Liverpool FC have suffered a setback in the fight for the championship in the Premier League. Coach Jürgen Klopp’s team did not get more than 1-1 (0-0) in the home game against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Luiz Díaz saved the runners-up a point with his goal in the 74th minute. Heung-Min Son (56th) had put the “Spurs” in the lead.
“It wasn’t exactly what we wanted. We have to deal with it and we will,” said Klopp after the game. The draw means that Champions League finalists Liverpool have taken the lead in the table for the time being, but they can be edged out again by Manchester City with a point win against Newcastle United on Sunday (5:30 p.m.). “I can’t imagine it,” said Klopp when asked about the possible point losses of the “Citizens” in the last league games. Having won the League Cup and reached the FA Cup final, Liverpool are still in contention for a historic chance to win four titles.

Meanwhile, Manchester United suffered a bitter bankruptcy. The team of interim coach Ralf Rangnick lost 0:4 (0:1) at Brighton & Hove Albion and has to worry about a place in the European Cup in the remaining game days. Meanwhile, the Champions League is definitely out of reach for the “Red Devils” as Arsenal, who are in fourth place, are too far away. “It was a humiliating defeat today. Even more for Manchester United. It was the second highest loss of my career. It wasn’t just that we lost 4-0, it was the way we played. That was unacceptable,” said Rangnick, who actually lost three games by a higher goal difference. 1997 and 1999 with SSV Ulm and 2005 with Schalke 04.
At the end of his coaching career, former Swiss national coach Roy Hodgson was relegated from the Premier League with Watford FC. The team lost 0-1 (0-1) at Crystal Palace and is the second relegated team after Norwich City.
