10Paul Pogba slammed by fans for kung fu kick on Robert Snodgrass
Felipe Anderson saw an early opener wrongly ruled out for offside, but the Brazilian cancelled out Pogba’s contentiously-awarded penalty shortly after half-time as the Hammers capitalised on David De Gea’s poor throw.The United goalkeeper made amends as Manuel Pellegrini’s men pushed for a winner, producing an outstanding one-handed save from Michail Antonio shortly after the West Ham substitute rattled the goalframe.Yet the visitors returned to the capital empty-handed after Pogba smashed home his second spot-kick to keep up United’s top-four charge on an evening when the performance will have alarmed Solskjaer.
10Crystal Palace 1-3 Manchester City
Raheem Sterling’s double kept Manchester City’s bid to retain their Premier League crown on track as they sank Crystal Palace 3-1 – READ THE FULL MATCH REPORT HERE.Sterling took his goal tally for the season to 21 and Gabriel Jesus chipped in with the third as dominant City passed the latest test of their title credentials.Selhurst Park has been a graveyard for title campaigns in the recent past, notably when Liverpool’s wheels came off in 2014 and City suffered a similar fate a year later.Palace were also looking to complete an unlikely double over the champions, as the only visiting team to win at the Etihad this season thanks to Andros Townsend’s wonder-goal.But with Christian Benteke, handed a first start since February 9, cutting an isolated figure in attack the Eagles failed to lay a glove on Pep Guardiola’s side until Luka Milivojevic scored with a free-kick.It did not knock City out of their stride, though, with substitute Jesus ensuring they recorded a ninth successive Premier League victory.
10Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea
Mohamed Salah scored a wonderstrike as Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with a crucial victory against Chelsea on Sunday READ THE FULL MATCH REPORT HERE.After a closely fought first-half, Sadio Mane headed the hosts in front shortly after half-time following a superb chipped cross from Jordan Henderson.Just two minutes later, Salah picked up the ball from 25-yards and unleashed a thunderbolt into the top corner, leaving Blues stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga with no chance.Salah’s goal was worthy of winning a title let alone a game, but for now Liverpool will settle for the latter.A two-point lead over City, winners at Crystal Palace, was restored and proved Jurgen Klopp’s previous assertion that no-one is getting rid of his side in this most enthralling of races.
