Final EPL Table After Today's Games as Man United Revive European Hopes, While Chelsea Won

opera.com 2024/11/1

Manchester United signed off at Old Trafford for the season with a 3-2 win in an extremely entertaining clash.

Mainoo put the hosts in front at the break but Gordon put Newcastle level early in the second half. Diallo's fine finish restored the lead for Man United and substitute Hojlund scored just 106 seconds after coming off the bench to seemingly put the game beyond doubt.

But Hall's excellent strike for Newcastle - whose xG of 2.32 was better than the home side's 1.44 - in injury time ensured there were a few last-minute nerves.

Ultimately, though, Man United held out and they are now eighth in the table, level on 57 points with Newcastle in seventh, albeit the Magpies have a significantly better goal difference.

The Blues got the job done with goals from Palmer and Nkunku as they moved up to sixth place and could get as high as fifth on the final day, if Tottenham slip up.

As for Brighton, they were given a lifeline when James saw red for lashing out on Pedro, but Welbeck left it too late with his goal as Chelsea survived the late Seagull pressure.
