Premier League Race Heats UpIn a gripping weekend of football, Liverpool has once again proved why they are top contenders for the Premier League

Liverpool have moved six points clear of second-placed Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table following a remarkable 2-0 win at Brentford on Saturday af

Darwin Nunez was still trotting on to the pitch having been introduced midway through the second half when he was serenaded by chants from the home crowd that suggested the Uruguayan was, in polite terms, an inferior version of former Liverpool striker Andy Carroll.

After such a brilliant performance full of energy, cutting edge and drive, Arsenal inexplicably found a way to chuck two points away as their jaded, injury-hit team were dejected at the final whistle. They’re still 12 games unbeaten in the Premier League but this draw hurt. It stung. It felt like a defeat.

Former England striker, Gary Lineker, has said it is “hard to envisage” anyone but Liverpool winning the Premier League title. Over the weekend, the Reds extended their lead at the top of the table to six points.
