Summary
After a Sunday full of drama and controversy, Gab Marcotti is joined by Paul Joyce, James Gheerbrant and Bill Edgar to discuss the major talking points in the Premier League.
Liverpool return to the top of the table with a last-gasp victory over Spurs at Anfield. How much of a role is luck playing in this title race? Could the defining moment of Liverpool’s season not involve Lloris and Alderweireld but in fact Van Dijk and Sissoko? And what about Tottenham, who are finding different ways to lose…
Speaking of luck, is Solskjaer riding his at Old Trafford, after Manchester United survive a Watford onslaught to win at Old Trafford?
And after Cardiff’s defeat to Chelsea, is Neil Warnock right to bemoan Premier League officials as the worst in the world? Maurizio Sarri shoots himself in the foot with the media again – but is he actually a fan of Callum Hudson-Odoi?
Plus Siewert, Sunderland and the battle for the Bundesliga.
