Norwich defender Sebastian Bassong looked to have salvaged a point with a stoppage-time header before Adam Lallana decided the outcome of a roller-coaster game with Liverpool’s victor to move Juergen Klopp’s inconsistent side up to seventh.
“The race is very tight because Leicester City and Manchester City will be fighting as well”.
I expect Leicester to draw, something is telling me that Chelsea are going to be really up for this game, with club legend Frank Lampard calling on their players to stand up and be counted, and I would not be surprised to see them take a win away this weekend.
Tottenham got back to winning ways in the Premier League by thrashing Sunderland a week ago, and they followed that up with an FA Cup replay win at Leicester City in midweek.
Spurs have come from 1-nil down to beat Crystal Palace 3-1, with teenager Dele Alli scoring an astonishing goal.
“It was a fantastic goal”, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, whose side have 42 points, said.
Saints’ Charlie Austin scored in the 87th-minute on his debut, prompting more loud boos aimed at under-pressure United manager Louis van Gaal from the home fans at the final whistle.
“Once again, Sky Sports have gone above and beyond in their efforts to put out matchgoing fans”, Union FS said.
The reds first scored first through Roberto Firmino before Norwich went 3 – 1 up, Liverpool then scored three to go 4 – 3 up. “They are disappointed and have a right to boo”. “It could even be that goal difference makes the difference”.
Manchester City’s league away form continues to be a worry.
Only Sergio Aguero (36) and Daryl Murphy (35) have more league goals in the top four tiers since the start of the 2014/15 season than Benik Afobe (34) *before the late PL game today.
