LONDON, March 17: Liverpool hasn’t been this close to Manchester City in three months. The gap is down to one point in a Premier League title race that looks set to go down to the wire after Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Arsenal on Wednesday.
That’s nine straight league wins for Liverpool, which has a momentum that City can’t quite match with nine games left of the season.
Diogo Jota was about to be substituted when he was set free down the left by a brilliantly threaded pass by Thiago Alcantara and found the bottom corner with a precise shot in the 54th minute.
It didn’t save Jota from being immediately taken off and his replacement, Roberto Firmino, diverted in a deftly taken second goal in the 62nd to further puncture the optimism inside Emirates Stadium.
Liverpool plays its next game – at home to lowly Watford – before City is next in action in the league. The loss was a setback to fourth-place Arsenal’s hopes of securing the final Champions League qualification place.
Brighton vs Tottenham
Harry Kane has rediscovered his best scoring form and it’s keeping Tottenham in the hunt for a return to the Champions League.
It’s seven goals in six games for the England striker after scoring the 57th-minute second goal in Tottenham’s 2-0 win at Brighton that lifted his team into seventh place and within three points of Arsenal.
