We begin with United vs Fulham at Craven Cottage. The home team has been on the front foot for the first fifteen minutes, and Ole has opted to rest some key players ahead of the PSG midweek fixture.

Pogba puts home the first goal of the game with a lovely weak foot shot that surprised the keeper.

Fulham look more lively now with 3 at the back & the rest pushing up. But it does look more likely that ManU hits on the counter before Fulham break through.

It’s a little wild that ManU can bring on Alexis Sanchez after they go up 3-0.

Depending on tomorrow’s results, United could be top 4 heading into next week. Their fixture list starts to have a brutal run of games this week but I’m shocked at how quickly we’ve made up 11 points.

I miss when nbc showed a ton of matches on tv. I’d much rather watch west ham vs Palace which should be a good, open attacking match. It makes total sense to show Liverpool but I think the other will be a more entertaining match

Honestly gold isn’t that bad of a deal. I think it’s $50 for every game of the season.

I’ve been on reddit reading the broadcasting issues in the UK. It blows my mind that we get more games than they do.

With the amount that I watch it should be a no brained but something about it bothers me.

Liverpool look a lot better today than they have in a while. Cherries may be in for a long day

The double-dip business model spreading throughout media distribution is infuriating. Gold was one of the first I encountered. ESPN purchasing Serie A and then hiding 95% of it behind their paywall was the next. Fuck these guys.

Liverpool look like Brendan Rodgers stole a Klopp suit.

If you aren't watching West Ham v. Palace you are missing out. Has been end to end with very few slow periods. Also Felipe Anderson is ridiculous.

That’s a beautiful goal, especially kieta’s wonderfully curled, weighted ball.

I missed halftime his head was ahead of play wasn’t it? Also wasn’t sure if he ever got back from offside position in first place

Yeah I think the left side of his head was ahead of Aké's shoulder. I wasn't sure if NBC stopped it right at the point of contact with the ball by Milner, but it was close

Great ball by Keïta to start that move

To be fair to Aké, he's been having to do it on his own. Cook is... cooked, and Diego Rico has been lost all day

West Ham getting hosed by a bad ref decision again. On the break, player is taken out on a bad tackle nowhere near the ball. Ref plays advantage and reaches for the book to come back and card. Realizes it would be a second yellow and instead gives a warning. There have been 5 yellows in this game, and none of them were anywhere near as bad as that one.

Really infuriating, equalizer by a player who is supposed to be suspended, scored by a team that should be down a man

Horrible call against Son, clearly tripped in the penalty area and got a yellow for diving.

Today I have learned that a terrible call against Son makes me 50% madder than any other terrible call.

Salah would have gotten it
:)

Imo Spurs deserve so much more credit than they are getting. It’s been an absolute nightmare season. Stadium issues, injury, no signings, manager being constantljnked with a move away. That they’re in the title race right now is a complete miracle

Son with the clincher in the 91st minute--3-1 win. Still in the race.
