Liverpool may not have played yesterday, but they came out of it as real winners.
Look, we all knew going into this game that the title race was done, but we were interested, nonetheless, to see if Arsenal could carry their momentum from midweek into the Premier League.
The answer was a resounding no.
From the very start, the Emirates was flat, and that bled into the performance of the Gunners on the pitch.
At the end of it all, Yoane Wissa’s strike 16 minutes from time meant that Mikel Arteta’s side could only claim the solitary point. Their 12th league draw of the season.
Meanwhile, we were treated to a right cracker in Manchester.
With how poor Manchester City have been this season, I thought they were dusted when Crystal Palace race into a 2-0 lead to stun the Etihad.
But they always say, a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead.
As soon as Kevin De Bruyne banged that free-kick in to make a fist of the game, everything changed.
A second goal came, then a third, then a fourth, and so on. It was relentless; arguably, it was the best Pep Guardiola’s side have played all season.
Elsewhere, Everton netted a last-gasp winner to dent Nottingham Forest’s Champions League hopes, Leicester secured a rare point on the road at Brighton, and Aston Villa heaped more misery on Southampton.
I told you it was a mental day, didn’t I? Let’s hope for more of that today.
