LONDON, April 14-- Two goals in just four minutes saw Liverpool remain top of the Premier League at the end of another dramatic weekend in England. Knowing they needed a win in order to stay top of the table, Liverpool were 0-0 at home to Chelsea at the end of the first half of their game at Anfield. Sadio Mane broke the deadlock in a tense game six minutes into the second half with a far-post header, before Mohamed Salah brought the Liverpool fans to their feet with a stunning left-foot shot just four minutes later. The win keeps Liverpool ahead of Manchester City who had won 3-1 away to Crystal Palace with an efficient performance in a game which finished minutes before their match kicked off. Two goals from Raheem Sterling in the 15th and 63rd minute and one from Gabriel Jesus in injury time gave City three points against a side that had beaten them in the Ethiad Stadium earlier in the season. Tottenham made changes ahead of their Champions League visit to the Ethiad Stadium next week, but Mauricio Pochettino's side had few problems in handing out a 4-0 beating to already relegated Huddersfield. Lucas Moura netted a hat-trick as his side also took an important step to securing a top-four finish for next season as they returned to third in the table. Manchester United are also in the battle for the top four, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side made hard work of West Ham, needing two penalties from Paul Pogba to give them a 2-1 win at Old Trafford. |
