In the end, the score of the game was four to one. In the second half, Cancelo used a direct free kick to add icing on the cake. Southampton won five consecutive victories in the league. In this round, except for Southampton, the strong teams They can be said to have fallen into the sand one after another...

Manchester United stopped their winning streak, they drew [-]-[-] with Burnley, Chelsea lost [-]-[-] to Bournemouth in the away game, Tottenham lost to Watford, only Arsenal Na's performance was not bad. They defeated Cardiff City [-]-[-] and did not allow themselves to continue their losing streak.

The top two, Manchester City and Liverpool, suffered a big loss at the same time.

Liverpool was unexpectedly tied [-]-[-] by Leicester City at home. This was a good opportunity for Manchester City to continue to narrow their disadvantages. However, Manchester City lost their fourth league game of the season. They were defeated by Newcastle, who were fighting for relegation. With a two-to-one defeat at home, Liverpool expanded their lead and led Manchester City by five points...

Of course, the biggest winner of this round is of course Southampton.

They are on 52 points, four behind Manchester City and nine behind Liverpool.

From being [-] points behind Liverpool at the highest, to now being [-] points behind, when Southampton started to grab points frantically, their results were simply bursting!

The Southampton fans started a wave of small celebrations. They were actually not getting carried away, they just wanted to put pressure on their opponents in this way...

After winning this game, Southampton's No.3 position was once again consolidated, but the next four teams began to get entangled - Tottenham 48 points, Chelsea 47 points, Arsenal won this round After that, they also scored 47 points, and Manchester United scored 45 points. It seems that these four teams will start to compete frantically for the last place in the Champions League in the remaining [-] rounds of the league.

In this regard, Ji Ya said that the more this is the better, after all, they are holding each other back, and Southampton can develop steadily in the third position, and see when they can catch up with the top two.

"Keep our form and don't care too much about other teams. Manchester City and Liverpool have had some ups and downs recently, but they will definitely adjust right away. We can't expect them to give us too many opportunities in the future, so play well. My own game is the best." Ji Ya said this to the players in the team.

The players nodded one after another. They all knew this. Although they were only nine points behind Liverpool, there were still two teams to catch up. There will be a Champions League game to distract you, and there will be strong teams to deal with, so the next time will be more difficult.

After all, during this period of time, the opponents are all mid-lower teams, and it is easier for Southampton to win.

Three days later, the No.20 five rounds of the league also started again. During this period, the Premier League schedule was relatively dense, mainly because Southampton had a make-up match to play, and they did not have the task of the League Cup. Otherwise, Their games will be more intensive.

This is why the Premier League has a triple crown, but not a quadruple. There are too many games for the quadruple.

This round of Southampton is an away game against Burnley. This relegation team drew [-]-[-] with Manchester United in the last round of the away game, which ended Solskjaer's eight-game winning streak in all competitions after he took office. It is a relegation team, and Ji Ya will not pay special attention to them.

In this game, Ji Ya continued to adopt the rotation tactics. During this period of time, the rotation was to allow the main players to take turns to rest. After all, they had done enough in the first half of the season.

After the start of the Champions Cup, there is basically no room for rotation, so under such circumstances, it is the best time for the substitutes to exercise and the main players to rest.

Burnley does not have any outstanding players. Their players are basically capable. They rely on the overall and fighting to grab points in the league, so they have been able to avoid relegation in these years. However, playing against such a team, Southampton is even more have experience.

The opponent is generally good, there are no particularly outstanding players, and it is enough to gradually suppress them. Instead, there is no need to worry that some players with outstanding personal abilities will do something to them.

For example, Zaha in the last round was actually capable of making something happen. Although Southampton won in the end, if they were unlucky or in a bad state and couldn't attack repeatedly, they might be blown out by the opponent. An upset.

So in this game, Southampton controlled the midfielder, while constantly looking for opportunities to gradually tear apart the opponent's defense.

Although this steady tactic was not perfect because the main players were only halfway up, it was still enough to suppress Burnley.

Sancho, who started this round, performed well. His breakthrough with the ball on the wing became the source of Southampton's offense. In the game, he sent out beautiful assists after two breakthroughs. scored.

Southampton defeated their opponent [-]-[-] without bloodshed, and also won six consecutive victories - completing the task assigned by Ji Ya one round ahead of schedule!

"I can't be more satisfied... After all, in these six rounds, they have shown impeccable performance! The next Champions League game is about to start, I think we can focus more on the championship into the cup."

Ji Ya said at the press conference after the game, but most of the people scoffed, and Ji Ya's words were really unbelievable.

And in this round of the league, although Manchester City quickly recovered, they beat Arsenal [-]-[-] at home, but Liverpool began to have some ups and downs in this round, they drew [-]-[-] with West Ham United, In this way, the gap between Southampton and Liverpool was reduced to seven points.

And the gap between Manchester City and Liverpool began to shrink from the highest seven points to the current three points, which is only one game away!

Liverpool have only lost one game in 25 league rounds so far, that is, they lost to Manchester City and tied five games. The result is only three points ahead of Manchester City, which is indeed surprising.

Manchester City lost three games more than them, but also drew three games less, and won nineteen games.

This kind of competition and confrontation can be said to be unprecedented in the Premier League. The fiercest competition before was nothing more than the competition between Southampton and Chelsea. In that season, Southampton finally scored 94 points, Chelsea 93 points, and now Liverpool and Manchester City have Scoring 62 points and 59 points, following this trend, they may have more points than Southampton and Chelsea that season!

The competition for this season has become more and more intense.
