Tottenham are within touching distance of qualifying for the Europa League after moving above Liverpool with a 2-0 win at Anfield yesterday.
It was meant to be a day of celebration for the Reds after Kenny Dalglish on Thursday signed a new three-year deal to become permanent manager of Liverpool for the second time. But Tottenham didn't read the script with goals in either half from Rafael Van der Vaart and a controversial Luka Modric penalty sealing a win that took them back into fifth spot.
Meanwhile, West Ham United were relegated from the Premier League at the DW Stadium as they squandered a two-goal lead to allow Wigan Athletic to pull off an incredible 3-2 victory. Avram Grant's side needed a victory if they were to stand any mathematical chance of avoiding the drop.
