The English Premier League season 2022/23 continued matchday 12 on this Tuesday to Thursday night, challenging all the clubs with a tight schedule.

In the focused match, Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspurs 2-0 at Old Trafford Stadium, to get their third win in the last five league matches.

Both goals from the Red Devils were made in the second half, by Brazilian Fred and team captain Bruno Fernandes.

After the victory, Man United are in fifth place with 19 points, one point behind Chelsea, while one point more than Newcastle but one game less.

The Spurs hold the third place after the loss, three points more than Chelsea but one more game played.

Kepa Performs Top Saves Again

Chelsea could only collect one point after a 0-0 draw against Brentford in the away game, ending their form of four consecutive wins in Premier League.

The Blue Lions’ goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga again showed an outstanding performance, by making at least five significant saves in this match, including two blocks on the headers by Brentford’s striker Ivan Toney in close distance.

Under the well guarded by the Spanish keeper, the London club had kept clean sheets for five consecutive games for both EPL and Champions League.

Kepa who joined the Lions in 2018 with transfer fees of 80 millions Euro, breaking the record as world most expensive goalkeeper, is now gaining the faith of their manager Graham Potter, after his remarkable performance and stable condition in recent matches.
