Frank sacked by Spurs - where does this leave the relegation battle?

It's a midweek Totally Extra and Jimbo is joined by Jay Harris, Carl Anka, Liam Twomey & JJ Bull to discuss the midweek fixtures. David Ornstein broke the news this morning that Spurs have sacked Thomas Frank after 8 months in charge. It was no wins in 8 games in the league for Frank's injury-stricken side and the final straw was another home defeat at the hands of Newcastle, with the familiar boos ringing out at full time. Where did it go wrong for the Dane and who will replace him? Relegation-battling Leeds came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against their long time rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Man Utd were also held by relegation scrapping West Ham to deny Carrick's side 5 wins in a row, with Benjamin Sesko rescuing a point late on. Bournemouth made it 6 games unbeaten beating Everton 2-1 with their impressive new Brazilian winger Rayan scoring again. Plus the latest from Leicester and why not everyone wants Hearts to win the Scottish Premiership. Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard.

Man City stage incredible comeback at Anfield to keep title race alive

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Reuben Pinder for company after an action-packed Matchday 25 in the Premier League. Man City looked to be crashing out of the title race thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s outrageous free-kick. But late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland keep the gap to leaders Arsenal at 6 points. What was going on with City’s disallowed 3rd goal? And what’s going on with Liverpool who stay 6th? Man United make it 4 wins out of 4 under Michael Carrick with a 2-0 win against Spurs, for whom Cristian Romero receives the 6th red card of his Tottenham career. It was a great weekend for West Ham at the bottom who beat Burnley while Nottingham Forest were taken apart at Leeds, halving the gap between Forest and the Hammers. Palmer strikes back with a hat-trick at Molineux, Gyokeres is in the goals against Sunderland and could Brentford or Everton qualify for Europe? And what are flat-tracks and why is it called football?
