EPL Midweek wrap: Chelsea see off City as Man United, Liverpool drop points

The Premier League was busy in course of this week as matches for week 31 scheduled to be underway.

First off on Tuesday night Manchester United needed Zlatan Ibrahimovic?’s late equalizer from the penalty spot to force a 1-1 draw against Ronald Koeman’s side, Everton.

Phil Jagielka had put the visitors in the lead in the 22nd minute scoring his first goal since 2015.

Jamie Vardy and Islam Slimani were on target after a 2-0 home win, condemning Sunderland at the bottom of the table with 20 points after 30 matches.

The Foxes have made history as the only club by becoming the second team in the Premier League to lose five consecutive matches and then immediately win five consecutive games. Spurs had done it in 2004.

On Wednesday, league leaders Chelsea played hosts to Manchester city after a rude 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace during the weekend.

The Citizens, after battling for a 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Sunday, lost 2-1 to the Blue thanks to Eden Hazard’s brace.

The early goals in the first half from the Belgian made Pep Guardiola’s top four finish wallow in doubts. The 26-year old became the first Chelsea player to score both home and away against Man City in the Premier League since Ivorian Solomon Kalou in 2007/08 campaign.

Arsenal welcomed London rivals, West Ham at the Emirates for another fixture. Amid pressure from fans due to their current unimpressive performance, the Gunners proved to the world that they know how to win after hitting three unanswered goals past the Hammers.

Mesut Ozil opened the scoring few minutes after the break with his mates Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud also finding the back of the net on Wednesday night.

Tottenham Hotspurs, who were not without Kenyan Victor Wanyama, rallied from behind to register an emphatic 3-1 away win over Swansea City.

Three quick stoppage goals from Dele Alli, Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen cancelled Wayne Routledge’s goal which went in early in the game.

Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw thanks to Andy King’s strike three minutes to clock handing the Cherries a well-deserved point at Anfield.
