How Things Went In The Premier League Where Once Again Manchester City And Liverpool Traded Places For A Few Hours And None Of The Teams In The Race For 3rd and 4th Won! Highlights. Player Ratings. Reports. Comments, And Stats.
By: Marc Gingell
It all started at Anfield on Friday where Liverpool crushed Huddersfield 5-0. But, as usual, they played and then prayed that Manchester City slipped up!
On Saturday Cardiff edged closer to the relegation trap door when they lost 1-0 to Fulham who are on a roll since the confirmation of their relegation. Southampton gained a point to confirm their safety for another season. At Vicarage Road Wolves beat Watford to ease the pain of their FA Cup Semi-Final exit and are clear in 7th.
Sunday saw four of the big boys in action with Arsenal continuing their away day blues at Leicester. Manchester United drew 1-1 with Chelsea which means United’s chances of a top-four finish look pretty bleak.
At Turf Moor City won the war thanks to Sergio Agüero. Liverpool’s prayers went unanswered again.
The most exciting race in Premier League history continues with City in pole position
