Darren Bent agrees with Owen Hargreaves that inconsistency will cost Manchester United in the re-energised top four race this season. Having slipped away from contention, the Old Trafford giants are right back in the mix after a dramatic Premier League matchday.
Fourth-placed Tottenham were surprisingly beaten in the early kick-off against Brighton. After that, north London rivals Arsenal were edged out by Southampton and Cristiano Ronaldo -inspired United took full advantage of those results with a 3-2 victory over rock-bottom Norwich.
It means there are only three points between Tottenham, United and Arsenal heading into the closing stretch. But, according to the pundits, there is one clear favourite to join Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea in qualifying for the Champions League.
