Newcastle 1-0 Huddersfield: Magpies land win thanks to Perez strike

https://ift.tt/2pXwcH8

Ayoze Perez fired Newcastle to the brink of Premier League safety as his fifth goal of the season arrived in the nick of time against Huddersfield.

The Spaniard slid home Kenedy's 80th-minute cross to finally break the deadlock on a tense afternoon at St James' Park, much to the relief of the bulk of a crowd of 52,261.

Victory eased the Magpies seven points clear of the drop zone but left the visitors in serious peril.

Star Man

Mo Diame has really come to the fore in recent matches. He’s improved across the season and put in a superb performance against the Terriers as he dominated the midfield. Central midfield partner Jonjo Shelvey also deserves an honourable mention.

Moment of the Match

It could have been the the could have been down to ten men after 50 minutes with the game still level at 0-0 following a dreadful challenge from Kenedy on Elias Kachunga. The challenge eventually resulted in the Huddersfield star, only just returning from a long-term absence, being substituted.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
