Liverpool, Man City still in race for Premier League title as Man United level with Tottenham

Premier League table took a dramatic twist over the weekend as Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Chelsea all secured important victories.

Tottenham who were at some point in December nine points above Manchester United on the table are now level with the Manchester based club.

Hugo Lloris' last minute blunder gave Liverpool a 2-1 win at Anfield as the Reds were on the brink of slipping further away from the title race with Manchester City.

Man United had recorded a slim 2-1 win over Watford at Old Trafford before the match between Mauricio Pochettino's side and Jurgen Klopp's men.

Chelsea were also lucky to have ran away with a last minute winner from Ruben Loftus-Cheek that gave the Blues a 2-1 win away to Cardiff City.

Now, the Blues are just a point behind Spurs and Man United who both occupy third and fourth positions respectively.

But the most interesting part is that Arsenal can shoot themselves to third should they beat Newcastle at the Emirates on Monday, April 1.

Huddersfield were confirmed relegated following a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace as the Terriers will be playing Championship football next season.

Fulham's game against Watford on Tuesday, April 2, will determine their Premier League status while Cardiff will need to wait a little longer to know their fate in the coming weeks.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
