How title race stands after Man City take advantage of Liverpool slip-up

As has often been the case in recent years, this season has seen Manchester City and Liverpool battle it out for top spot and an exciting conclusion remains in store.

With three games left to play, Pep Guardiola's troops sit top of the pile on 86 points boasting a three-point advantage over the Reds who are breathing down their necks in second. Match-week 35 saw Liverpool play first when they welcomed Spurs to Anfield for what was undoubtedly the toughest game left in their run-in.

Surprisingly, Klopp's side looked second-best at times as they struggled to come to terms with Antonio Conte's set-up that saw them make full use of their wing-backs and hit the Reds on the counter. Spurs actually went one-nil up just before the hour mark when Son Heung-Min tapped home unmarked from close range.
