Even though they were behind in the first half by 1 goals, Tottenham were able to catch up in the 2nd half and immediately launched a deadly attacking and were able to create a goal at the start of the 2nd half. Destiny Udogie was able to score a goal in the 48th minutes and 1 minute later, Brennan Johnson scored 2nd additional goals, Richarlison was able to add another 3rd goals total in the 56th minute. Brentford increase the total to 2 goals in the 67th minutes but this was not enough to steal 1 point from Tottenham because Tottenham were trying to wins this match at homed.

Yes, as long as Son Heung Min is not at the club, Tottenham attacks seems to be slacking off and having difficulty scored
goals, but even so, Tottenham still don't give up because they also continues to performed as hard as possible so they can be back in the top 4 and thanks to this victory, Tottenham is in 4th placed even though have the same points as Aston Villa but at least Tottenham can compete again for a placed in the Champions League next seasons.

Tottenham really needed this victory and you could see frim how they changed the game in the second half. They got all 3 goals in the second half majorly because of how high they pressed Brentford. They took Brentford by suprise by scoring an equalizer at the early stages of the 2nd half, which game them a boost in that game.They were so lucky even though their attack seems a little sluggish probably because of Son missing out due to the Asian Cup I think they’ll need to up their game and keep maintaining victories so that they’ll be able to finish in the top 4 and head to the UCL.

 I know thier aim is European football and that can be achieved if they’ve got high fighting spirit and are ready to challenge for the spot because they’ve got a good team with quality squad depth that can challenge on Villa and Arsenal and get into the UCL next season if only they keep up with their good performance.

Liverpool completely destroyed Chelsea, which proves that Chelsea's American owner doesn't know what he's doing.
There was a situation for penalty for Chelsea at the beginning of the match, but VAR and the referee didn't see anything.
Other than that, Chelsea was just a too weak to compete against the inspired and highly motivated team from Merseyside.
Liverpool plays great even without Salah. Jota, Nunez and Diaz are at their best shape. Great game for the young Conor Bradley. One goal and two assists for a 20-year old player in a game against Chelsea is a big achievement.
I'm not a Liverpool fan, but I want Liverpool to win Premiership because of Jurgen Klopp.

Without Salah in the match against Chelsea, in fact, it didn't make Liverpool weak because Jota, Nunez and Diaz were able to put on quite an impressive performance on Liverpool front line. Chelsea looked quite weak in yesterday match and they even seemed to have great difficulty in threatening Liverpool goal. I imagine the Carabao Cup final in the upcoming match where Liverpool will face Chelsea and if Chelsea performance is like yesterday match it will certainly be quite easy for Liverpool to beat Chelsea.

Apart from that, Chelsea still finds it difficult to show their strength when facing strong teams. They have not been able to change their performance this season where their defense is one of the things that is quite a concern against Liverpool. because when their defense is not strong then the opponent will be able to play in their defense area like Liverpool did where the ball just rolls under Chelsea defense area which makes Liverpool freely continue to threaten Chelsea goal.

Man Utd was very lucky, Mainoo managed to score their final winning goal in the last minute, in the second half I saw Man Utd's game was very bad, I don't know what happened to Man Utd's back line, they almost conceded a lot, luckily Onana was quick to respond, Wolves too played very well in the second half, they were very dominant, Man Utd could calm down because they managed to climb to 7th position.
in another match, bournemouth almost won if prowse didn't score a goal for west ham, bournemouth was very stable in this match, they played well, it's a shame they weren't lucky.

It wouldn't be a lie to say that Manchester United are playing with fire again. Leading 3-1 in the 75th minute, the team cannot break the match and win. Yes, he won today, but 90+5. The score was 3-3 in the minute. Two minutes after this goal, they scored the winning goal with Mainoo and became the side that got 3 points, but they almost lost the victory they had. Wolverhampton was the side that had the ball more. Manchester played a little hard and got 5 yellow cards. Manu may have won, but he didn't give me any hope for the future. If City keep playing the ball this well. The city of Manchester will remain blue for a long time.

