Manchester United continued their negative results by falling to their host Wolverhampton, while Manchester City stumbled again against their guest Everton, and Fulham snatched three valuable points from their host Chelsea, today, Thursday, in the eighteenth round of the English Premier League.

Wolverhampton beat its guest Manchester United 2-0, which is the second consecutive defeat for the "Red Devils" team after a heavy loss against Bournemouth 3-0 in the last stage.

It is also United's eighth loss in the Premier League this season, compared to six wins and four draws, leaving them in fourteenth place with 22 points.

In contrast, Wolverhampton, who are struggling to avoid relegation, raised their score to 15 points in seventeenth place.

Brazilian Matheus Cunha (58) and South Korean Hwang Hee-chan (90+9) scored the winning team's goals.

Manchester City stumbles again

Manchester City failed to end their negative run of results after drawing 1-1 with visiting Everton.

Manchester City entered the game hoping to end a run of four games without a win in all competitions but were met with a remarkable performance from Everton goalkeeper Pickford.

Portuguese Bernardo Silva gave the home team the advantage (14) before Senegalese Ndaye equalised for Everton (36).

Manchester City had a chance to take the lead again, but their Norwegian star Haaland failed to convert a penalty kick that Pickford excelled in saving (53).

Manchester City's score became 28 points in sixth place temporarily, while Everton remained in fifteenth place temporarily with 17 points.
