Thanks to the equalizer from Richardlison, they're now one point clear of the relegation zone. He found himself in the right position. I think they should have converted some chances they had earlier on but they couldn’t. They will be against Nottingham Forest next week and I believe both of them will be left fighting for relegation. I love the result of games like this, as a Manchester United fan, this draw gladdens me heart.

Not a good result for Liverpool because they were supposed to win a Tottenham team that is close to the relegation zone but Richardlison came to the rescue of Tottenham with his superp strike which helped them to collect a point from Liverpool from away. No doubt Tottenham had more chances they should have converted in the game but Liverpool defenders did a lot of good work which prevented them from scoring but let's wait until Tottenham play with Nottingham Forest the score will determine who will be in the relegation zone completely.

Liverpool is out of options this season, I don't know why the Liverpool board has not yet sacked this coach up till this time. Because I don't understand how a team that, won the league just a year ago is struggling to qualify for even a top four finish. This is strange to me, I expected that Liverpool were going to win this game going by the performance that Tottenham is putting on now. It's really unfortunate that Liverpool finds itself in this type of situation been champions of England, let see how Liverpool will come Against Galatasary in the champions League if they play what I saw them play in this game Liverpool is sure to exiting the champions League too which will not be good for the reputation of Liverpool.

This is causing a lot of poor performance from them. They should have been good and strong because now they had a good chance to go strong and go to the top but they fail themselves by drawing this match. Why is Liverpool doing this now? They think it is because of their coach so there may be some truth in it but some of Liverpool's own mistakes can also be a failure for them. Liverpool can still get into the top 4 but for that they will have to play well and not waste any points. Como is coming up and they should have distanced themselves from them but they won one match and drew this match. While Tottenham was not strong in their case but still Liverpool could not defend  and make their performance even better. Galatasaray is strong and hopefully Liverpool will lose to them although they will have this match anyway otherwise it can be a lot of misfortune for them.

two of the three early matches in the premier league today ended goalless. manchester united secured a fine victory over aston villa, but i would have expected today’s fixtures to produce more goals. aston villa’s decline and manchester united’s resurgence following their managerial change make for an interesting story. aston villa had been in tremendous form for a while.

right now, manchester united’s home form is quite strong. michael carrick might not be able to lead the team to the title this season, but he has managed to become a manager who gives the team hope. 

Manchester United performed well not only at home, but also away from home during Carrick's appointment when Amorim's contract with Manchester United ended.
Manchester United's performance thus far is also inseparable from the foundation built by Amorim. Without Amorim, there wouldn't be the Cunha, Mbeumo, and Sesko we see today. Cunha himself once stated this when the player returned to the game against Aston Villa.

Of the nine Premier League matches, only Manchester United vs Aston Villa has seen an over 3 score. The rest haven't.
Now, Manchester United can look down at the other teams because they are in third place in the table. That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Tottenham had managed to disrupt Liverpool with their pressure right up until the goal but they fell behind due to an unlucky free kick. Liverpool has actually looked quite fragile this season, much like they did today. They were even on the verge of conceding a goal to this Tottenham side, who seem to have forgotten how to play football...

(edit-They conceded a last minute goal lol)

Tottenham are really disrupted Liverpool even after I thought that they had more advantage and they seemed to be dominant. Liverpool are really weak this season and I don't understand why, for a team that has been on top in previous seasons to be reduced to this point is quite disappointing. Conceding at the last minute when they were so close to winning shows how poor their defense has become.

Liverpool fans have gone ballistic. Spurs scored a last gasp goal and fans were shouting on a live broadcast to fire Arne Slot. btw Szoboszlai's free kick was lucky to go in and honestly if Tottenham weren't so wasteful they had 3 sitters and only scored one. it’s unbelievable that Liverpool plays like this with such a massive squad.

When I saw Liverpool winning the match I thought it is going to end like that, not knowing that Tottenham make a very big U-turn to share the point between both of them. For a very long time i know Arne Slot was not an option for Liverpool even though some people are mistakening his performance in the first season that he came which I disagree with anyone that says he did well in the first season, all those victories was acquired with the help of the former Liverpool coach, he did so well by keeping the players that he will work with and succeed and that is what exactly happened.

Ever since this season started i was never surprised about the performance of Arne Slot, even in his first season he wasn't the one getting things done because if assume he was the one what happened in a second season when things turn upside down.

Those are two different competitions and I don’t expect Liverpool to perform as they did in this match today. They’ve been playing not so cool and after they’ve not been able to play better against Tottenham Hotspur who looks to be fighting themselves out of the relegation zone, I think they’ll have a very tough one ahead of them in the premier league. Tottenham Hotspur was not very great, and Liverpool had the better squad and players than they do, so I was surprised by the result of this match. But as football may have it, the better and luckiest team gets to win the trophy.

