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."

FA Cup: United win on penalties

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
