The latest matches of the 7th round of the English Premier League were intense. In the center-of-the-day games, Newcastle secured a convincing victory, Everton ended their unbeaten streak, Aston Villa won for the fourth time in a row, while Brighton avoided a goalless draw away with a late goal while Chelsea edged champions Liverpool.
Newcastle 2:0 Nottingham Forest
Goals: Gimaraes (58), Voltemade (84, pen).
As expected at St. James’ Park, the hosts strengthened in the second half. Bruno Guimarães opened the scoring in the 58th minute with a precise shot from the edge of the penalty area. At the end of the game, Voltemade scored a point heavier than the 11-meter mark – 2:0. The victory allowed the “Shield Keepers” to consolidate their position in the middle of the tournament table, while the “Forest Rangers” again remained without points.
Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace
Goals: Ndiaye (76, pen.), Grealish (90+3) – Munos (37).
There was a fierce struggle at Goodison Park. As part of the visitors, Munos opened the scoring in the 37th minute, but the scenario changed in the second half: Iluman Ndiaye confidently converted a penalty in the 76th minute, and in extra time, Jack Grealish delighted his team with a 2-1 victory. This ended Glasner’s 19-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Aston Villa 2:1 Burnley
Goals: Malen (25, 63) – Ugochukvu (78).
Malen, who became a star with a brace in the match in Birmingham, became the main character – he scored in the 25th and 63rd minutes. For the visitors, Ugochukvu cleared the intrigue in the 78th minute, but the score remained unchanged. Emery’s team recorded their fourth consecutive victory in all competitions.
Wolverhampton 1:1 Brighton
Goals: Verbryuggen (21, own goal) – van Hekke (86).
At Molinioux, the hosts took the lead in the 21st minute with an undesirable own goal from Werbrüggen. Brighton found their long-held goal in the 86th minute thanks to van Hecke – 1:1. De Zerbi’s men snatched a valuable point away.
As the round continues, the situation in the table gets even hotter: some are trying to extend their series, while others are trying to find themselves after a difficult start to the season. In the EPL, each round means new intrigue and new heroes
Brentford 0:1 Manchester City
Goals: Haaland (9)
Manchester City earned a valuable three points to get their title race back on track as Pep Guardiola’s side banished the memories of midweek to earn a 1-0 win over Brentford. Erling Haaland continued his impressive form by forcing his way through the Bees’ centre-back to power home the only goal of the game in the ninth minute and City were in cruise control at half-time.
