Ligue 1: Embolo scores in Monaco win
Breel Embolo leads Monaco to a 4-1 win over bottom club Clermont. This means that the Monegasques are close to qualifying for the Champions League. Embolo scored in the 37th minute after a nice combination to make it 2-1 for the home team, after the guests had equalized four minutes earlier. Shortly before his substitution in the 65th minute, the Swiss international striker even scored a second time with his head. However, since he was previously offside, the goal did not count. For Embolo, who had to take a break for around 8 months due to a torn cruciate ligament, it was the starting eleven comeback after 3 appearances.
For Yvon Mvogo, however, Saturday did not have any good news to offer: Because Le Havre won against Strasbourg 3-1, the air is getting thinner and thinner for the Swiss national goalie and Lorient in the relegation battle.
Premier League: Arsenal and Man City in lockstep
League leaders Arsenal celebrated a confident 3-0 win at home against Bournemouth in the 36th round of the Premier League and announced their ambitions to fight for the championship. Bukayo Saka with a penalty (45th), Leandro Trossard (70th) and Declan Rice (97th) scored the goals against the 10th in the Premier League. Manchester City, which is one point behind the “Gunners” with one game less, also did not show any weakness. With a four-pack, Erling Haaland led the “Skyblues” to an unchallenged 5-1 win over Wolverhampton. Manuel Akanji played through the Man City defense.
At the other end of the table, Burnley is facing direct relegation. The northern English team, for whom Zeki Amdouni came on as a substitute 5 minutes before the end, suffered their 22nd defeat of the season in a 4-1 defeat at home against Newcastle United (without the injured Fabian Schär).
