A key match in the 36th round of the English Premier League ended not long ago, with Liverpool beating visiting Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 to end a two-game winless run and remain third in the table. Tottenham, on the other hand, unfortunately suffered four consecutive league defeats, and if they want to be in the top four, they may only hope for a miracle!
With only two rounds of the league remaining, this season's Premier League, the battle for the title, relegation and the battle for the top four is very clear, with Arsenal and Manchester City coming out of 20 teams and will fight for the ultimate trophy. Luton Town and Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, will fight against each other in order to stay in the Premier League. As for the competition for Champions League qualification, the two teams that have been biting are Tottenham Hotspur and the big dark horse Villa.
In this round of the league, Villa unexpectedly lost 0-1 away to Brighton, which also gave Tottenham a great opportunity to chase down the points. However, Tottenham's opponent in this round is not easy to deal with, although it is hopeless to compete for the championship, but Liverpool, who is playing at home, definitely does not want to suffer defeat at home, so as soon as the game comes up, Tottenham Hotspur is in a bitter battle. Just 16 minutes into the game, Salah headed home from Gakpo's cross to give Liverpool the lead in breaking the deadlock and taking a 1-0 lead. Before half-time, Robertson scored in front of the goal to extend the score to 2-0!
In the 50th minute, Elliott assisted Gakpo to score, and the difference was further widened. Nine minutes later, Elliott, who had just given the assist, played a wonderful kick outside the penalty area, and the ball hung straight into the corner of the goal into the net, 4-0! Liverpool completely killed the suspense of the game! At this time, Tottenham seemed to have just woken up, they scored two goals in six minutes, narrowing the score to 2-4! However, due to the lack of time left in the game, Tottenham did not stage a good comeback, and they finally lost to Liverpool 2-4, embarrassingly suffering four consecutive defeats in the league!
This defeat almost shattered Tottenham's hopes of fighting for the fourth. Although Tottenham Hotspur has one less game than Villa, the difference between them and their opponents has been as many as 7 points, even if they win all three games in the last three games, then Villa only need to win one more game, Tottenham Hotspur can still only watch the opponent get the last Champions League ticket. What's more, in the last three games, Tottenham Hotspur will also play against defending champions Manchester City, so Tottenham fans who want to see their home team enter the Champions League may only hope for a miracle!
The big dark horse Villa team will return to the Champions League after 42 years. Spanish coach Unai Emery once again led the team to rewrite history!
