EPL week 35 review: Champions League football is in Liverpool’s hands

Week 35 of the English Premier League sees Liverpool wrest control of Champions League qualification after a moment of magic in an otherwise dreary affair at Vicarage Road.

Liverpool was in a great position to pull away in the race for the Champions League after both Manchester clubs and Arsenal dropped points on the weekend.

Watford stood in their way; not exactly a frightening prospect. The Hornets hit the magic 40 point mark a few games ago and turned up in the next match against Hull so relaxed their captain Troy Deeney told the press they had no balls.

There were more balls on Monday night, but nothing would have stopped the moment of magic that sealed the win for Liverpool, and now means, if they win their last three remaining matches they will qualify for the Champions League.