Manchester United's performance now calls praises as the ha ve  learnt verious ways of making fans proud which is by constantly winning when it is expected from them. The Manchester united of previous years is no longer the united we are seeing now as Michael carrick has ended up rearranging or re-branding the squad no one believed in to become one of the most promising team this season in the Premier League. If only Manchester United could continue in such winning spirit i think they will make it to the champions league tournament next season as playing European football have been of there greatest dream for years now which is about to come through this season.

Liverpool won’t be achieving anything this season, it’s surprising that a team that won the last premier league title is now performing so poor this season. I don’t know why Liverpool are still keeping slots because his performance has been so terrible this season, and I was expecting a better performance from him this season, but right now he is losing matches which he is suppose to win. Liverpool played draw against Tottenham today again, a team thats struggling at the bottom of the table. Maybe when Liverpool performance gets worst, they going to consider sacking slot.

[Odusko]

You got to love this Arsenal team, they never give up and prepared to do what it takes to win. Two goals in extra time is incredible plus making history at the same time….Max Dowman is breaking records as one of the youngest players to score in the Premier League. What more do haters need before they start giving Arsenal the respect they deserve??

Unlike Manchester city, Asernal finished this weekend game on a very remarkable note, coming from zero goals to scoring 2 goals in the extra time of match is an incredible performance that only desperate moves can beinzthat to see such achievements, Manchester city draw their match on a 1:1 with a much smaller club, at this point Manchester city is no longer on the fav list of premier league winners this season as their keep losing points daily.

Seems you have changed your mind about Arsenal winning the league title. You’re lucky you didn’t take me up on that bet. Would have been the easiest money you ever lost. Arsenal are a compact team, fine, they don’t have a striker who can bang highest goals of the season but like top managers do, Mikel Arteta have found a way to make the best out of the team. IMO Arsenal should win multiple trophies this season.

I will not deny that fact that Asernal lack the striker that can deliver goals on steady basis like having to score hatric in some games this season, but also we can not jump into conclusions on Asernal inability to keep their points till the end of this league and if you check the last few game's Asernal have recorded more positive results than ever which is something unexpected from them in case if last few seasons back we can see how they will be inconsistent at this stage of league already.

I think by now we all know what to expect from this Liverpool team, we have seen now they play all season and if you expect anything different from them at this stage of the season then you are expecting too much. A win today would have put them in a very real good position to qualify for the champions league next season but instead they failed to beat a struggling Tottenham at home. As for slot I think the board just needs to manage him till the end of season then decide if they can give him to finish his contract or sack him and bring in a new coach.

We now focus on the champions league, they will be playing galatasaray, a team that is proving to be a good one this season, they have played twice to Liverpool this season and they came up too much in both occasions. I think Liverpool stand a big chance to qualify but after that performance today against Tottenham then I’m having a change of mind.

Conceding at the last minute when they were so close to winning shows how poor their defense has become.

Liverpool was having more advantages but they didn't use the opportunity well to win the Match. As D. Szoboszlai scored the goal in the 18 minutes, they would have using all their might to protect the goal because they know that this season is not good for them so the first thing to do was to secure the goal before battling to score or end the game with 1-0. But you know Tottenham was also playing foe seasonal survival game, so they made it sure that Liverpool didn't win them in the game and they struggled to achieve it with 1-1.

Liverpool had the opportunity to win with loads of goals,  the wasted those opportunities unfortunately.  Maybe the are not laying their best because of their Champions League match against Galatasaray which is a high priority match for them since they are a goal down already. Tottenham on the other hand are already out of the Champions League because they can not come back from the defeat they receive from Atletico Madrid which would have made them play well to avoid relegation.

Liverpool performance as really reduced and I didn't expect they will draw against Tottenham today because the way they are playing sine from the first half i think they will get the victory today against Tottenham, and they are even playing at home and they probably draw he game. I don't think Liverpool can win any title this season and even the champions league that they play against Galatasaray was not good and they week they will play the second leg we don't really know who can get the chance to qualify to the next stage we all know that Galatasaray have more opportunities then Liverpool since they have advantage of one goal lead and they can defend well and end the game in a draw and qualify but I get the believe that Liverpool will do there best and achieve victory let see how the game will ends this wee.

Just one competition, not two or three. If you still can't end the Premier League competition in the best position, what words are appropriate to address to Manchester United. Is not it?
Carrick is reorganizing the wreckage of the destruction but it will all be for nothing if he finishes outside automatic qualification for the Champions League.

And this comes from my mouth as a Manchester United fan who just gave in when almost all the fans jeered when Manchester United lost and at other times when changing uniforms we chose to be loyal.
We deserve to be arrogant with a series of satisfying results. Different from those who want to be happy when they just win. How inappropriate.