Manchester United are without playing entertaining football once again. They needed to win their game tonight against Wolves which they did put in their best to make sure they took all three points from the game. However, we mustn't shy away from the fact that the club's defensive display tonight was very bad and if not for the stoppage time goal from Mainoo, Wolves would've come back from 3:1 to share points with Erik ten Hag's Manchester United. Wolves did equalize in the game in the 5th minute of additional but failed to to protect their result till the final whistle as Manchester United's Mainoo scored two minutes later to ensure that Manchester United leaves the Molineux stadium tonight. Great result for Manchester United as they got an important win tonight

Yeah, it was pretty bad. And it could've been even worse if not for the missed penalty.
Chelsea got absolutely dominated, only managed to make a total of 4 shots (3 on target) in the entire game Vs Liverpool's 28 (13 on target). It doesn't get much worse than that.
It almost seemed like Liverpool was playing a team from a much lower division. Now they're too far behind to even dream about finishing in the top 5.

Manchester United had a thrilling and hard-fought match against Wolves, but they secured a crucial win in the end. The fact that they needed to put in their big efforts to ensure the three points reflects the struggling situation in their side. The defensive issues faced by Manchester United is an area that may need attention and improvement to ensure a more balanced and secure performance, especially in the latter stages of the game.

The stoppage time goal from Mainoo that secured the victory demonstrates the resilience and determination of the Manchester United squad. Coming back to secure a win after the equalizer shows character and fighting spirit, which are essential qualities for a successful team. This result will undoubtedly boost the confidence of Manchester United, and it's a positive outcome as they aim to maintain momentum and compete at the highest level. Matches like these, with late drama and critical goals, contribute to the excitement.

Mainoo as the savior for manchester united after a hard game against wolves. this is also helping manchester united to be even far from chelsea. United is slowly but surely climbing up even higher than before. yet chelsea must lose three points against liverpool which was very bad achievement for the club.
I was so pumped when the game was entering into the late game as manchester united was unable to score but finally mainoo made it as the end of game. He was scoring for united and it was getting three points. No doubt that if people are starting to praise him on the internal by calling him as a savior.
He has been trending on twitter as well and this is an opportunity for united to get full points in any match. im sure that if manchester united will be performing even better in the upcoming match. Yet defenders and goal keepers are the true opponents of manchester united itself.
The shitty goal keeper and defender who can't play better and they keep stuck in the same place while some players have been performing better in this game. Manchester united was almost losing three points which will be giving bad impact to the club.
Im very happy with the result from this game. Manchester united's effort paid off. thanks mainoo.

It was clear that it was like a match between two teams of different classes, Chelsea couldn't make any effort and couldn't improve their performance because everything was controlled by Liverpool.
Regardless of the final result, there was no significant resistance from Chelsea which allowed Liverpool to easily win the match, which is quite a shame.

For Chelsea's target of finishing in the top 4 or 5, I don't think it will ever happen, they don't deserve it, they still have a lot to fix and it's possible that won't be possible this season.

I think this is not too surprising for many people because Chelsea has not completely improved because sometimes Chelsea is still inconsistent and sometime cannot put pressure on weak teams and sometimes Chelsea can still be beaten by an ordinary team. This defeat is not surprising because basically Liverpool is in good form this season and with full confidence in being able to win the EPL title this season while still being coaching by Kloop, and of course Kloop want to wins the EPL title for the last time with Liverpool.

chelsea's target this season is best to be able to compete in Europe next season europa league or europa confrence league. and in the efl cup chelsea qualify for the final. by winning the efl cup it is guaranteed to get europa league tickets. the best target this season is winning the efl cup or top 6 at the end of the competition. champion league is impossible with chelsea's performance this season which is very bad.

It is true that Chelsea is currently having a bad season in contrast to Liverpool who are experience a much better season, even from the standings table alone it is clear that Chelsea and Liverpool are at different level. Chelsea is like a mediocre club which is ranked 10th while Liverpool is in first place, which mean it will not be easy for Chelsea to beat Liverpool and hold Liverpool to a draw because this club is struggling to maintain its top position so as not to be displaced by Manchester City who continues to trail Liverpool in 2nd placed.

Chelsea is already quite far behind with the top 5 ranked clubs. Aston Villa has collection 43 points while Chelsea has only collected 31 points. The difference of 12 points is a very big difference. It's impossible if Chelsea is able to catch up to be ranked in the top 5. I think Chelsea might still end up on the board middle of the standings or at least in the top 10 of the standings.

This was a very exciting and interesting match to watch because both sides exchanged attacks, where some of which resulted in goals. Man United performed very well in the first half and it seems that they are better than Wolves that always fail to take advantage of the good opportunities they get. But in the second half, the situation changed slightly. Trailing by 2 goals made Wolves increase the intensity of their attacks and this really put pressure on Man United's defense.

