Premier League Roundup, Matchday 35
Matchday 35 of the Premier League has wrapped up, showcasing thrilling games, impressive performances from players, and surprising results. Below is the Premier League roundup for this round of games.
Manchester City 1-0 Wolves
Manchester City achieved their fourth straight win in the Premier League, boosting their prospects of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season, by beating Wolves 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium. This victory marked City’s fifth consecutive home win against Wolves, while it also ended Wolves’ six-match winning streak.
Aston Villa 1-0 Fulham
Aston Villa maintained their chances of finishing in the top five by edging out Fulham 1-0 at Villa Park, which also marked their 17th consecutive unbeaten home match in the Premier League. This victory puts the Villans just three points behind Chelsea, who are in fifth place.
Leicester City 2-0 Southampton
Leicester City broke their streak of nine straight Premier League losses without scoring by beating last-place Southampton 2-0, leaving the visitors without a win in their last 11 league games (2 draws, 9 losses).
Everton 2-2 Ipswich
In a Premier League match at Goodison Park, Everton squandered a 2-0 advantage, resulting in a 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town, extending their winless streak at home to six games. This draw offers little benefit to Everton, who will now focus on their final match at Goodison against Southampton in two weeks.
Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth
Arsenal’s hopes of securing second place in the Premier League were greatly diminished following an unexpected 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, who recorded their first league double against the Gunners. Iraola’s team celebrated their inaugural away victory over Arsenal, moving to eighth in the league and improving their prospects for European qualification for the first time.
West Ham 1-1 Tottenham
West Ham United’s poor streak in the Premier League without a win reached eight games following a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium. This outcome ended Spurs’ four-match losing streak away from home in the league.
Brighton 1-1 Newcastle
Newcastle’s aspirations for a top-five finish were dampened after they drew 1-1 with Brighton. This result extended their winless streak in away Premier League matches to eight games. The match was fiercely contested, with two VAR reviews preventing the Magpies from securing a crucial victory. Ultimately, both teams had to settle for a single point, which did not significantly enhance their chances of qualifying for Europe.
Brentford 4-3 Manchester United
Manchester United’s run without a victory in the Premier League extended to six games following a 4-3 loss to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, which enabled the home side to climb into the top half of the standings.
Chelsea 3-1 Liverpool
Chelsea earned a vital three points in their quest for a top five position in the Premier League by beating the newly crowned champions Liverpool 3-1 at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are now two points clear of Nottingham Forest and are gearing up for an important match against fellow Champions League hopefuls Newcastle at St. James’ Park.
Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest is still outside the Premier League’s five UEFA Champions League qualification positions after drawing 1-1 with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. This outcome means that Forest has only secured one victory in their last five league matches.
