Below you can find the main events that took place in English football on Saturday evening, the goals from the matches and the situation in the tournament table.
"Everton" - "Manchester United" 2:2
Goals: Betu (19), Ducure (33) — Fernandez (72), Ugarte (80).
Everton — Pickford, O'Brien, Tarkovsky, Brentueuyt, Mikolenko, Garner (Ayrogbunam, 81), Guye, Lindstrom (Young, 54), Ducure (Alcaraz, 81), Harrison, Betu.
Manchester United — Onana, Dalot, Mazraoui (Yoro, 71), Maguire, De Ligt, Dorgu, Casemiro (Garnacho, 62), Ugarte, Fernandes, Zirkzee, Hoylund (Obi, 70).
Warnings: O'Brien (45+3), Garner (63), Young (79), Obi (90).
A struggling United were lower in the table than Everton before the match. This did not change after the match. The Merseysiders are enjoying a strong run under David Moyes. Liverpool were unable to win at Goodison Park recently (2:2), but now the Iris scored two goals in the first half against the Red Devils, and the visitors' defense was unable to find a solution to Betu. First, after a corner kick, the ball was intercepted in the penalty area, and the forward took the final shot. Then, on a counterattack, Betu fed Harrison, who outplayed Maguire and shot. Onana blocked his shot, but Doucoure was the first to reach the rebound.
After a 2-0 lead at half-time, United fans had little hope of escaping defeat, but this time Ruben Amorim can be partly satisfied with his players. His team made a turnaround in the second half and played the last part of the game very brightly, in these minutes Bruno Fernandes showed himself. The captain first scored a beautiful goal from a free kick, the last time the Devils scored such a goal in the Premier League in April 2022, with a shot from Cristiano Ronaldo. In the next set piece, after a pass from Bruno, Ugarte equalized. And with the score at 2-2, Pickford saved Fernandes' shot from under the crossbar.
It was hard to imagine Manchester United suffering another defeat in such a scenario. However, it did happen, as in the extra minutes - after another brilliant save from Onana - Ashley Young, a former United player from the glory days, fell to the ground in the penalty area. The referee initially showed a penalty, but the video replay showed that the veteran player had shown his acting skills, and the referee, who went to the monitor, changed his decision. Justice prevailed, and from a psychological point of view, this draw was practically a victory for Manchester United.
Arsenal - West Ham 0-1
Goal: Bowen (44).
Arsenal — Raya, Calafiori (Lewis-Skelley, 56), Gabriel, Saliba (White, 86), Timber, Rice (Zinchenko, 56), Parti, Edegor, Trossar, Merino, Nwaneri (Sterling, 81).
West Ham — Areola, Scarles, Wan-Bissaka, Cresswell, Kilman, Todibo (Mavropanos, 62), Alvarez (Soler, 88), Ward-Prowse, Souchek, Jerusalem, Bowen (Ferguson, 82).
Cautions: Todibo (61), Scarles (78), Partey (86), Ward-Prowse (90+10).
Dismissal: Lewis-Skelley (73).
"Arsenal" has not been stable lately. First, they crushed Manchester City with a big score (5:1), then Newcastle lost (0:2) and left the English League Cup. The team has huge problems in the attack line, and there is practically no nominal forward in the team. In the previous round, the victory was achieved by throwing the opponent's supporting midfielder Merino into the center of attack in the match against Leicester. But the outsider cannot be compared with West Ham, which has begun to revive under Graham Potter. On Saturday, the Hammers played well in defense, and at the end of the first half they punished the Gunners on the counterattack. Wan-Bissaka got the better of Calafiori on the wing, and after his pass into the penalty area, the two defenders of the hosts were left in a lurch. More precisely, they trusted each other, and Bowen took advantage of this. He has now become the second West Ham player after Antonio to score 50 goals in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's problems increased midway through the second half. 18-year-old Lewis-Skelly, who replaced Calafiori, broke Jerusalem in the fight for the ball in the center of the field.
The problem was that another London defender, although he was on the same line as his young partner, was closer to the other wing and it was unlikely that he would reach the opponent. Goalkeeper Raya, however, was about 35 meters away from his goal. So, the referee, who initially showed a yellow card, changed his decision after going to the monitor and sent off the home player. This was the fifth red card for Arsenal players this season. Thus, the Gunners could not take advantage of the opportunity to reduce the gap between them and Liverpool and practically dropped out of the championship race. "This is below the level that should be in the Premier League," said Arteta after the match. Potter, on the other hand, celebrated his fourth victory in five games at the Emirates in his career. He is the leader in percentage of wins at Arsenal's home ground, behind only Pep Guardiola (8) and Jurgen Klopp (6).
"Ipswich" - "Tottenham" 1:4
Goals: Hutchinson (36) — Johnson (18, 26), Spence (77), Kulusewski (84).
"Ipswich" — Palmer, Davies, Greaves, OShi, Godfrey (Wolfenden, 46), Caiuste (Taylor, 52), Phillips (Morcy, 80), Clarke (Broadhead, 68), Hutchinson, Filojin-Baydeis, Delap (Herst, 79).
Tottenham — Vicario, Udoji (Porro, 65), Danzo, Gray, Spence, Bergwall (Bissuma, 85), Bentancur, Kulusevski, Son (Odober, 74), Tell (Scarlett, 74), Johnson (Maddison, 64).
Cautions: Johnson (15), Clarke (32), Godfrey (40).
Tottenham are slowly coming back into their own as key players recover and return to form. Spurs showed their true strength in the match at Ipswich, where Johnson scored twice midway through the first half with Son Heung-min providing the assist. The score then narrowed and the situation remained tense for a while, but Angelos Postecoglou was pleased with the way the youngsters worked in harmony with the veterans towards the end. Maddison set up Spence for his first Premier League goal, while substitute Scarlett provided the assist for Kulusevski as Tottenham won their first three league games in a row this season.
Aston Villa 2-1 Chelsea
Goals: Asensio (57, 89) - Fernandes (9).
Aston Villa - Martinez, Matsen, Mings (Bogard, 59), Konsa, Cash (Garcia, 70), Tielemans, McGinn, Ramsey (Rashford, 46), Asensio, Rodgers (Malen, 78), Watkins (Bailey, 77).
Chelsea — Jorgensen, Cucurella, Colwill, Chalobah (Adarabioyo, 8), Gusto, Caicedo, James, Nkunku (Sancho, 76), Fernandes, Palmer, Neto.
Warnings: Fernandes (56), McGinn (69), Nkunku (72), Caicedo (89).
Chelsea's dream of returning to the Champions League, which Enzo Maresca recently mentioned, is melting like snow in the sun. Unlike usual, Enzo Fernandes' goal did not secure victory either. In the ninth minute, the Argentine striker joined a quick counterattack and converted Pedro Neto's cross from the wing. But this time the Londoners could not maintain their advantage. Chelsea have failed to win in their last four games leading at half-time (=2-2).
The team's performance may have been affected by the injury to defender Chalobah in the first half. But Aston Villa also lost Mings for the same reason. Only Unai Emery has a relatively good bench at his disposal, and in the second half the players brought in in the winter changed the game. First, Rashford, who took advantage of the rebound, rolled it into an empty net, and in the last minutes Marcus once again helped Asensio's goal, and a blunder by the Londoners' goalkeeper Jorgensen also played a significant role in the winning goal. Chelsea, who had been fighting for the championship in the first round, now remain in sixth place, while Villa began to chase with a one-point difference.
