The English Premier League continued yesterday with matchday 25 games, and the results had a big impact on the league table. Liverpool extended their lead at the top, while Manchester United's struggles continued, bringing them closer to the relegation zone.
Liverpool secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolves at Anfield. Luis Díaz opened the scoring in the 15th minute, ending his goal drought. Mohamed Salah then doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 37th minute, scoring his 23rd league goal of the season.
However, Wolves fought back in the second half, with Matheus Cunha scoring a beautiful goal in the 67th minute. The visitors created several chances to equalize, but Liverpool held on to secure all three points. This win puts Liverpool seven points clear at the top of the table, keeping their title hopes alive.
In another crucial match, Tottenham edged past Manchester United with a 1-0 win. James Maddison, returning from injury, scored the only goal in the 13th minute. United had chances to equalize, but they failed to convert, leading to another disappointing result for manager Ruben Amorim.
With this loss, Manchester United has now lost three of their last four league matches. They have dropped to 15th place, just 12 points above the relegation zone. If their poor form continues, they could get dragged into the relegation battle, which would be a huge embarrassment for a club of their stature.
