On Sunday in England, two matches of the 21st round of the Premier League were played.
In the earlier match, Alan Pardew's Newcastle team at home had to acknowledge Manchester City's advantage.
In the 8th minute, Edin Dzeko put Manuel Pellegrini's team ahead.
Shortly after, Cheick Tiote's shot hit the back of Joe Hart's goal, but after discussions among the referees, the goal was not counted due to offside.
In the second half, Newcastle attacked more actively, while Manchester City's attacks posed no less danger to Tim Krul's goal.
In additional time, the victory for the citizens was secured by Alvaro Negredo, who had escaped one-on-one against the goalkeeper.
After this match, Man City climbed to the top of the table at least until Monday.
In the later match, there was a goal party - Liverpool players defeated Stoke City with a score of 5 - 3.
In the beginning of the match, Brendan Rodgers' players scored an own goal after Ryan Shawcross's goal.
Shortly after, Luis Suarez doubled the lead by taking advantage of a defensive mistake by the opponents.
However, towards the end of the first half, everything turned upside down when Peter Crouch scored, and Charlie Adam equalized with a long-range strike.
In the beginning of the second half, the visitors regained the lead after Steven Gerrard scored a penalty earned by Raheem Sterling.
In the 71st minute, L. Suarez scored again after a great assist from Daniel Sturridge.
In the 85th minute, Jonathan Walters gave hope to the hosts with a shot that passed straight through Simon Mignolet's hands.
Nevertheless, D. Sturridge took advantage of L. Suarez's pass and outsmarted the opponents' defense, sealing the victory in these matches where Liverpool won three important points and returned to fourth place in the league table.
The last match of the round will be played on Monday evening. At Villa Park stadium, Aston Villa will host Arsenal, who will aim to regain the top position in the English Premier League.
