Chelsea kini hanya tertinggal tiga poin dari zona Liga Champions setelah meraih kemenangan telak 4-1 atas Aston Villa pada Rabu malam, berkat hattrick sensasional dari Joao Pedro. Meskipun tertinggal lebih dulu di Villa Park, The Blues menunjukkan ketangguhan luar biasa untuk mengalahkan rival mereka di empat besar dan membuat manajer Liam Rosenior sangat puas dengan penampilan timnya.
Legenda Manchester United, Paul Scholes, memicu kemarahan di media sosial setelah tampaknya menghapus sebuah cerita Instagram yang berisi sindiran terhadap manajer interim Michael Carrick. Setelah kekalahan 2-1 dari Newcastle United yang bermain dengan 10 pemain, mantan gelandang tersebut secara terbuka menyerang kredibilitas kepelatihan mantan rekan setimnya, meskipun Manchester United baru saja naik ke peringkat ketiga di Premier League.
Genggaman Manchester City atas persaingan gelar Premier League semakin melemah pada Rabu malam setelah mereka ditahan imbang 2-2 oleh Nottingham Forest. Meskipun sempat memimpin dua kali melalui gol Antoine Semenyo dan Rodri, tim asuhan Pep Guardiola berhasil disamakan kedudukannya oleh gol-gol spektakuler dari Morgan Gibbs-White dan Elliot Anderson.
Rekor tak terkalahkan Michael Carrick sebagai manajer Manchester United berakhir dalam suasana frustrasi yang memuncak di St. James' Park. Setelah gol penentu di menit ke-90 oleh Will Osula, manajer United terlihat sengaja mengabaikan para pemainnya di lapangan, memilih untuk menyapa para pendukung yang datang sebelum pergi sendirian melalui terowongan.
Newcastle United menyuguhkan malam penuh drama Liga Premier di St. James' Park saat tim Magpies yang bermain dengan 10 pemain mengejutkan Manchester United dalam kemenangan 2-1. Meskipun pertandingan ini diwarnai dengan kartu merah dan twist di menit-menit akhir, kehebatan individu William Osula lah yang mencuri perhatian, mengakhiri rekor tak terkalahkan Michael Carrick sebagai manajer Red Devils dengan cara yang spektakuler.
Manchester United telah menjadi sasaran ejekan pedas dari para pendukung Newcastle yang jeli, setelah para penggemar menemukan postingan media sosial berusia 12 tahun yang menunjukkan William Osula berada di Old Trafford dan berbaur dengan legenda-legenda Manchester United. United tampaknya melewatkan kesempatan untuk merekrut penyerang Denmark tersebut sebagai prospek akademi, dan kini melihatnya kembali menghantui mereka sebagai bintang Premier League senior.
