Premier League standings: matches and results – Date 36

A photo finish is expected for the Premier League, with Liverpool and Manchester City neck and neck in search of the title. Check how the table of positions of the British tournament is going with the results of its day 36, with only three dates left for the end of the season.

Chelsea (3rd) dropped two points with a 2-2 draw against Wolverhampton (8th), while Watford (19th) were mathematically relegated after their defeat against Crystal Palace (10th) during matchday 36 of Premier League.

After a goalless first half, Chelsea surged to victory with two goals from Romelu Lukaku in less than two minutes (56 penalties, 58). The ‘Wolves’, who never disconnected from the game, reacted thanks to an unstoppable shot from outside the area by the Portuguese Francisco Trincao (79) and tied on the last day of the game, with a cross to the area that Conor Coady headed ( 90+7).

The ‘Blues’, who had announced hours before the game the sale of Roman Abramovich’s club to the consortium led by the American Todd Boehly, have now gone three consecutive games without winning, and have won only one victory in their last five championship games ( 2 draws and 2 losses), a bleeding of points that has allowed Arsenal (4th) and Tottenham (5th) to threaten their third place and complicate the ‘Blues’ the three remaining days.

Worse luck befell Manchester United (6th), thrashed 4-0 on their visit to Brighton (9th). The seagulls dominated the ‘Red Devils’ throughout the game and went into the break ahead thanks to a powerful shot from Moisés Caicedo (15). Brighton continued to dominate after the dressing room, creating more chances that were rewarded with goals from Spaniard Marc Cucurella (49), Pascal Gross (57) and Leandro Trossard (60).

With this defeat, Manchester United is mathematically out of the League of Champions and his participation in Europe is still not guaranteed League when they only have one game left to play.

In another of Saturday’s afternoon games, Watford (19th) mathematically confirmed their relegation after losing 1-0 on their visit to Crystal Palace (9th), after a penalty goal by Wilfried Zaha (31st).

Like Norwich (20th), the other team already relegated mathematically, the ‘Hornets’ were also a recently promoted team, and returned to the second division a year later.

One of the candidates to accompany them in relegation, Burnley (16th) lost at home 3-1 against Aston Villa (11th). With this defeat, the ‘Clarets’ are provisionally out of relegation but could return to the red zone on Sunday.
