EPL Weekend Results: Chelsea Draw, Liverpool March On, Newcastle Thump Man United

The Premier League delivered another exciting round of matches this weekend, filled with drama, surprises, and crucial moments as teams continued their push for top positions and survival.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea had an unexpectedly tough game against newly promoted Ipswich Town. The home team looked off pace early, and things went wrong quickly when Julio Enciso scored in the 15th minute for Ipswich. The visitors stunned the crowd again when Ben Johnson added another goal in the 31st minute, putting Chelsea 2-0 down by halftime.

Chelsea came out in the second half with more urgency. They got a lucky break when Axel Tuanzebe, under pressure, accidentally scored an own goal. This gave Chelsea some hope.

Pushing forward with more energy, the home team eventually found the equalizer in the 79th minute. “Jadon Sancho unleashed a stunning strike from outside the box that curled past the goalkeeper.” Despite dominating the final minutes and creating many chances, Chelsea couldn’t find the winner and had to settle for a draw. The result was disappointing, especially as they chase a spot in next season’s Champions League.

Over at Molineux, Wolverhampton Wanderers stunned Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling 4-2 victory. The game started with immediate action as Rayan Aït-Nouri scored in just the second minute. Spurs then suffered another blow when Djed Spence scored an own goal in the 35th minute, doubling Wolves’ advantage.

Tottenham came back fighting in the second half. Mathys Tel scored in the 58th minute, and Richarlison added another in the 70th minute, bringing them level and raising hopes of a turnaround.

But those hopes didn’t last. Wolves quickly responded with goals from Jørgen Strand Larsen in the 65th minute and Matheus Cunha in the 72nd. This sealed the win for Wolves and dealt a heavy blow to Spurs’ top-four ambitions.

At Anfield, Liverpool kept their title hopes alive with a hard-earned 2-1 win over West Ham United. Mohamed Salah gave the Reds the lead early, scoring in the 12th minute after a well-worked team move.

Just before halftime, Liverpool’s defense slipped up, and Jarrod Bowen took advantage to score the equalizer for West Ham.

But Liverpool bounced back again. In the 68th minute, Darwin Núñez put the home team back in front with a calm finish in the box, sending fans into celebration.

This win moves Liverpool even closer to the league title. They now need just two more victories to be crowned champions.

At St James’ Park, Newcastle United delivered a dominant performance with a 4-1 win over Manchester United. Sandro Tonali started the scoring with a brilliant volley after a smart pass from Alexander Isak. Manchester United replied before halftime through Alejandro Garnacho, who scored only his second goal in 29 games.

In the second half, Newcastle took full control. Harvey Barnes quickly restored the lead with a goal from a Jacob Murphy assist, then scored again after taking advantage of a defensive mistake by Noussair Mazraoui. The winger has now scored eight league goals this season, making the most of his extra game time while Anthony Gordon is out injured.

The fourth goal came when Altay Bayindir, filling in for Andre Onana, miscleared the ball. Joelinton picked it up and passed to Bruno Guimaraes, who calmly finished to seal the result. The crowd erupted as Newcastle completed their first league double over Manchester United in 93 years.

Harvey Barnes was named Player of the Match for his outstanding performance. The win pushed Newcastle up to fourth place, overtaking Manchester City, while Manchester United dropped to 14th, with a negative goal difference of -6.

As the season nears its end, every point is crucial. The weekend’s results have raised the tension even more, setting up an intense and unpredictable finish to the Premier League campaign.
