Two horse race! City and Liverpool win as Chelsea condemn Spurs to another loss

Liverpool yesterday thrashed Watford five nil to remain on top of the league table and a point ahead of rivals of Manchester City.

Two first half goals from Sadio Mane put the Reds on the driving seat with Divock Origi and Virgil van Dijk added three more goals after the break.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero’s penalty was enough to give City a one nil win over West Ham. Manchester United bounced back to winning ways with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace with Romelu Lukaku getting a brace.

Arsenal were in sensational form as they thrashed Bournemouth 5-1 courtesy of goals from Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Laurent Koscielny and Alex Lacazette.

Across London, Chelsea put behind their Carabao Cup final woes as they dimmed Tottenham’s title hopes with a two nil win at the Stamford Bridge.

The defeat to Spurs now means that the title race is now between two horses; Liverpool and Manchester City.

It has taken until the end of February and a week before Shrove Tuesday, but finally the race for the 2018-19 Premier League title is a two-horse affair.

After 180 goalless minutes against Bayern Munich and Manchester United, Liverpool surged back to their attacking best with five goals against Watford.

Battered and bruised from 120 gruelling minutes in the Carabao Cup final, Manchester City escaped from the visit of West Ham with three points thanks to a Sergio Aguero penalty.
