In the continuation of the English Premier League / EPL aka the English Premier League week 18, Sunday, the three teams competed against their respective opponents. Coincidentally, the three teams were all visitors. Manchester City travel to Newcastle United, Liverpool travel to Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Although the three teams were the same as the visitors, the results obtained by the three teams were different.
Manchester City which travels to Newcastle’s home to appear extraordinary. Without mercy, The Citizen beat the hosts four goals. The Citizen’s four goals were scored by four different players. The first goal was scored by Ruben Dias when the game had just been running for 5 minutes. The second goal was scored by Joao Cancello in the 27th minute. The third goal was scored by Riyad Mahrez. The fourth goal was scored by Raheem Sterling four minutes before normal time in the second half ran out.

Meanwhile Liverpool and Chelsea. The two teams were not able to bring full points from their respective opponents’ cages because they were only able to play a draw. Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by Wolverhampton and Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham.
Liverpool actually had to fall behind from the hosts after The Lily Whites striker who had not scored a goal for a long time, Harry Kane scored Alisson’s goal. Kane scored when the game had only been running for 13 minutes. Liverpool could only reply to Kane’s goal in the 35th minute through Diogo Jota’s header. In the 69th minute, Andrew Robertson brought Liverpool ahead over the hosts Tottenham. But Son Heung-Min was able to reply to Andrew Robertson’s goal in the 74th minute. Tottenham 2, Liverpool 2.
The draw remained until the game was over. Tottenham and Liverpool must be willing to share the numbers. The different results obtained by Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea in the 18th week made the competition map in the top flight slightly changed. The third place in the EPL standings has not changed. Manchester City remains in first place, Liverpool in second, and Chelsea in third.
However, the acquisition of the three points became more distant. The difference in points between Manchester City and Liverpool is three points, the same as the difference in points between Liverpool and Chelsea. Slowly but surely Manchester City left the two tough competitors. That’s because Manchester City were able to beat their opponents when their two tough competitors, Liverpool and Chelsea were only able to draw. When Liverpool and Chelsea were stuck, The Citizen was able to go alone.
But the competition has only run less than half. Everything is still possible. Liverpool and Chelsea, or other teams are still very likely to coup the position of The Citizen at this time.
