Man City wins again, Tottenham crushes Newcastle

Manchester City regained their joy with a 2-1 comeback victory away at Luton Town in round 16 of the Premier League.

The victory over Luton helped coach Pep Guardiola's team end a four-match streak of draws and losses in the top flight of English football.

Before that, the defending champion had to go through three draws with Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and lost to Aston Villa.

This result helps Manchester City continue to stand in fourth place in the Premier League rankings with 33 points, 4 points behind the leading team Liverpool in the race for the throne.

Meanwhile, Luton Town is still in the "red light" group with only 9 points after 16 matches, 4 points less than the safe group.

In this match, Manchester City was the better team, putting pressure on the opponent but could not score. Instead, Man City conceded a goal at the end of the first half.

In the 45+2 minute, Andros Townsend made an accurate cross from the right wing, creating an opportunity for Elijah Adebayo to jump high and head the ball close to the goal, opening the score 1-0 for the home team.

Allowing their opponents to take the lead, Manchester City fought back strongly in the second half and their efforts paid off with Bernardo Silva equalizing 1-1 in the 62nd minute.

Just 3 minutes later, Julian Alvarez escaped down the right wing before making an accurate cross for Jack Grealish to tap the ball into the net from close range, raising the score to 2-1 for Man City.

In the remaining minutes, the home team Luton increased the pressure but could not score another goal against Man City, thereby accepting a 1-2 defeat.

In the highlight match of round 16, Tottenham had a great day of competition to win 4-1 against Newcastle United.

Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Destiny Udogie all contributed greatly to help Tottenham end their recent poor run of form.

Son Heung-min played the role of creator when he had two favorable passes for Destiny Udogie and Richarlison to score to help Tottenham take the lead after the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, Tottenham continued to play with excitement and had a goal to increase the score to 3-0 by Richarlison in the 60th minute.

In the 85th minute, Son Heung-min ended his impressive day with a goal from the penalty spot, helping Tottenham lead 4-0.

It was not until the time entered the extra minutes that Newcastle United got an honorary goal from Joelinton, thereby sadly leaving the field with a final defeat of 1-4.

The resounding victory helped coach Ange Postecoglou's team stand in 5th place but with 30 points, 3 points behind 4th place Man City.

As for Newcastle United, this was their second consecutive heavy defeat, thereby continuing to stagnate in 7th place with 26 points.

This result prevented the Magpies from having the most favorable preparation for the "life-or-death" match with AC Milan in the final round of the Champions League group stage.

Also in this round, Chelsea suffered their second consecutive defeat when they lost 0-2 in their away match at Everton's Goodison Park.

Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin took turns scoring to help Everton cause sadness for the home team at Stamford Bridge.

After 16 rounds, Chelsea is still quietly in 12th place in the Premier League with 13 points and continues to face difficulties in the race for a place in the European Cup next season.

Not only that, Mauricio Pochettino's team also suffered a big loss when both Reece James and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez were injured.

''Reece felt something in his hamstring. He's definitely injured, but we don't know how serious it is, and Robert Sanchez has a knee problem," said manager Pochettino after the match.

Reece James has suffered another injury after limping off in the 26th minute of Chelsea's game against Everton on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Everton are making steady progress in the relegation race. They have 13 points and are 4 points clear of the "red light" group.

In this round, Fulham continued to be the most impressive team when they had a big 5-0 victory over West Ham United. Raul Jimenez, Willian, Tosin Adarabioyo, Harry Wilson and Carlos Vinicius took turns scoring to help Fulham win.

Previously, in round 15, Fulham also had a similar 5-0 victory in the match against Nottingham Forest at home ground Craven Cottage.

The impressive result helped Fulham rise to 10th place with 21 points, 3 points behind the opponent ranked right above, West Ham United./.