I believe they will be able to do it by qualifying for the UCL competition for next season because they are in good momentum right now and also Carrick is the right coach who is able to raise the spirit of the players, besides we realize that other teams or their current challengers are not in consistent performance, Liverpool Chelsea who should be their tough opponents in this competition are in bad condition.

[Adiljutt156]

Arsenal really gave me a shocker in that yesterday game, i actually thought the game would end in a draw but to my best of surprise they made their way to the back of the Everton's net twice at such critical time, i was really amazed by that winning like it was absolutely out of the picture and that alone shows how serious Mikel Arteta and his boys are in this season and without delay i will say they are the 2025/2026 English premier league champions and no one can dispute that fact because Manchester city has lost it for that drew with Westham.

Arsenal football team performance was great in the last match because they did great effort in the last match and players of that team did back to back goals in this match. Gyökeres was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 89 minutes and that was first goal of the match and before that we saw no goal in this match. There was no goal in the first half of the match and no player did goal in the first half by any team and shots of Everton football team were less in this match and possession percentage of that team was not more in this match . The passes of any team shows their all stats and we saw very low passes by  Everton football team

Not a good result for Liverpool because they were supposed to win a Tottenham team that is close to the relegation zone but Richardlison came to the rescue of Tottenham with his superp strike which helped them to collect a point from Liverpool from away. No doubt Tottenham had more chances they should have converted in the game but Liverpool defenders did a lot of good work which prevented them from scoring but let's wait until Tottenham play with Nottingham Forest the score will determine who will be in the relegation zone completely.

Liverpool were a bit unlucky, it is true. Because they conceded a goal in the last minute of the match. Richarlison's goal in the 90th minute brought Tottenham to an equalizer. But did liverpool play well ? I did not like Liverpool's performance at all. With 64 % ball possession, they were able to take 16 shots. Out of these, only 3 shots were on target. On the other  hand, tottenham players only had 36% ball possession. They were able to take 12 shots. But only 7 were on target. Tottenham players performed better in this match  compared to Liverpool. If liverpool performs like this against galatasaray, they will definitely be eliminated from the champions league.

I can't wait to see Manchester United playing in the Champions League next season because it's been a while. Of course, Manchester United is even in a good form than Manchester City, it's just that City was far ahead of them during the days of their tribulations before Carrick took over the team, if not Manchester United would have overtaken City from the second position.

Chelsea and Liverpool is lucky that none of the teams behind them is strong enough to overtake them if not, they will fall below their current position on the table.

Galatasaray is strong and hopefully Liverpool will lose to them although they will have this match anyway otherwise it can be a lot of misfortune for them.

This was not a "close match we almost won" situation. This was Spurs. Spurs who literally couldn't fill their bench to the right. And there Liverpool still couldn't close it out.

This team I've been watching for long enough to know when something is just off. Right now it's like looking at someone driving with the handbrake on. They have the ball all the time, they're throwing it around, it looks like soccer football. But nothing does really happen. And then suddenly in the 90th minute something does happen and it's always bad.

Yeah Slot changed they way they play, made it slower, made it more patient. But the players aren't teenagers, they should adapt. Salah especially. That guy's been here forever and right now he looks lost out there, which I never thought I'd type.

Galatasaray already defeated Liverpool in a match once this season. Same opponent, same result. That's a pattern and Liverpool haven't been able to fix whatever caused it.

Top 4 is still possible but it was this draw that hurt more than it should have.

[Rikafip]

Not a good result for Liverpool because they were supposed to win a Tottenham team that is close to the relegation zone but Richardlison came to the rescue of Tottenham with his superp strike which helped them to collect a point from Liverpool from away.

Eeven thought they conceeded the late goal, Liverpool should be happy with a point as they could have ended with nothing if Tottneham players had a little bit more compsure.

On the other hand, Tottenham is probably satisfied with the point, and even more with how they played last as their players finally showed will to fight and avoid relegatiom. The next game vs Nottingham Forrest will show whether they have what it takes so stay in EPL.

[SatoPrincess]

Manchester United under Carrick keep surprising us. They looked really good yesterday and controlled the tempo of the game well. Unai Emery’s tactics couldn’t save Villa from a 3-1 defeat. At this rate, Villa might not be playing champions league football next season.

[Stavri]

Ever since this season started i was never surprised about the performance of Arne Slot, even in his first season he wasn't the one getting things done because if assume he was the one what happened in a second season when things turn upside down.

he is only staying in charge on the back of his Champions League performance, despite the disastrous league form and the humiliating early exit from the Carabao Cup. If he gets knocked out by a team like Galatasaray... he won't see next season. That’s why he’ll be throwing the kitchen sink at the second leg.
