"Manchester United" 1:3 "Brighton"
Having passed the tests of "Liverpool" and "Arsenal" in the last three rounds of the Premier League, and also defeating outsider "Southampton" in the previous game, "Manchester United" gave positive signals about the team's future, but "Brighton" dashed the "Red Devils"' hopes. The score was opened early in the match: Yankuba Minte scored the first goal for the visitors in the 5th minute. However, the response from Ruben Amorim's team was not long in coming: Bruno Fernandes scored from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute. This was the only goal for the home team in the game. In the 60th minute, Kaoru Mitoma scored the second goal for the "Seagulls". The final point in the match was set by Jorginho Rütter in the 76th minute. Thus, with this victory, "Brighton" (34 points) rose to 9th place. The "Red Devils" (26) remained in 13th place.
"Nottingham Forest" 3:2 "Southampton"
Nottingham Forest, fighting for a Champions League spot, was superior to the main outsider of the season, Southampton. Elliot Anderson (11), Callum Hudson-Odoi (28), and Chris Wood scored for the home team. The "Saints" only managed two goals. Jan Bednarek (60") and Paul Onuachu (90"+1) scored for the team. With this victory, the "Forest" equalized their points with "Arsenal" - 44. "Southampton", with only six points, is very close to saying goodbye to the league.
It should be noted that the leader of the championship is Arne Slot's Liverpool with 50 points (one game less).
