just 19 minutes through Jorgen Strand Larsen! This looked so easy for Wolves, but the cross-in from Bellegarde and the finish by Strand Larsen is really good! Just 2 minutes into the Second Half, and Wolves’ lead doubled as Strand Larsen finished well again! Tyler Dibling then had a great chance to get one back for Southampton which he could only head over before Southampton did have one back in the 75th minute as Paul Onuachu tapped home on the rebound (after Dibling’s effort struck the post)! In the end, it’s yet another loss for Southampton as Relegation comes closer and closer! The Saints remain bottom of the league and they host Crystal Palace next time out! As for Wolverhampton Wanderers, they got the win that they needed! Wolves remain 17th in the table and they face West Ham in their next game on the 1st of April!
Bournemouth 1-2 Brentford
AFC Bournemouth’s European hopes took another big blow as Brentford won yet another away game! After just 17 minutes, Bournemouth had the lead thanks to an own goal from Vitaly Janelt! In the 30th minute, it was 1-1 as Yoane Wissa headed home from Bryan Mbeumo’s corner! I have to say, the goalkeeping from Kepa Arrizabalaga is so poor here! Kevin Schade then had a decent opportunity to score which he poorly put wide before Antoine Semenyo had a great opportunity to score, but he could only head the ball onto the crossbar! Marcus Tavernier then had a decent opportunity to score which he failed to keep down before, in the 71st minute, Brentford had turned it around thanks to a good finish by Christian Norgaard! David Brooks then had a great chance to equalise for Bournemouth late on, but his effort went straight at Kepa! In the end, it’s another disappointing defeat for AFC Bournemouth! The Cherries drop to 10th in the league and they host Manchester City in the FA Cup next weekend before they host Ipswich in the league! As for Brentford, this is a great win for them! The Bees rise to 11th in the table and they head to Newcastle next time out!
Fulham 2-0 Tottenham
Fulham probably should’ve had a penalty after Djed Spence shoved Raul Jimenez in the back, but nothing was given before Timothy Castagne had a great chance to score which he tamely struck straight at Guglielmo Vicario! In the Second Half, Dominic Solanke had a decent opportunity which he failed to hit the target with before Solanke had a much better chance which he just couldn’t keep down! Willian then went close with an effort of his own before Fulham had the lead in the 78th minute as Rodrigo Muniz finished well to finally break the deadlock! And then, in the 88th minute, Ryan Sessegnon finished superbly just seconds after coming on to wrap up all 3 points for the hosts! Overall, this was an important win for Fulham! The Cottagers rise to 8th in the league and they host Crystal Palace in the FA Cup Quarter-Finals next Saturday before they head to Arsenal! As for Tottenham Hotspur, it’s another loss for them! Spurs drop to 14th in the table and they head to Chelsea next time out!
Everton 1-1 West Ham
Jordan Pickford pulled out a good save to keep Jarrod Bowen’s headed effort out early on before Everton were awarded a penalty right on Halftime! However, VAR rightfully overturned the decision after Beto clearly went down without any contact! In the 67th minute, West Ham had the lead as Tomas Soucek finished really well! However, in the 91st minute, Everton were able to get back on level terms as Jake O’Brien headed home from close range! Carlos Alcaraz then had a great opportunity to win the game for Everton, but he dragged his effort just wide! In the end, it’s another game without a loss for Everton! The Toffees remain 15th in the league and their next game is a big one away at Liverpool! As for West Ham United, they’ll be gutted that they weren’t able to hold on here! The Hammers stay 16th in the table and they head to Wolves next time out!
Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
Just 1 goal was needed for Arsenal to pick up an important victory over London Rivals Chelsea! Leandro Trossard had a decent opportunity which he failed to hit the target with before Declan Rice blasted over after Chelsea made a mess at the back! In the 20th minute, Arsenal had the lead as Mikel Merino flicked the ball over Robert Sanchez and into the back of the net! Chelsea then nearly had one back through Marc Cucurella after David Raya spilt the ball before Sanchez made a decent save to deny Merino a second! Once again, this was a terrible game between two of the “supposed” best teams in the league! Overall, it’s a win for Arsenal that gives them a nice gap to 4th and below! The Gunners remain second in the league and they host Fulham after the International Break! As for Chelsea, they were so bad here! The Blues stay 4th in the table and they host Tottenham next time out!
