On Saturday, the 33rd round of the English Premier League continues with six more matches being played.
The country's champion, but London's "Chelsea" club showing poor form this season, played away against "Swansea City". Guus Hiddink's "Blues" had to admit a minimal advantage to the "Swans".
The mid-table "Chelsea" team conceded the only goal in the 25th minute of the match. Gylfi Sigurdsson sent a high ball into Thibaut Courtois' goal with a technical shot. "Chelsea" had control of the ball, but the "Swans" were sharper in attack.
In another match, "Southampton" battled "Newcastle United" in front of their home crowd. Rafael Benitez's "Magpies" lost 3-1 to the hosts. The former Real Madrid strategist still hasn't secured a single victory with "Newcastle".
In a match between table neighbors, "Watford" and Liverpool's "Everton" played to a 1-1 draw. Both goals came in added time in the first half. James McCarthy put the "Toffees" ahead, but the "Hornets" quickly equalized to earn a point.
The remaining two matches ended with another defeat for "Aston Villa" and a narrow victory for "Crystal Palace" against "Norwich City".
In the last match of the evening, "Manchester City" faced off against "West Brom" and defeated them 2-1 after a fierce battle, earning three important points in the race for a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
In the 6th minute, the visitors took the lead. However, "West Brom" didn't enjoy this lead for long as Sergio Aguero converted a penalty in the 19th minute. The decisive goal in the second half was scored by returning from injury Samir Nasri, who made his mark for the second time this season.
