Newcastle thrash Manchester United in the English Premier League, Chelsea fail to cope with weak opponent

In the 32nd round of the English Premier League, Chelsea hosted outsider Ipswich, while Newcastle hosted Manchester United. "Report" informs that the Chelsea - Ipswich match, managed by chief referee Stuart Attwell, took place at Stamford Bridge, while the Newcastle - Manchester United match, managed by Chris Kavanagh, took place at St James' Park. In the first game, although the guests were close to a sensation, the "nobles" did not allow it. Thus, the first half of the match ended with the confident advantage of the "tractor drivers": Julio Enciso scored in the 19th minute, and Ben Johnson scored in the 31st minute. However, in the second half of the match, the home team restored the status quo: in the 46th minute, Ipswich's Congolese defender Axel Tuanzebe scored an own goal, and in the 79th minute, Jaydon Sancho put the final point in the match - 2:2. In the Newcastle - Manchester United match, five goals were scored. The teams agreed to a draw in the first half of the match: Sandro Tonali put the "magpies" ahead in the 24th minute, and Alejandro Garnacho equalized the numbers on the scoreboard in the 37th minute. In the second half, Newcastle disappointed the "red devils" three more times thanks to goals from Harvey Barnes (49", 64") and Bruno Guimaraes (77") - 4:1. Thus, after the 32nd round, Chelsea, with 54 points, equalized their points with Aston Villa and rose to 6th place. Ipswich (21 points) in 18th place remained in place. After this victory, Newcastle (56) entered the top four, leaving behind Aston Villa (54), Chelsea (54) and Manchester City (55). The "magpies", who have one game in hand, are one point ahead of Nottingham Forest and seven points ahead of Arsenal. Ruben Amorim's players (38) fell to 14th place against the background of Everton's victory yesterday. Although the team is unlikely to be relegated, it is also out of the race to participate in European tournaments next year. However, the "red devils" continue to fight in the Europa League. A possible championship in the tournament will give the "mancunians" a ticket to the Champions League. It should be noted that in other matches of the day, Tottenham returned empty-handed from their visit to Wolverhampton - 4:2, and Liverpool snatched 3 points from West Ham in the last minutes.
