English Premier League: A normal Sunday turns into ‘Upset Sunday’

Where to start with the last of Sunday? Winners, losers, West Brom, or Man United… It’s such a tough choice with all these talking points.

I think I’ll start with the losers, because the losers were the home team and monumental favourites before Sunday. Manchester United pulled a massive Liverpool trick to beat City and then suffer to defeat against West Brom directly after.

Safe to say… It happens to the best of us? Yeah I guess that’s a rhyme many will be using now – seeing the shoe’s on the other foot. Man United have certainly proved their superiority over the top-six no question. Yet, it it’s the so-called ‘lesser’ teams doing the damage to the Old Trafford outfit.

Although having lost to West Brom over the weekend, Jose did enough to keep out of reach from the next club looking for second place. It’s a slender lead with a game in hand to help the fight to end in second place.

Jose must hope his United side don’t fall off the rails, after a less than convincing campaign and like others, try to end on a positive note. This weekend’s semifinal is a good time to bounce back.

Looking at the stars who stole the show and the result, West Brom. Led by caretaker-manager, Darren Moore, one outstanding discipline shown by the Baggies between 90 minutes. From the goalkeeper to the frontline – everybody put in a massive shift to get a result.

A little too late I suppose to change their fate and inevitably drop, but hope still hovers for the slightest chance of change. Sitting last, relying on other events to go in their favour in a space of four fixtures doesn’t set a nice tone for the end of their campaign.

If pride is what they playing for, then pride is what they received after such a great result in  ‘Upset Sunday’.
