On Wednesday, the last five matches of the 28th round of the English Premier League were played.
At Anfield Stadium, seeking revenge against Manchester City for a painful defeat in the English League Cup final, Liverpool faced the City team. The revenge was sweet: the "Reds" crushed the visitors from Manchester with a score of 3-0.
Throughout the match, Manuel Pellegrini's players were lacking. The "Citizens" managed to make only three shots towards the goal, while Liverpool took advantage of their opponents' uncertainty.
In the 34th minute, Adam Lallana put the hosts ahead, scoring after a pass from James Milner. A second goal seven minutes later allowed Jurgen Klopp's team to take a two-goal lead.
The final word was spoken in the 57th minute by Roberto Firmino. Liverpool, with 41 points, climbs to eighth place and has played fewer matches, while Man City complicates their situation in the battle for the top four.
Tottenham, who has been fighting for the top spot all season, missed a great opportunity to equalize points with Leicester City. Mauricio Pochettino's team fell to West Ham.
Another North London team also disappointed their fans. Arsenal suffered a defeat against Swansea, diminishing their chances of triumphing in the English Premier League after many years.
Manchester United secured a tough victory at Old Trafford. Juan Mata's accurate shot in the 83rd minute secured a win for the "Red Devils" against Watford. Man Utd leveled points with Man City after successful match, but the latter has played one less game.
