PL: Manchester United slap West Ham, Chelsea worried against Wolves

Finally something positive at Manchester United? This Sunday, on the occasion of the 23rd day of the Premier League, Manchester United (8th) and West Ham (6th), both at the gates of European places, faced each other. After a relatively calm start to the match, Bruno Fernandes and his teammates took the lead thanks to an exceptional inspiration from Rasmus Hojlund in the 23rd minute. The Danish international striker now seems to have found his feet and has had a string of good performances under the colors of the Red Devils. Controlling the rest of the first half, Erik ten Hag’s team then widened the gap with a goal from Alejandro Garnacho in the 49th minute. The Argentine winger even scored twice at the end of the match, in the 85th minute. With this 3-0 victory, Manchester United overtakes its opponent of the day and moves into 6th place, eight points from the qualifying places in the Champions League. After Kobbie Mainoo’s feat three days ago, Manchester United went on a run of five games without defeat in all competitions.

Wolves overthrow Blues

Unhappy loser against the Red Devils last Thursday, the Wolves were keen to redeem themselves. In a mid-table duel, the confrontation between Chelsea and Wolverhampton started promisingly for the Blues, who quickly opened the scoring with a goal from Cole Palmer, well served by Moisés Caicedo (19th). However, a loss of ball from the Ecuadorian midfielder led to the equalizer from Matheus Cunha (22nd), followed by an own goal from Axel Disasi (43rd). Reversing the situation, Wolverhampton took off with a double from Matheus Cunha (63rd) then a hat-trick from the penalty spot (82nd). Despite a goal from Thiago Silva at the end of the match (86th), Chelsea could not avoid defeat. With this 4-2 result, Wolverhampton (10th) overtakes Chelsea (11th) in the standings. Earlier in the day, Bournemouth (12th) shared the points with Nottingham Forest (16th) in a 1-1 draw.
