Good Day Friends and Football Lovers,
It's now quite obvious that the top 4 fight is going to last till the very last match but that the teams involved would go beyond Arsenal and Tottenham is something I am personally trying to sniff out of the current forms and stats.
Firstly, I was choked to see Tottenham with such a huge win against Newcastle in a match that didn't feature a red card. That win also helped me to draw the final conclusion that Manchester United is either heading to the UEL or nowhere else.
Though as a United fan, I was actually praying that Arsenal should lose yesterday and somehow, there was this confidence in me that Arsenal wasn't going to get a win, I don't really know why maybe because I thought of how difficult it had been for Manchester United lately against Crystal Palace too.
To some extent, Crystal Palace and Newcastle does know how to play a classic underdog match whereby the big team plays all in all, wins the possessions, creates more close chances but never gets a goal at the end of the ninety minutes.
A classic underdog match was what Palace played against Arsenal yesterday, they allowed them had full control of the ball but not within their goal box and considering the smart attackers available with Palace, it was very easy for them to be clinical with their few chances.
Having a player like Cnnor in Palace's midfield made is somewhat easy to push fast attacks because the lad is quite fast and quick to deciding what to do with his ball, and having finishers like Zaha, Matete, and Ayew sealed all sense of opportunities for Palace.
In short form, Arsenal lost and that gives Tottenham a very precious edge to pin Arsenal considering the fact that Arsenal still has to play Manchester United, Chelsea, and even Tottenham while Tottenham has just Liverpool aside from Arsenal herself.
It's really going to a difficult one from this point and I personally feel the fight would last till the 38th match and could be even more terrible if United wakes from her dying bed.
Did you get to see Tottenham's match against Newcastle?
For me, the match was something far from just a win and Conte's celebration for every single goal tells me the kind of match it was. The fist goal came from Schar for Newcastle and I personally took that as my best goal in in the match, the free kick was everything mind pleasing.
The Kane and Son duo had always been the reason why I do pick interest in Tottenham at any point in time but with the addition of Kulusevski this season, I'd began to see something more, the youngster is just smart and fast as Kane and Son and that kind of makes the team's attacks just more dangerous.
At time point, I don't even know which team to hope for to make the top 4 race within Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United but I'm sure any team that makes it definitely deserves it.
