Westham slows down City's race to the title.
The English Premier League action doesn't stop surprising and entertaining football fanatics all the time, the League is just so unpredictable. The unexpected happens from time to time and those things make the league more exciting, my weekend is somehow dedicated to the English Premier League.
It is a distraction I can't deal with and if I am not done with the matches, it is always hard to concentrate on other things. It doesn't feel like this for everyone because of how much we can handle multitasking but I am certain many can testify to how electrifying the league games can be, it is hard to miss awesome moments from my favorite matches.
The Saturday fixture was all about Manchester City vs Westham match for me but the fixtures at White Hart lane caught my attention been the first match of the day and as difficult as the Tottenham vs Burnley game could be, I knew Spurs will squeeze through with the first half lead they took from the spot-kick. Harry Kane did justice to the penalty kick as usual and Spurs at the moment is sitting above Arsenal in the league, they have automatically earned themselves an opportunity to play in the next season's UCL if things remain like this and they get through in the playoff.
Manchester City almost got defeated in the encounter against Westham and the result at the end of 90 minutes threw the league open again to Liverpool, Manchester City as a matter of fact must win their last encounter against Aston Villa. It would have been okay to say it would be easy for them but Westham must have given Aston Villa the hope of getting a point against Manchester City in the final match of the season even if they stand the slightest chance to do so. An unforgettable history would be made in the English Premier League if Manchester City fails to win the league, I don't see that happening yet, but nothing is impossible in the Premier League.
Just like I did, a lot of people would have staked on Manchester City to win the encounter and possibly seal the title win even before the last match but things went the other way round.
It was Mark Noble's final season with Westham and I think the team wanted to make his final moment with the club a special one, Westham came into the match with so much determination. The team had a beautiful season despite crashing out of the Uefa Europa League in the semi-finals, the need to play in the Uefa competition next season must have been part of what inspired the team also because winning their remaining games would have made them finish above Manchester United.
As it stands, they might still stand a chance to play in the Europa if United fails to win their last game and Westham win against Brighton or they will just settle with the Uefa conference league ticket.
Seeing Manchester City down by two goals in the first half was shocking, I didn't see that coming. Bowen was able to infiltrate Guardiola mighty defense, the Westham side lacked possession but were always ready to attack with the ball at every chance they got and it paid off.
Westham went into the first half break with the lead and it must be really exciting for them and every Liverpool fan out there. The second half kicked off and Jack Grealish pulled one back for his side, it was a needed goal to help regain City's confidence in the match, and Coufal's 69th-minute own goal gave the visitors the leveler.
Manchester City had the opportunity to take the lead in the 86th minute but Mahrez failed to convert the chances and it ended in a draw, it still baffles me why Mahrez was Guardiola's choice for the penalty when Kevin De Bruyne was on the field.
It was an emotional one for the Westham fan seeing their longest serving player retire, his dedication and commitment meant a lot to the team, and the captain has earned the applause from both Westham and Manchester City fans.
5 years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://peakd.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem
I will keep saying this football is fun and sometimes the result just baffles you.
It would have been so easy to declare man city as the winner of the leagues but then they went ahead to draw which gave Liverpool a little hope.
I never thought Manchester City would draw that match would have man city all the way if I was to predict but then it football it unpredictable.
You are right bro, no one saw that coming. I believe that they still stand a good chance of winning the league because Aston Villa wouldn't be able to stop them except if Gerard go extra mile for the team. He is a Liverpool legend and would love to see his old-time win the title.

Fortunately for Manchester City, they avoided defeat
Thanks for the update.
An interesting turn of events. Not too surprising, if we clean the window and see that Westham has been a thorn in the flesh of big clubs this season. Even the first leg against City was no easy match for City.
We watch as things unfold.