The most dramatic was when the match entered injury time. When Wolves thought they could secure 1 point, it turned out that Man United (with their fighting spirit) was able to get the winning goal through Kobbie Mainoo.

[davis196]

Great game between Man United and Wolves(is was great for the neutral fans, not the Man United fans). Getting equalized from 3-1 to 3-3 means that Manchester United lacks confidence and strong defense, their goalkeeper is also mediocre. The "red devils" got kinda lucky because of their 4th goal, but I'm sure that they will keep losing points against the weaker teams in the Premier League.
I hear rumors that United wants to buy Ronaldo Araujo from Barcelona during the summer. I'm not sure that this will stabilize their defensive play.
Marcus Rashford scored a goal, but he is still far away from his peak performance. Manchester United needs several new players and a new manager.

[Godday]

I agree with what you said. They don't deserve it. Chelsea's performance has been really bad this season. I don't know which fan said Chelsea could possibly reach the top 4 or 5 at the end of the season. I think at the moment Tottenham, Aston Villa and West Ham are much better than Chelsea so it's completely unreasonable to say Chelsea will be able to get a place in the top 4 or five at the end of the season. They have to correct their mistakes in this season because I don't think they will get any place in the international league in the next season.

It is very difficult to match the strength of Liverpool who is performing at the peak of their performance, the performances of the two teams which are very different will also produce different results. Chelsea who are currently in a slump, are still having difficulty facing Liverpool, defeat is still very attached to them because the shortcomings in the team have not been able to be resolved.
Klopp is very confident in the current condition of his team, victory over Chelsea is certainly very important for Liverpool who are keeping their distance from Manchester City. As a result of this defeat, it is increasingly difficult for Chelsea to crawl from the middle of the standings, there is no hope for them to appear in European competition next season because their performance has not improved.

Marcus Rashford scored a goal, but he is still far away from his peak performance. Manchester United needs several new players and a new manager.

Even though Manchester United scored 3 points, this victory didn't seem to be that special, because Onana kept conceding and the goal scored by the Wolves players was almost a kick that Onana should have been able to handle easily. Wolves made a good comeback but in the final minutes Kobbie Mainoo became the hero of the victory. In my opinion, Erik Ten Hag must continue to evaluate the performance of his players, especially perhaps being able to temporarily replace Onana with goalkeeper Altay Bayındır, maybe he could be better than Onana.

Seeing Hojlund progress, he has gradually started to enjoy his game and most importantly, Hojlund is not selfish in sharing opportunities with other players. Rashford is now widely doubted by several Manchester United players, absent from training because he was enjoying a party. Erik Ten Hag, if he is really firm, should be able to give a strong warning to anyone, including Rashford, who goes around as he pleases. Rashford is starting to show his indiscipline and that is very bad for a player who is still young.

If bad results keep coming in then I think fans will start trending the #PochOut but while waiting let’s see what he’s got to offer before the season ends. Chelsea is a big club and losing 4-1 is really crazy and isn’t needed at this point. Nkuku happened to be the only standout player in the Chelsea squad yesterday and he should be appreciated and other players should also improve too.

 Well their players especially Gallagher is already over worked and has proven he needs to be on this Chelsea team majorly because of the dirty tackles he helps them do. Well I wouldn’t be blaming on Gallagher but rather Caicedo who should be helping him out has ended up ghosting. Pochettino also has his fair share of the blame because why will he use Cole as a False 9 in that game? He’s tried that before and it didn’t work so why trying again and worst of all in a match against Liverpool.

davis196, Actually Manchester United actually needs a new manager and they also need a lot of change in the squad. Otherwise, the team is not working as well as it should. I think with the team that Manchester United has right now, a new coach can come in and make it work.

But The idea of ‘"making it work" is probably not the best one for Manchester United right now. Because Manchester United need a lot better performance than they are showing right now. So he will have to make a lot of changes. And we also know that some players are not happy. They will have to go and new players will have to be brought in. That is going to cost a lot of money. I hope Manchester United is ready to spend that money

Especially Hojlund and Rashford's performances made me satisfied.    Because these two players are very important for the score contribution now. Rashford has been indeed far from his last season productivity. But lately there is a good improvement in his scoring skills. Rashford should be able to refute the girlfriend theory about him immediately. 

If you don't know about the theory I can summarize it like this:

- Rashford has been able to score many goals and concentration on his game fully when he isn't single. But it has been the opposite in the times he is single.
