EPL Matchday 32 of 38: A weekend round-up

Everton 2, Tottenham Hotspur 2 – Friday, 16 April 2021

Everton and Tottenham Hotspur played out an exciting draw with Gylfi Sigurdsson and Harry Kane scoring a brace each in a very open contest.

The match had in fact got off to a sluggish start till the time the visitors to Goodison Park got their opener in the 27th minute from an Everton error. A misdirected headed clearance from defender Michael Keane fell kindly to Kane who volley ruthlessly past Pickford to land his first of the night.

The second half was a frenetic affair as Everton took the lead in the 62nd minute when Sigurdsson finished from a Seamus Coleman cutback.

Ancelotti's side gifted Kane his second goal in the 68th minute when a defensive mix-up between Keane and Mason Holgate saw the ball ricocheting into the path of the English striker who powered an unstoppable volley into the top corner.

Everton came close to wrapping up the match when substitute Josh King was thwarted by Spurs custodian Hugo Lloris and Richarlison blazed his effort over a little later.

Tottenham after Friday night's Goodison Park draw are on 50 points and Everton a notch below on 49 points in the 8th place.

Newcastle stun West Ham; Hammers Top four spot in peril

Newcastle 3, West ham United 2 – Saturday, 17 April 2021

David Moyes' Champions League aspiration were dealt a heavy blow when his side were beaten 3-2 by Newcastle who moved another step away from relegation at St. James Park of Saturday afternoon.

The Hammers were handed another blow in the same minute when Craig Dawson, who had earlier been booked for a foul on Joelinton, brought down the Newcastle striker again in the build-up to the first goal and was promptly shown the red card.

Things went from bad to worse for the visitors when Lukasz Fabianski spilled Matt Ritchie's corner to hand Joelinton a close-range tap-in on a platter in the 41st minute.

West Ham were on their way to pulling off one more of their customary fightbacks when a VAR check awarded an 80th-minute penalty for a handball by Magpie central defender Ciaran Clark. Jesse Lingard, star of West Ham's phenomenal revival, stepped up to take the spot kick which he coolly converted for his ninth goal of the season.

The Magpies came very close to nosing ahead when Jacob Murphy's stunning effort was cleared spectacularly off the line by right-back Ben Johnson.
