Premier League: A pivotal day in the title race

-

 Sunday 11th May was a pivotal day in the 2022/2023 title race

Let's explore the two matches that have almost decided the destination of the Premier League trophy.

Everton 0 - 3 Manchester City

Ilkay Gundogan was the star of the show for Manchester City in this match. The German midfielder was involved in all three of City's goals with a sublime flicked finish before providing the cross for Erling Haaland's close-range header.

The midfielder also curled in a glorious free-kick from the edge of the penalty area. In the end, this was a routine away for City.

The loss for Everton leaves them looking nervously over their shoulders with two games remaining, hovering just one point above the relegation zone.

Ryan, a Manchester City Season Ticket holder, told us: "This was an awesome result. We are well in the driving seat for the Premier League title now."

City's win meant that Arsenal had to win to keep any meaningful challenge going. It didn't go according to plan for The Gunners.

Arsenal 0 - 3 Brighton & Hove Albion

On what turned out to be a deeply frustrating day for Arsenal, Leandro Trossard hit the bar. Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka both then went close before Julio Enciso's close-range header put Brighton ahead.

Deniz Undav then doubled the lead for the away side after lobbing Aaron Ramsdale in the 86th minute before Pervis Estupinan added to Arsenal's misery with Brighton's third towards the end of stoppage time.

Daniel Jordan, an Arsenal fan from Dover, told us: "A poor performance from us, but we still managed to create some decent chances. It's just a pity the title has gone now, and we haven't taken it until the later part of the month."

For Brighton, this represents another successful day in a fantastic season. Their campaign has also seen them reach the FA-Cup semi-final and earn doubles over Manchester United and Chelsea.

Jacob, a Brighton Season Ticket holder, told us: "A fantastic performance. A perfect way to recover from last week's awful performance against Everton."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
