Liverpool took a small step closer to the league title by going to win at Bournemouth (2-0) on Saturday, while Chelsea lost again to Everton (3-1) for the 16th day of the Premier League.

. Liverpool says 33:

And 33! The series of undefeated games in the league continues to swell for the Reds, who have resumed their distance with Manchester City who plays the derby against United in the evening and Leicester who plays Sunday.

After the 5-2 against Everton on Wednesday, where Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were left idle, Jürgen Klopp continued his beaded rotation with Sadio Mané and Trent Alexander-Arnold on the bench, while Georginio Wijnaldum stayed home .

The usual substitutes took the opportunity to show with the opening score by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (35th) and a second goal just before the break by Naby Keita, on a heel of Salah (44th).

The Egyptian was also there from its realization at the beginning of the second act (3-0, 54th) to ensure a quiet end of meeting before the match-cleaver in Salzburg Tuesday in the Champions League.

. Chelsea relapse to Everton:

The announcement Friday that Chelsea will finally be able to participate in the winter transfer window, after the reduction of the penalty imposed by Fifa for violation of the regulations on international transfers of minors, could not be better.

With this third setback in four days, the Blues seem breathless in December still very busy.

Against Everton, revived by the departure of Portuguese coach Marco Silva, replaced for the moment by a former home, the Scottish Duncan Ferguson, the Londoners seemed out of juice and ideas.

The Toffees, relegated to kickoff, struck at the start of each period by Richarlison (1-0, 5th) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (2-0, 49th), then enjoyed a gift from Chelsea's defense six minutes from time to finally kill any suspense by Calvert-Lewin again (3-1, 84th).

Midfielder Mateo Kovacic had scored a very good goal to reduce the score to 2-1 (52), but Chelsea, who will also play his place in the last 16 of the Champions League in Lille on Tuesday, will have to clench his teeth. three weeks before hoping to bring new blood.

. The Spurs spur Burnley:

It is sometimes necessary to double check the name of the new coach of Tottenham so much the offensive game developed by the Londoners since his arrival is at the antipodes of what one thought to know of Jose Mourinho.

Against Burnley, who was already coming out of a Manchester City-managed 4-1 home improvement, the case was quickly bent.

Harry Kane opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a 22-meter shot, before Lucas pushed the ball to the bottom, this time one meter from the line, five minutes later to double the stake.

Son Heung-Min then crossed the field to deceive the goalkeeper when the half-hour was barely 3-0, 32nd).

Kane was then given a double and Moussa Sissoko went from there also, to bring the score to 5-0 (74th).

Best of all, Tottenham did not concede a goal for the first time under Mourinho, which will probably make him almost as happy as having scored 5 goals.
