PL reaction: Spurs boost Champions League hopes

-

 Tottenham Hotspur 2 - 0  Chelsea

Tottenham boosted their hopes of a top-four Premier League finish with a London derby win over Chelsea. This increased the pressure on Graham Potter.

Oliver Skipp's 20-yard effort just after the interval put the hosts in command. The victory was sealed when Harry Kane turned home Eric Dier's knock-down late on.

Let's explore all of the best reaction from fans

Amy, a Chelsea fan, told us: "Another poor performance. I don't want Potter to be sacked, but I fear it's going that way."

Greg, a Spurs fan, was very happy with the result and performance. He said: "That could be a very important win for us. "

Crees commented on YouTube: "Richarlison has been really crucial for me. He might not get a goal or assist, but he is always in the right position. He helped Skippy and also almost put Hojberg in. If we do go to a 4231 with a future manager, he could play anywhere in the front."

Jacob Huggins commented on YouTube: "I support my club no matter what, but right now I just don't understand."

What did the players and the manager say?

Chelsea boss Graham Potter told the media: “It was a tight game. It was even in the first half. We were probably the better team for the first 20 minutes and then they came into it. Overall we were happy enough with our performance, and then the start of the second half made it really difficult for us. Once you are one-nil down they can defend a little bit deeper and with more numbers and play on the counter. We huffed and puffed without doing enough to score but overall it is a disappointing loss for us."

The Spurs keeper Fraser Forster gave his thoughts after the match:

Emerson Royal was also happy with the result and his own performance. Just check out his reaction after the match.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
