Last Saturday in the English Premier League, the 26th round began, in which seven matches were played today. The first match took place at the "Stadium of Light" stadium, where the local "Sunderland" faced "Manchester United". Louis van Gaal's team suffered a defeat against the league's bottom team. The hosts broke into the lead in the 3rd minute when midfielder Wahbi Khazri took advantage of a set piece. The Tunisian national team player beat David De Gea with a penalty kick, as the Spanish goalkeeper did not see the ball due to confusion in the penalty area. However, in the 39th minute, the "Red Devils" managed to equalize the score when Anthony Martial sent the ball into the opponent's goal. In the second half, "Sunderland" continued to demonstrate a solid game. In the 82nd minute, a winning goal fell into the visitors' net, as Lamine Kone's header forced D. De Gea to make a mistake. After the loss, "Man Utd" remains in fifth place, while "Sunderland" is in 19th place. In other matches, victories were also celebrated by "Stoke City", "Watford", "West Brom", and "Southampton", while the match between "Norwich" and "West Ham" ended in a draw. In the last match of the evening, London's "Chelsea" faced "Newcastle United". Guus Hiddink's team put on a real goal show in front of their fans, celebrating a devastating victory with a 5-1 result. The most important matters of these matches were resolved by the "Blues" in the first 17 minutes. Diego Costa, Pedro, and Willian scored goals. In the second half, the same Pedro added another goal, and Bertrand Traore, who appeared on the field after a substitution, also found the net. At the end of the match, the visitors managed to score a consolation goal, but Andros Townsend's accurate shot no longer had any significance. The English champions rose to 12th place after the victory, while "Newcastle" dropped to 18th place. Results: "Sunderland" 2 - 1 "Man Utd" 3' [1 - 0] W. Khazri 39' [1 - 1] A. Martial 82' [1 - 2] D.
