Total suspense in the Premier League. With his victory at Burnley (0-1) this Wednesday evening, Manchester City just slips past Arsenalthanks to a goal from Erling Haaland at the start of the match. Perfectly tied (70 points, +37 goal difference and the same record: 21v, 7d and 5d), Cityzens et Gunners are decided by the number of goals scored. And in this area, it is Rayan Cherki’s teammates who are most successful, with 66 goals scored, compared to 63 for Arsenal.
This second criterion which prevails in the event of a perfect tie allows City to move into the leadership chair with five days remaining. Note that the calendar cityzen (Everton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa) is roughly equivalent to that of Arsenal (Newcastle, Fulham, West Ham, Burnley, Crystal Palace), which must also manage a double confrontation in the C1 semi-finals
Burnley relegated
Conversely, a few days after Wolverhampton, Burnley have just been relegated to the Championship. A third descent in five seasons for the Clarets, who never stop doing the elevator. A big blow for the three French club Maxime Estève, Loum Tchaouna and Lesley Ugochukwu, who will either have to find a new base or face the reality of D2.
Burnley, this English Metz.
