Two thunderous starts to the period allowed Aston Villa to celebrate the arrival on the bench of Unai Emery with a precious success (3-1) against Manchester United.
The Red Devils lost an opportunity to come back level with Tottenham in points and remain 5th with 23 units as the Villans smoke 3 points away with the red zone in 13th place.
The Birmingham club had already made the break about 11 minutes on a goal from Leon Bailey (7th) and a very nice direct free kick from Lucas Digne, back from injury (2-0, 11th).
Absolutely not in the game, Manchester reduced the score just before the break on a but against his camp by Jacob Ramsey (2-1, 45th), but Ramsey redeemed himself as soon as he returned from the locker room by restoring the gap of two but (3-1, 49th).
We can’t stop Newcastle, author of its fourth consecutive victory at Southampton (4-1) and which can begin to dream of Europe. With 27 points, the Mapgies pass three classes, the provisional Tottenham which receives Liverpool later (5:30 p.m.), if Southampton bases in the red zone, 17th with 12 points.
Crystal Palace got impressive 2-1 at West Ham.
