Premier League points table: Liverpool extend the gap to six points at the top

New Delhi: Saturday’ fixtures for matchday 22 of Premier League have finally come to an end with some big leaps in the table. Newcastle were embarassed at their own ground when Bournemouth travelled to St. James’ Park to thrash the host 4-1, with a Justin Kluivert hat-trick. That helped the Cherrries climb up to sixth position, which is a massive leap from eighth, while Newcastle remained fourth. Liverpool’s late two goals by Darwin Nunez against a brave Brentford side helped them gain a further advantage at the top of the table, extending the gap to six points. West Ham’s home loss to Crystal Palace meant they sit 14th while Palace climb over United to 12th.

On the other hand, the survival chances of Leicester and Ruud Van Nistelroy took a further blow as they missed out on a golden opportunity to move out of the relegation zone but lost against Fulham to stay 18th in the league. Meanwhile the Cottagers climbed up and now they sit ninth, breathing down the champions Manchester City’s neck.
