Con la derrota del Tottenham de Mauricio Pochettino a manos del West Ham United en el comienzo de la fecha 36, Chelsea pudiera lograr el titulo de la Premier League el próximo viernes, si gana sus partidos del lunes frente a Middlesbrouh y viernes contra West Bromwich Albion…
Hoy Tottenham no pudo frente a West Ham United en partido disputado en el Olimpico de Londres ante mas 57 mil aficionados y un gol del Argentino Manuel Lanzini a los 65 minutos,fue suficiente para la victoria de los dirigidos por Slaven Bilic que llegan a 42 puntos en 36 partidos jugados, y saltan al noveno lugar de la general, mientras que Tottenham se queda con 77 en 35 partidos, con 4 menos que el líder Chelsea que tiene 4 partidos por disputar.
El gol de Lanzini de 24 años, fue el septimo en la presente temporada y le permite superar los 6 que anoto en su primera campaña en la Premier League…
Manuel Lanzini scored the winning goal to give West Ham United a victory that puts a major dent in Tottenham Hotspur’s title ambitions.
The Hammers, needing points themselves to guarantee their survival, started brightly but the best chance of the opening half fell to Harry Kane, whose shot was saved by the outstretched leg of Adrian.
The home side continued to frustrate their London rivals after the break and they took the lead on 65 minutes, Lanzini pouncing on a loose ball after Spurs could not clear their area.
West Ham pushed for a second, and Jonathan Calleri forced a great save from Hugo Lloris, but the one goal was enough to seal a result that could have a significant impact on the title race.
Chelsea will now claim their fifth Premier League crown if they win their next two fixtures, against Middlesbrough on Monday and West Bromwich Albion next Friday, which take place before Spurs play again.
West Ham, meanwhile, are up to ninth place on 42 points and are mathematically safe.
