Krejčí Error & Haaland vs West Ham – Wolves Loss | Aktuálně.cz

Manchester City cruised to an easy home win over West Ham when Haaland opened the scoring in the fifth minute. The Norwegian gunner then assisted Reijnders for a goal seven minutes before the break and closed the scoring himself in the 69th minute.

He has already scored 104 goals in the Premier League and surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo by one in the all-time top scorer table. 114 games were enough for Haaland. Ronaldo played 236 times for Manchester United.

In this league season, Haaland already has 19 goals and is clearly the top scorer. No one has scored more goals before Christmas in Premier League history.

Pep Guardiola’s men will await the evening’s result for a point from second-placed Arsenal, who will be at Everton. West Ham are relegated to 18th place, three points behind 17th-placed Leeds, who host Crystal Palace tonight.

Lewis-Potter scored two goals in the second half for Brentford to win on the field of last-place Wolverhampton. The failure of the “Wolves” was underlined by an unconverted penalty by attacker Larsen in the 89th minute.

Wolverhampton have just two points after 17 rounds, which is the worst balance in the history of English league competitions. Only Newport County in the fourth division in 1970/71 and Sheffield United in the Premier League in the 2020/21 season were just as miserable.

Even Nick Woltemade’s first two-goal performance in their jersey was not enough for Newcastle footballers to win over Chelsea. In the first half, the home team clearly dominated and could have regretted that their lead was not even higher. But in the second act, the picture of the match changed completely.

Captain James equalized in the 49th minute with a free kick, and 17 minutes later Joao Pedro equalized after Thiawa’s mistake. Both teams had a chance to take the lead before the end of the game, but they lacked precision in the end. Chelsea remained in fourth place in the table, Newcastle is eleventh and six points behind today’s opponent.

Liverpool won 2-1 at Tottenham and jumped to fifth place. The home team finished without two sent off.

Tottenham already lost the expelled Simons in the 33rd minute, who stepped hard on the calf of compatriot Van Dijk and received a red card after checking the video. Liverpool managed to use the power play only in the 56th minute, thanks to the significant contribution of the bad play of the defender Romero. Isak became the successful scorer after Wirtz’s first assist in the Premier League. The Swedish striker, who entered the game at the half-time break, had to substitute immediately after, as he was hit by defender Van De Ven during the slide and apparently injured his ankle.

The second goal of the “Reds” was added ten minutes later by Ekitiké, who confirmed his great form and netted the fifth goal in the last three rounds. Tottenham reduced in the 83rd minute thanks to substitute Richarlison, whose goal started the final pressure of “Spurs”, which was not weakened even by Romero’s second yellow card in the 93rd minute. However, goalkeeper Alisson kept the visitors in the hot moments and Liverpool took three valuable points away from London. Tottenham have won just one of their last eight rounds and are in 13th place in the table.
