Bruno Fernandes scored twice to help Manchester United to a dominant first-leg victory at ten-man Athletic Club.
Manchester United earned an emphatic victory away against the ten men of Athletic Club in Bilbao, leaving them well-placed to seal a UEFA Europa League final place at Old Trafford next Thursday.
Needing just a point from today’s clash against Tottenham to win the domestic championship for the 20th time in their history, Liverpool thumped Ange Postecoglou’s team 5-1 at Anfield.
Spurs briefly threatened to poop Liverpool’s title party when the North Londoners took a surprise early lead. With 12 minutes on the clock, Dominic Solanke - a former Liverpool player - headed home from a corner.
However, the Merseysiders turned the scoreboard on its head inside a quarter of an hour, thanks to goals by Luis Díaz and Alexis Mac Allister.
Cody Gakpo then added a third before the break, before Mohamed Salah’s 28th goal of the Premier League season made it four just after the hour mark. Liverpool’s fifth arrived when Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie turned into his own net with 20 minutes remaining.
