Areola defeats Liverpool

The third goalkeeper of the Blues largely contributed, Saturday during West Ham-Liverpool, to probably extinguishing the last hopes of the Reds for the title of champion of England.

Of course, mathematically everything remains possible. But morale was not high in the Liverpool clan on Saturday after the draw conceded on the West Ham pitch (2-2). This result obtained during the Premier League matchday 35 takes Jürgen Klopp’s players away from the English championship title. Liverpool remain third in the table, two points behind leader Arsenal, who will play at Tottenham on Sunday. Manchester City, second, has two games in hand.

Clearly superior to West Ham, especially in the second half, Liverpool were unable to win, notably because of a little clumsiness and Alphonse Areola. The number three goalkeeper of the France team made a few decisive saves while Antonio equalized with a header in favor of the Londoners (77th). Three days after a home defeat in the Mersey derby against Everton (0-2), the Reds will have difficulty recovering from this new failure.
