Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool Takes Top Spot in Premier League
Manchester United legend Patrice Evra expressed his emotional response to Liverpool’s rise to the top of the Premier League. He humorously stated that he was “going to cry in the toilet” after witnessing Liverpool’s 2-0 victory against Burnley on Boxing Day.
A goal from Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota secured the win for Liverpool, allowing them to reclaim the lead in the title race. Shortly after their victory, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa after a remarkable comeback from being 2-0 down at half-time. This result worked in Liverpool’s favor, as it prevented Villa from catching up to them in points.
If Arsenal wins their upcoming match against West Ham, they will overtake Liverpool in the standings. However, Patrice Evra acknowledged Liverpool’s strong performance and rated their chances of winning the title highly, despite his allegiance to Manchester United.
