Spurs hanging on by a fingernail now. A win today and anything still is possible, but if United can get a result, Leicester is two wins and a draw from the title.

If I knew Peter Crouch was gonna kiss the top of my head after, I might try not to score there.

Ha, as soon as that ball came in, I knew Crouchie was going for the bicycle kick. He pulled a couple off for the Reds back in the day.

Just no room on the field for anyone in Tottenham. I don't know if United have put three passes together yet.

Another from Origi!

Probably meant to be a cross for Sturridge, but it snuck inside the far post.

Could have had a 20 minute hat-trick if he'd been able to direct a header on target from Moreno's cross.

My wife just popped into my den to see what game I'm watching. It happens to be Man U v Spurs. She sees its Man Utd and disappears for 30 seconds. She comes back with an away Man Utd shirt...been married 10 years and never knew she had a Man Utd shirt...she doesn't even follow football.

That's legal grounds for divorce.

Lol Pieters giving Klopp a shoulder bump as he leaves the pitch. Had one of the worst games I've seen a Liverpool opposing defender since the Suarez/Kaboul days

I've been able to watch this game for the last 30 minutes or so with complete confidence that Liverpool is going to win.

I honestly can't remember the last time that happened.

Looks like the league's not quite done yet.

Spurs absolutely smothering United. One chance all game on a nice individual effort by Martial, but they have no chance to score. Strangely, they have taken their corners short, kicking it around once or twice before Spurs take it away.

I just looked at the table. Today's win over Sunderland, combined with MUFC's loss to Tottenham, guarantees that Leicester City's in the Champions League next season.

Just got to watching Schalke-Dortmund. The first half was well-played but not all that exciting. The second half, on the other hand, was absolute mayhem - some superb football and entertaining as hell. Anyone looking to watch a bit could do far worse than that 2H.
