European Soccer Updates: The English Premier League

Mourinho's Spurs battered, infantilized and thrashed by a running free and on the spot well-read Manchester United side, while Leicester City were sliced into pieces by a determined, well constructed, composed and courant Westham United team.

As the season narrows to the end, the battle for the top four spots widens to an open floor degree; where some teams are expected to be battered before finally accepting their Europa positions....in the English Premier league, while others would consequently be relegated to FA Cup, Caraboa Cup and EPL levels.

Spurs took a controversial lead through Heung-Min Son after United were unpredictably and controversially denied a vital goal lead through Cavani. The goal scorer Edison Cavani could be clearly spotted on the pitch looking absolutely furious with the harsh decision meted against his goal.

Spurs have dropped plenty of points from winning positions - an uncharacteristic trait from a Mourinho side, the Tottenham boss needs a result now more than ever to keep his hope high for one of the top four spots in England.

A re-enforced, reignited and impeccable... United side took the second half by storm and registered three solidly made goals to continue cementing their second position in the League's table.

An imaginative, sharp, and clinically finishing Edison Cavani still re-energized himself and registered a goal to his name although he was polemically denied one in the early stages of the first half by the self discretional Video Assistant Referee Crew.

Chelsea's astonishing trashing at Stamford Bridge by a low level and merely relegated West Bromwich Albion side means, they got to run for their money to complete the season in one of the top four spots.

Despite the Londoners' side completely burning Crystal Palace in Yesterday's late game, their top four spot finish remains a far fetch mentality based on the astonishing results emanating from the league weekend after weekend. Tuchel needs more than it takes to win games without drawing particularly the remaining seven .

Leicester City are also sweating from the embarrassment they had to entertain this afternoon from another top spot chasing Westhampton United squad, while Manchester City, the Champions elect would feel the worst punch of the weekend, if Sheffield United did not flabbergast Arsenal.

Pep was left stone cold yesterday after registering the worst record of his coaching career. How can inferior Leeds United side beat them at the Etihad in-spite of having a man down from the first half ?
