Here is what happened in Saturday\u2019s fixtures:<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/man-utd-vs-liverpool\/373392\"><strong>United win the big north west derby<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/marcus-rashford-celebrates-second-goal-against-liverpool-mar10th2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"250\" \/>Manchester United and Liverpool went into Saturday\u2019s north west derby both looking to get the edge in securing second place in the Premier League this season. The home side came out on top, though, recording a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>The game started at the good pace and United took the lead on 14 minutes. Marcus Rashford picked-up the ball on the far side of the area, produced a sublime touch to take out full-back Alexander Trent-Arnold and curled a superb effort past Loris Karius in the visitor&#8217;s goal.<\/p>\n<p>The youngster also grabbed the Red Devils second goal on 24 minutes. Romelu Lukaku was too strong for Dejan Lovren and laid the ball off to Juan Mata in the area. Virgil van Dijk blocked the Spaniard\u2019s effort on goal, only for the ball to run to Rashford whose shot took a deflection before making its way into the far corner of Karius\u2019 net.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool produced a far better performance in the second half and had United on the back foot for much of the second period. The Reds did finally breakthrough the United rare guard on 66 minutes. Winger Sadio Mane produced a dangerous cross into the area and United defender Eric Bailly got his clearance all wrong shanking the ball past David de Gea at his near post.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors also saw two penalty appeals waved away in the second period. However, United hung on for a potential big win in the fight for Champions League place. <strong>Jose Mourinho\u2019s side are now five points clear of second place Liverpool<\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\">the favourites after league leaders Manchester City to claim a top-four spot<\/a><\/strong>. The visitors are four points clear of fifth-place Chelsea and fourth-place Tottenham could leapfrog them in the table with a win over Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2018\/mar\/10\/newcastle-southampton-premier-league-match-report\"><strong>Magpies claim a massive win over the Saints<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Newcastle and Southampton both start this game in the relegation fight. However, the home side lifted their relegation worries slightly with a convincing 3-0 win at St James Park.<\/p>\n<p>The Magpies enjoyed a dream start to the game, taking the lead after just two minutes. Chelsea-loanee Kenedy chested down a pass from Jonjo Shelvey before finishing past Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy with a side-footed effort.<\/p>\n<p>The Magpies doubled their lead just before the hour mark with a good counter-attacking goal. Ayoze Perez found Dwight Gayle and the striker found Kenedy at the far post for a tap-in.<\/p>\n<p>Rafa Benitez\u2019s side made it three on 57 minutes. Shelvey laid the ball off to winger Matt Ritchie and the Scotland international fired home into the bottom corner of McCarthy\u2019s goal. The visitors did finally threaten the home goal in the second half, but Newcastle \u2018keeper Martin Dubravka was equal to efforts from Guido Carrillo and Josh Sims.<\/p>\n<p>The win moves the side from the north east up to 13<sup>th<\/sup> place in the table, six points clear of the relegation zone. <strong>The visitors meanwhile are just a point clear of the drop zone<\/strong>. Mauricio Pellegrino\u2019s side could drop into the bottom three if Stoke pulls off a shock win over Manchester City on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday\u2019s other Premier League results:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everton 2-0 Brighton<\/p>\n<p>Huddersfield 0-0 Swansea<\/p>\n<p>West Brom 1-4 Leicester<\/p>\n<p>West Ham 0-3 Burnley<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who recorded the biggest win of gameweek 30 in the Premier League?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As expected Saturday\u2019s gameweek 30 fixtures produced some great entertainment and big results at both ends of the table.

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/Nuge1983\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.legitgambling.com\\\/news\\\/author\\\/david-nugent\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Premier League gameweek 30 review part one -","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/premier-league-gameweek-30-review-part-one\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Premier League gameweek 30 review part one -","og_description":"As expected Saturday\u2019s gameweek 30 fixtures produced some great entertainment and big results at both ends of the table.

Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/Nuge1983"],"url":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/author\/david-nugent\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5560\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
