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.

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)

Then Burnley got a penalty  Although the referee John Brooks managed to miss the foul in real time, unlike against Wolves the video assistant referee, Peter Bankes, stepped in. Substitute Amdouni managed to send the keeper the wrong way and earn Burnley this point  This result moved Burnley to within two points of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, whom they play at Turf Moor on the final day of the season.  There could still be a dramatic fight for survival with Burnley, Luton and Forest all scrambling to avoid relegation to the Championship.  You can watch the highlights of the match in the video below.
