While the start of the meeting between Brighton and Aston Villa was delayed due to traffic jams in the city located on the edges of the Channel, three meetings were disputed this Saturday at 4 p.m. as part of the 27th Premier League day. Manchester United first came up against a brave Watford team at Old Trafford (0-0). A frustrating game for the Red Devils, who tried everything in front of their audience, as evidenced by this post from Ronaldo (5th), who was also denied a goal for an offside position (15th). But the Mancunians generally lacked accuracy in the last gesture, like Fernandes (12th, 19th, 27th, 90th + 3), when they did not come across a Foster of the big days. MU will therefore not have beaten the Hornets this season after their 4-1 defeat in the first leg, and sees its 4th place more than ever threatened by Arsenal. Watford, past close to the feat (90th + 3), takes an important point with a view to maintaining.
On the other hand, everything is better for Newcastle, who, still without Saint-Maximin, lined up a 7th match without defeat by winning a crucial match in the race to stay on the lawn of promoted Brentford (2-0). The early expulsion of Da Silva, for an uncontrolled gesture and a bad sole on the ankle of Targett (11th), may have something to do with it. If Wood came close to opening the scoring (26th), it was finally Fraser who placed a cross on the head of Joelinton, the first scorer of the match (33rd). Schär then turned into a leader to serve brilliantly on a red carpet Willock, author of his 2nd goal in 2 games (44th). Fifth success of the season for the partners of Guimarães, returned to the game, which climbs to 14th place and passes the Brentford of a Christian Eriksen author of an interesting entry for his big comeback in the standings. Finally, Crystal Palace conceded their 12th draw of the season against Burnley (1-1), still first in relegation.
