Today in England, the 36th round of the "Premier" league matches are being played.
Earlier in the match, Liverpool's "Everton" and "Sunderland" footballers took to the field. Although the "Toffees" controlled the ball for 73 percent of the game time at home, after 9 minutes into the second half, Daniel Graham managed to put the "Black Cats" ahead. A little later, despite not being able to take advantage of their territorial advantage, Roberto Martinez's players had to pull the ball out of their own net again, as the visitors secured victory in the 85th minute through Jermain Defoe.
After this victory, "Sunderland" took a firm step in the fight for survival and moved from 18th place to 14th place.
The matches that started at 17:00 Lithuanian time did not go well for the teams fighting for a place in the top five.
"Southampton" lost 0-2 to "Leicester City" in an away game, who were showing excellent form and rose to 15th place from the bottom of the table, breaking away from the relegation zone by three points. The "Foxes" victory was guaranteed by Riyad Mahrez's brace.
Meanwhile, London's "Tottenham" experienced a setback. They were defeated at home by mid-table "Stoke City", with goals scored by Charlie Adam, Steven N'Zonzi, and Mame Biram Diouf. However, the "Spurs" played almost the entire second half without Vlado Chiriches, who was sent off, but the home team still conceded two goals.
In the evening matches, "Manchester United" in fourth place traveled to the capital to face "Crystal Palace". The visitors took the lead in the 19th minute when Juan Mata successfully converted a penalty kick, but Jason Puncheon equalized after the break.
Alan Pardew's players fought hard, but the "Red Devils" were able to prove their advantage. Marouane Fellaini scored the winning goal after Ashley Young's pass.
