• Manchester United failed to hold on to a late Mason Mount goal against Brentford
• Chelsea could not capitalize on a man advantage over relegation-threatened Burley
• Newcastle beat West Ham 4-3 in a thrilling Premier League classic at St James' Park

Manchester United and Chelsea stumbled in the latest round of English Premier League action, suffering frustrating draws to Brentford and Burnley.

The Red Devils, once considered a Champions League club, suffered a setback in their pursuit of the coveted top 4 spots after being held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford on Saturday, March 30.

Despite Mason Mount's late goal, United could not keep Brentford from scoring an equalizer in injury time, leaving much to be desired from their performance at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Head coach Erik ten Hag expressed disappointment, acknowledging that his team was fortunate to escape with a point.

"If you are winning then you shouldn't give it away. Normally we are a strong side in such situations, we have to bring it over the line, and that is disappointing. We should have acted differently on the occasion when we conceded the equaliser. It was absolutely unnecessary, as reported by the BBC.

Ten Hag's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League now hinge on the teams above him to drop points, as Man United are 11 points off the top 4 with a staggering goal difference of zero.

Chelsea fail to beat 10-man Burnley

Meanwhile, Chelsea failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage against Burnley, settling for a frustrating 2-2 draw. Coach Mauricio Pochettino voiced his frustration, citing defensive lapses and a lack of energy contributing to the disappointing result.

"So disappointed. We didn't show the consistency and the capacity to deal with and manage the game. We allowed them some actions from set pieces to get some possibility to believe. It is a result that shows that we need to improve in many areas if we want to be competitive," the Argentine told press, as reported by Goal.
