Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool didn’t have much trouble in the catch-up game against Leeds United – on the contrary. The champion of 2020 scored almost as he wanted – and with his victory makes the championship race exciting again.
Liverpool FC, with team manager Jürgen Klopp, has won the Premier League for the sixth time in a row and further reduced the gap to Manchester City. The Reds deservedly won 6-0 (3-0) in a catch-up game against Leeds United on Wednesday and are only three points behind champions City (63) and Pep Guardiola.
Liverpool made things clear in the first half: Superstar Mohamed Salah converted two penalties (15th/35th), and former Schalke player Joel Matip scored his first goal of the season (30th) for the clearly superior hosts. In the second round, Africa Cup winner Sadio Mane (80th/90th + 1) and defender Virgil van Dijk (90th + 3) increased.
Four days after the last-minute win at ManCity (3-2), Tottenham Hotspur missed another important success in the fight for European Cup places. The Spurs lost 0-1 (0-0) at relegation candidate FC Burnley and are still three points behind West Ham United in fifth place with two games less.
