On Saturday evening, seven matches of the 12th round were played in the English Premier League.
Perhaps the most intense battle took place in London, where local Crystal Palace clashed with Manchester City. Yaya Toure, who made his first appearance in the English championship this season, repaid Pep Guardiola's trust with interest - the African's brace secured a 2-1 victory.
The entire match was a fierce battle. The "Citizens" took the lead when Yaya Toure, backed by Guardiola's trust, scored a fine goal.
In the second half, Man City dominated the game, but Crystal Palace launched attacks and equalized in the 66th minute. However, in the 83rd minute, Man City secured victory with another goal from Y. Toure, this time after a corner kick.
In other matches, Liverpool missed the opportunity to solidify their leadership position in the English Premier League by drawing with Southampton.
Meanwhile, defending champions Leicester continued to show poor results, losing 2-1 to Watford and occupying the 14th position with just 12 points.
At 19:30 Lithuania time, Tottenham faced West Ham in London. After a tough and dramatic battle, Spurs secured a crucial 3-2 victory.
