Wednesday Recap

As Fox Soccer noted, Leiceister were the real winners Wednesday:

Tottenham finished with 65 percent possession against West Ham but registered fewer shots (14-9) and fewer shots on target (3-2) than their opponents. Spurs struggled mightily in the final third, failing to register a shot on goal through the first half for the first time since 2004, per OptaJoe.

While Tottenham's loss came as a bit of a surprise, few envisioned Arsenal losing at home to a Swansea City squad still in a relegation fight. Wayne Routledge equalized for the Swans in the 32nd minute, canceling out Joel Campbell's 15th-minute goal, and Ashley Williams scored the winner in the 74th minute, via NBC Sports Soccer:

It's the first time the Gunners have lost three matches in a row in all competitions since April 2010, per OptaJoe. According to Eurosport's Tom Adams, Arsenal supporters began leaving the ground following Williams' goal. KICKTV summed up the general mood inside the Emirates Stadium:

Adams provided manager Arsene Wenger's reaction after the match:

"

Wenger calls it an "unlucky defeat... a very disappointing result"

— Tom Adams (@tomEurosport) March 2, 2016"

"

Wenger: "We have just lost three games and always that is a difficult moment for the team."

— Tom Adams (@tomEurosport) March 2, 2016"

The Gunners have seemingly made an annual tradition of challenging for the title and looking like they might win, only to completely fall apart in the spring. If it happened once or twice, you could chalk it up to bad luck. However, something is structurally wrong at Arsenal—be it with the manager or the boardroom—given how frequent the club's second-half swoon has become.

Arsenal aren't yet out of the title race, but they could fall nine points behind Leicester by the end of Matchday 29. They face off with Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Saturday, while the league leaders have a winnable game with Watford.

Both Arsenal's and Manchester City's title hopes are quickly fading, and for the Gunners, getting a positive result against Spurs will be critical.

After losing to Manchester City on penalties in the League Cup final Sunday, Liverpool gained a measure of revenge Wednesday. Adam Lallana gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute, and former City midfielder James Milner scored in the 41st minute against his old club. Bleacher Report UK thought Milner had a somewhat odd goal celebration:

Roberto Firmino capped off the scoring with a goal in the 57th minute to complete the 3-0 win.

The Reds are now just six points off City for fourth place in the league table. Liverpool still have a mathematical chance of securing Champions League qualification, but they still need to leapfrog Manchester United, Stoke City and West Ham in addition to Manchester City in order to get there.

Keeping that in mind, a top-six finish would be a nice way for Jurgen Klopp to cap off his first season in charge of the club.

Manchester City, meanwhile, could be under serious threat of falling out of the top four. The club has lost its last three games, collecting three points since Pep Guardiola was confirmed to be succeeding manager Manuel Pellegrini at the end of the season.

Tim Burgess, lead singer of The Charlatans, joked Pellegrini has firmly embraced his lame-duck status:

Since Guardiola's appointment, City did beat Dynamo Kyiv in their round-of-16 first-leg match and won the League Cup. Still, West Ham and Manchester United are well within striking distance, so Manchester City can ill afford to slip up too many more times between now and the end of the season.
