Manchester United is looking at Newcastle United’s back in the Premier League, but due to the defeats against West Ham and Brighton, they have to look over their shoulders too, as Liverpool is closing in. After the Magpies’ surprise draw in Leeds earlier today (2-2), the Red Devils had a chance to level with Newcastle with a win against Wolves, and they made it: Manchester – Wolverhampton 2-0.Goal⚽️ – MartialMUN 1-0 WOL (32mins) pic.twitter.com/HxW1RKIAAU— Goal.com (@Fearnot001) May 13, 2023 The home team was dominant throughout the match, created more chances, but kept the score low, as it is a tradition between these two clubs. Only one of the last eight matches between the sides has seen more than one goal scored. And the reason for that is Antony’s misses. The Brazilian assisted to Martial for the first goal, but all in all had three excellent chances to score but missed all of them in the 9th, 29th and 59th minutes. But the visitors couldn’t punish Antony for those misses because they failed to make a single shot on target.Taiwo Awoniyi gets the score level again. 2-2. Crazy second half.#CHENFO #PremierLeague pic.twitter.com/3GypLCnCj3— $ (@samirsynthesis) May 13, 2023 The first goal came in the 32nd minute when Fernandes came to the penalty area and passed the ball to Antony, who drew Bentley from his goal before squaring for Martial, who put the ball into the empty net. Home fans were at ease since their team has a powerful tradition behind them: Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 133 Premier League matches when leading at half-time (W114, D19). And they continued the tradition today. In injury time, the recovered Alejandro Garnacho came as a sub and scored for the final result.Southampton will be playing in the Championship for the first time since the 2011/12 season.Imagine if they kept this XI together. 😭 pic.twitter.com/U7uau8pu3Q— Squawka (@Squawka) May 13, 2023 Unlike Red Devils, Chelsea had a perfect opportunity to finally bring joy to its fans and win at Stamford Bridge against relegation strugglers Nottingham Forest, but ultimately failed to hold on to the lead: Chelsea – Nottingham 2-2. After their first win under Frank Lampard (3-1 in Bournemouth), the Blues had the perfect opportunity to make a mini-winning series, but Taiwo Awoniyi prevented them with a brace. The Nigerian was there to shock the stadium with an unlikely lead after only 13 minutes, and he was also present to shock the home crowd in the 62nd minute and level the score. In between those two goals, Chelsea was playing much better, had better chances and finally turned the game around with a brace from a forgotten man Raheem Sterling. After a while, the former City winger started the match and produced a City-like performance. Unlucky for Chelsea, Awoniyi made sure his team earns a valuable point in their relegation battle.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 36Saturday Leeds – Newcastle 2-2 (1-1)/Ayling 7, Trippier 79 og – Wilson 31 pen, 69 pen/Aston Villa – Tottenham 2-1 (1-0)/Ramsey 8, Luis 72 – Kane (p) 90/Man.
