Premier League Results: Latest Table, Title Odds After Sunday's Week 31 Scores

James DudkoMar 20, 2016

Tottenham Hotspur's odds to win this season's Premier League title shortened after Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen led a 3-0 demolition of Bournemouth at White Hart Lane on Sunday. Spurs are now 11-4 to lift the title ahead of leaders Leicester City and third-placed Arsenal.

Manchester City are now a real long shot after stumbling to a 1-0 defeat against neighbours United at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens are now 100-1 for the title.

Worst still, United are just one point behind their local enemy in the race for the fourth and final qualification spot for next season's UEFA Champions League.

Unlike United, Liverpool lost ground in their bid to finish in the European places after blowing a two-goal lead in Southampton. The Reds went two up in just over 20 minutes, but a second-half onslaught from the Saints, featuring a brace from Sadio Mane, negated that.

Odds Shortening: Tottenham Hotspur

It took Kane less than one minute to undermine the Bournemouth defence. Soon enough, he'd bagged a brace and put the result beyond doubt.

BBC Sport detailed how quickly Kane struck first:

That opening goal also helped shatter a weak myth that had existed about Tottenham's prolific No. 10 headed into this season, per Squawka:

In all fairness, though, it's sometimes easy to understand why Kane has his doubters. When watching him, it's difficult to know quite how he scores so often.

This isn't a striker blessed with lightning pace or awesome physical strength. Instead, Kane comes alive whenever he gets a chance.

Whatever the opportunity demands, be it a low shot into the bottom corner, a downward header, a powerful drive from distance or a deft touch in the box, Kane guesses right every time.

He's an attacker with a natural eye for goal playing in a team that is intelligently geared to help him thrive. The combination has Spurs as a strong bet for the title.

Leicester keep on winning, but the Foxes have looked nervy during recent matches. By contrast, there's a more assured professionalism about Spurs' recent performances.

Odds Drifting: Manchester City

Manchester United's teenage attacker Marcus Rashford helped himself to a moment of history in the Manchester derby by netting the decisive goal. Squawka put the achievement into context:

Rashford and fellow attackers Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard gave City's injury-hit defence fits all afternoon. With Eliaquim Mangala and Martin Demichelis replacing skipper Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi, City lacked the pace and guile to track United's fluid front three.

The Citizens' injury woes got worse when winger Raheem Sterling and goalkeeper Joe Hart went off.

Still, City pressed hard late on, but the isolation of striker Sergio Aguero exposed their limitations in attacking areas. Such fundamental problems at both the front and the back are why City have failed to score and have taken just one point from their last three league games.

But three vital points have helped maintain United's record against the traditional Big Six of the Premier League, according to Squawka:

That's a welcome boost for under-fire United manager Louis van Gaal.

By contrast, the same source has noted how dire City's form has been since the team announced Pep Guardiola as Manuel Pellegrini's successor next season:

That sort of run makes them the longest of long shots to win a third Premier League crown.
