Round 4 Review: Reds Secure Late Win to Lead Table, Blues Disappoint with Draw

In Round 4 of the 2021 Premier League season, both teams were expected to give it their best effort as they sought to secure their place in the top four.

For Liverpool, who had already secured their spot in the top four last week, there was no pressure on them and they looked comfortable in front of their home crowd at Anfield. The Reds had a strong start to the game, taking control of the midfield and creating several chances for themselves.

However, in the second half, Manchester United came out stronger and created several opportunities of their own. Despite being a team that has struggled against Liverpool in recent years, United showed great resilience and fought back to level the scoreline.

Despite this, Liverpool's dominance was too much for Manchester United to handle and they were able to hold on for a late win, securing their place in the top four and leaving Manchester United in fifth place.

Meanwhile, for West Ham United, who were looking to move up the table after a poor start to the season, things did not go according to plan. They went into the match knowing that a victory would help them climb up the table but ended up drawing 1-1 with Crystal Palace.

The draw meant that West Ham United remained in tenth place, but it was a step forward from where they started the season. However, they will need to improve if they want to challenge for a top-four finish.

Overall, Round 4 of the Premier League saw some exciting games and plenty of action as teams battled it out for their places in the top four. It remains to be seen how these results will impact the standings heading into the next round of fixtures.
