Premier League five ending: Blue Moon and Blues win the goal into the Champions League, Manchester United saves Newcastle

Sports Weekly All-Media Reporter Yan Yu

The last round, 3 tickets and 5 teams compete, there is no reason why this scene is not lively. Although in terms of the results, the final distribution is no different from the situation in the penultimate round, Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea have qualified and will participate in the Champions League next season with Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Villa and Nottingham Forest will enter the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Cup respectively, the process of competing for five is still thrilling. To sum up, Manchester City and Chelsea advanced by their own ability to win, while Newcastle, who lost 0-1, was lucky to be rescued by Manchester United.

If you just look at the results, it would be a little calm, but the actual process is not easy. In the first half of the 5 teams, Manchester City scored only in the first half, which was enough for Premier League fans who kept browsing their phones to watch the scores. Of course, although they are all 0-0, the difference is also very big. For example, Newcastle, who will definitely return to the Champions League as long as he wins at home, has a bit of awesomeness, and has tested Everton goalkeeper Pickford several times at the beginning. If the Three Lions National Gate hadn't been able to "work hard" and block the near corner with their feet several times, the magpies would have really had the chance to open up the situation quickly.

Another direct dialogue between competitors, Nottingham Forest's home game against Chelsea was not exciting enough. The Forest team, which must win, has changed its usual attitude of controlling less balls and counterattacking more. After the game, it took the initiative to attack and frequently used high-level pressure to win the ball. However, Maresca, who passed the flow, arranged for the Blues to play a defensive counterattack, and did not start to control the ball until the halftime break was approaching. The quality of the offensive between the two sides was not very high. In the first 45 minutes, only Forest center Wood shot with a shot and kicked high when the goalkeeper made an interference.

As for Villa's game, the scene is the most surprising. Originally, Manchester United was bullied this season, and they had lost 9 times at home in the league. In addition, the negative factor of losing the Europa League final looks like a boy who gave up points. But the reality is that after losing the championship, Amorin's team took the initiative to be shameless and brave, and it was too powerful to resist Villa as soon as it came. It was just because goalkeeper Martinez performed well and the Manchester United players still had poor shooting skills, so the score was not changed. But as the half ended, the balance of the game still tilted a little: Cash made a mistake in the pass under pressure, Hoylen went alone and was knocked down by Martin, who left the court because of the red card.

With these preparations, is it easy to guess the trend in the second half? There are prompts, but the prompt may not be accurate. For example, Villa, who was one less, was indeed at a disadvantage, and was quickly scored by Hoylen, but offside first and a false alarm... and Chelsea, who was interested in taking the lead, did wait for the opponent's mistake. Before assisting Colewell in the 50th minute, the source of the opportunity was the Forest's full-back headed the ball to clear the Blues' corner kick and then made a second attack. Previously, Nuno Santo's team had long been among the top three in the Premier League, but in the end they still lacked the momentum and could not be a super dark horse. But then again, this former relegation team was already a good result for the European Cup. After an hour of the game, the climax gradually came. First, Newcastle gave the audience a surprise - not a goal, but a goal concealed. The magpies were in full attack, and Everton's sneak attack was not a vegetarian. Mikorenko gave a very comfortable cross, allowing Alcalaz, who was less than 1.8 meters tall, to easily hit the header in the gap between Newcastle's tall central defender. If the score ended at that time, Villa would surpass Newcastle to enter the Champions League, perform well throughout the season, and the Magpie, who has ended many years of championship drought, has to go to the Europa League, and the season note "lose the Champions League qualification at the last moment." Fortunately, Manchester United became the savior of the Magpies.

Judging from the performance of the whole game, it is not surprising that Villa lost to Manchester United, but it is controversial that before Manchester United's first record in the 76th minute, Villa actually scored a goal but was judged invalid. This ball was snatched by Villa midfielder Rodgers from Manchester United goalkeeper Bayander and shot into the empty goal, but many people also believe that Bayander did not really control the ball, so Rodgers did not hit the goalkeeper for a foul. Former England women's football forward Alan White, who served as a BBC guest, said: "The ball has not been held down yet, and was stabbed by Rodgers. I personally think there is no problem with this goal."

Not only that, the Premier League broadcast signal has also replayed this incident many times, as if it was "calling injustice" for Villa. But this is how football is, and the determined results cannot be changed. Instead of complaining about the referee, Villa might as well think about why the team was headed by Amad, who was less than 1.75 meters tall - B Fei's reverse cross was very accurate, and Villa's left defense also showed clear gaps. As for the penalty kick Erickson scored, it was another threat posed by Amad's side. After Mazen was convicted of a foul, Villa coach Emery was very dissatisfied and kept applauding, but what's the use of such "protest"?

Finally, I mentioned Manchester City again. Although many bystanders are not interested in watching the fun, they really want to see what Guardiola is like to lead the team to play in the Europa League, but it is really not difficult to advance if you don’t lose to Fulham. Lan Yue was indeed the one who won the most in the five teams, scoring one goal in the first and second half. However, it may not be appropriate to say that it is "no blood" and Blue Moon's defense is not very stable. Fulham has many good opportunities, but he missed too much. If he doesn't believe it, he looks at the data: Although the farmers' expected goal value of 1.74 is much lower than Manchester City's 2.84, there are 5 "major chances" in the former, while Blue Moon has only 2. This means that Manchester City has overwhelmed their opponents with offense, but defense has to be practiced more next season.
