Manchester United, with a double by Alejandro Garnacho, turned it around this Tuesday at Old Trafford against Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez’s Aston Villa and beat them 3-2, in the most electrifying Premier League match of the day of Boxing Day.
The Scotsman John McGinn and the Belgian Leander Dendoncker put the visitor ahead, who with the partial victory climbed to the top; Already at the beginning of the complement, Garnacho had a goal disallowed due to a finite offside, although he later retaliated and scored two goals against “Dibu” (his teammate in the Argentine National Team), who nine minutes from the end was subdued by the Norwegian Rasmus Höjlund for United’s final triumph.
Also on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas – very traditional for English football because it refers to feudal times, when the nobles gave boxes of food to their workers – defender Gonzalo Montiel started in the 3-1 success of Nottingham Forest against Newcastle, as a visitor.
The right back, world champion in Qatar 2022, played from the start after three months and was replaced in the second half, as he had a yellow card.
Midfielder Nicolás Domínguez, for his part, was on the substitute bench for Forest, which returned to victory after seven games.
The former River Plate player had not started in the Premier League since September 23 when he participated in the 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.
His last official minutes, meanwhile, had been on October 17 with the Argentine national team in the match against Peru for the South American Qualifiers, when he left in the first half due to a torn calf.
Nottingham Forest turned it around with a hat trick from New Zealander Chris Wood and ended Newcastle’s unbeaten run at the St. James’ Park stadium.
The local team had taken the lead through Alexander Isak’s penalty. The Magpies had an ideal score after five home games and had only conceded one goal.
For its part, Liverpool had no problems beating Burnley 2-0 away with goals from Uruguayan Darwin Núñez and Portuguese Diogo Jota. The victory left German Jürgen Klopp’s team at the top of the table.
Likewise, Marcos Senesi’s Bournemouth beat Fulham 3-0 with goals from the Dutch Justin Kluivert, Dominic Solanke from a penalty and the Colombian Luis Sinisterra.
In turn, in another duel with many spices, Sheffield United turned it around and beat Luton Town 3-2 with goals from Alfie Doughty, Jack Robinson against and the Turkish Anis Ben Slimane, also against their goal; Scotsman Oliver McBurnie and Swede Anel Ahmedhodzic were discounted.
This Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. it will be the turn of Brentford-Wolverhampton (Star+) and Chelsea-Crystal Palace (Star+), while at 5:00 p.m. (ESPN and Star+) Everton-Manchester City will play.
Matchday 19 of the Premier League will close next Thursday with Brighton-Tottenham and Arsenal-West Ham.
