Manchester City won 1-0 away to Leeds in the 28th round of the English Premier League, increasing the pressure on league leader Arsenal. The only goal of the game came in the 47th minute of the first half, scored by Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo. The match started evenly, although Manchester City players controlled the ball but couldn't break the deadlock. But when it seemed both teams would go into halftime scoreless, Semenyo scored, finishing from close range after a great run from Algerian defender Rayan Ait Nouri. With this victory, Manchester City achieved its fourth consecutive win in the Premier League, bringing their total to 59 points and keeping them in pursuit of leader Arsenal, who have just two more points. Leeds, for its part, remains 15th with 31 points and cannot afford to be complacent, as they are very close to the relegation zone, where West Ham, Burnley, and Wolverhampton are. In another match on Saturday, Liverpool thrashed West Ham 5-2, in which Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister shone with a goal at the end of the first half. The other goals for his team were scored by Frenchman Hugo Ekitike, Dutchmen Virgil Van Dijk and Cody Gakpo, and Frenchman Axel Disasi (own goal), while for West Ham, Czech Tomas Soucek and Argentine ValentÃn Castellanos scored. This victory allowed the 'Reds', who are having an irregular season, to reach 48 points and get very close to the Champions League qualification spots for the next season. Premier League action will continue this Sunday, with a highlight being the London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea, starting at 13:30 (Argentina time).
