Sterling scores as Chelsea hold Manchester City to a draw at Etihad.
Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer were two of Chelsea’s best performers on their return to the Etihad in crucial PL clash. Sterling finished off Jackson’s beautiful pass to give Chelsea a much deserved lead before the half. Mauricio Pochettino’s men looked set to upset Manchester City’s title hopes but was clutch again, rebounding Walker’s shot in the box to salvage a 1-1 draw for Manchester City in the 83rd minute. They have now drawn both of their Premier League meetings this season, with Manchester City now two and four points behind Arsenal and Liverpool respectively.
Rasmus Højlund makes premier league history with brace versus Luton.
Manchester United’s striker, Rasmus Højlund has started 2024 with a bang, scoring in every game he has played this year. After a 14-game streak without a PL goal, his redemption arc against Aston Villa in late December seems to have carried on, as he has now scored in 6 consecutive PL games. In the clash against Luton at the Kenilworth Road, Højlund scored a brace in the opening ten minutes of the game to give United a much needed 2-1 win. He is now the youngest player to score in six consecutive PL games. Manchester United are presently five points off the top four and will be looking to cut the margin as they face Fulham next weekend.
