Liverpool are within touching distance of the Premier League title after Virgil van Dijk sealed a dramatic 2-1 win against West Ham, while Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou suffered misery in a 4-2 loss at Wolves yesterday.
Luis Diaz’s second-half strike at Anfield was cancelled out by Andrew Robertson’s late own goal, but Van Dijk headed Liverpool’s winner in the closing moments.
Arne Slot’s side are 13 points clear of second-placed Arsenal with just six games left.
They will be crowned champions if Arsenal lose at Ipswich and the Reds win at Leicester, with both games taking place on April 20.
Even if Liverpool don’t seal the title then, it is only a matter of time before they clinch a record-equalling 20th English crown.
After losing for only the second time in the league this season last weekend when Fulham beat them 3-2 at Craven Cottage, Liverpool got back on track in thrilling fashion.
In the 18th minute, Mohamed Salah sprinted away on the halfway line, accelerating towards the West Ham area and caressing a perfectly weighted pass to Diaz, who had the simple task of slotting home from six yards.
- Manchester United slipped to their 14th Premier League defeat of the season at Newcastle United yesterday, with the hosts’ rampant 4-1 success taking them up to fourth in the standings.

- Relegation-threatened Ipswich Town held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, denying the hosts the chance to inject fresh momentum into their bid for a place in next season’s Champions League. – SuperSport
