This Sunday afternoon offered three Premier League games at 4 p.m. before the clash between Manchester City and Liverpool. Brentford (16th at kick-off), winners of Chelsea last week at Stamford Bridge, won again against a London team, with their victory against West Ham (6th) obtained thanks to their attacking duo Mbeumo / Toney. A few days before their trip to Lyon to try to win a ticket for the semi-finals of the Europa League, the Hammers therefore bow to the promoted and can almost say goodbye to European qualification next season, while the Bees pass 13th.
At the same time, in a misclassified clash, Norwich (20th) hosted Burnley (18th). The Canaries, dead last in the Premier League, come back to three points behind their opponent of the day with their fifth victory of the season obtained thanks to goals from the former Nice, Pierre Lees-Melou and the Finn Teemu Pukki. In the last match of the afternoon, Leicester won against Crystal Palace, thanks in particular to a very good Dewsbury-Hall author of a goal and an assist for Lookman. The Foxes are 9th, three points ahead and two games less than their opponents of the day, tenth.
