Liverpool's Premier League title bid hit by draw with Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United thrashed at Brighton

Liverpool's Premier League title bid suffered a blow as Tottenham Hotspur earned a 1-1 draw against the quadruple chasers, while Manchester United crashed to a "humiliating" 4-0 defeat at Brighton on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp's side fell behind to Son Heung-min's second-half goal at Anfield before Luis Diaz equalised in the closing stages. Son tapped in Ryan Sessegnon's cross in the 56th minute after good work from Harry Kane in the build-up. Diaz bagged Liverpool's fortuitous equaliser when his 20-yard drive went in off Rodrigo Bentancur. Liverpool, who have already won the League Cup and have Champions League and FA Cup finals to come, moved to the top of the table above Manchester City on goal difference.

But champions City will go three points clear of Liverpool if they beat Newcastle in their game in hand at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. That would be a massive boost to City's hopes of retaining the title with just three games left for both teams after this weekend. "It is incredibly difficult to play against an opponent with world-class players and a world-class manager when they have had a week to prepare and we play every three days," Klopp said. "The dressing room is not flying, come on, but there are other games to play. We just have to keep going." The draw was also not enough for Tottenham in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League via a top-four finish. Tottenham remain fifth and will fall four points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal if the Gunners beat Leeds on Sunday.

Manchester United have endured a host of humiliations in one of their most embarrassing seasons for decades and their lacklustre loss at Brighton was among the very worst. Ralf Rangnick's side were routed by goals from Moises
