And here’s Andy Hunter’s from Anfield, with which I sign out. Bye!
When Liverpool fans next congregate at Anfield in two Sundays’ time it should be for an occasion they have craved for 35 years: to celebrate a league title triumph in person. A dramatic late victory over West Ham, secured by Virgil van Dijk’s 89th minute winner, left Arne Slot’s side needing a maximum of six points to claim a record-equalling 20th league championship.
The destiny of the Premier League title will be confirmed next Sunday should Arsenal lose at Ipswich and Liverpool win at Leicester. If not, two more wins will make sure for the Anfield club. Leicester and Tottenham come next. They can feel it. Liverpool were second best for much of the second half against Graham Potter’s visitors and indebted to goalkeeper Alisson for delaying an equaliser until a Van Dijk error forced Andy Robertson to concede an own goal in the 86th minute. But the Liverpool captain atoned in style and celebrated a precious winner by kissing the Liver bird on his chest. A new two-year contract to follow that of Mohamed Salah should be confirmed soon.

Here’s Ben Fisher’s match report from Molineux, where it sounds like Spurs managed to embarrass themselves again:
As Tottenham’s preparation for, by some distance, the biggest game of their season goes, this was an ominous if not pathetic performance. If it did not already for Ange Postecoglou, it increasingly feels like win or bust in the Europa League. After this defeat, a sixth in seven matches on the road, it is plausible to think Spurs could finish as low as 17th in the Premier League.
Spurs did not recover from conceding after just 85 seconds and a comical own goal by Djed Spence and a Jørgen Strand Larsen tap-in, after an error by their captain, Cristian Romero, were in keeping with a dreadful display.
