Twitter Reacts to a Super Sunday for the Chasing Pack as Kane and Aguero Throw Down the Gauntlet

Published on: 04 March 2017

Another day, another match-winning Harry Kane performance. Tottenham's chief goal-provider was once again in obliging form as his two strikes helped Mauricio Pochettino's team beat Everton 3-2 and narrow the gap on Chelsea at the top to seven points.


Kane scored a stunning long-ranged effort to open the scoring before doubling Spurs' lead on 56 minutes with another clinical finish. Romelu Lukaku ensured a nervy end to the game when he made it 2-1, but Dele Alli made sure of the result when he converted Spurs' third. Enner Valencia scored a consolation goal right at the death.


Most of the Twitter talk focused on Kane continuing his blistering run of form and definitively crushing bemusing talk surrounding him that he's a 'one season wonder', while others offered withering criticism of Ronald Koeman's tactics.

@RonaldKoeman 2 nil down because of you. Wrong team selection, wrong times for the subs. 3-2 flattered us


62 mins to make a change to this line up and formation. Absolute joke - @RonaldKoeman


Very poor from Everton and 3-2 flattered them. Lots of poor performances too many to mention. But none worse than Ronald Koeman.

Meanwhile, Manchester City made relatively light work of bottom sideSunderland at the Stadium of Light.


Although the Black Cats defended with spirit in the first-half, they were undone by a couple of moments of quality, first from Sergio Aguero as he scored the opener and then from Leroy Sane, who raced in behind the defence and finished with aplomb to put the match beyond David Moyes's side.


Sunderland are now six points from safety. It's looking pretty bleak for the master escapologists, who look like they'll finally drop out of the top-tier this season.

0-2

Sunderland fans are streaming out of the ground.

Would be great if we can relegate David Moyes and Sunderland when we go there next month.They can Poznan themselves off to the Championship.


Sunderland fans streaming for the exits. £90m worth of talent has just opened up Darron Gibson and John O'Shea. What did they expect?

why do sunderland fans always leave 30-45 mins early? they realise they've paid for the full game right?

Sunderland's relegation will be a blessing. Shame it's got to this point but for far too long they've been an irrelevance nobody will miss.

Sergio Aguero has the best minutes to goals ratio in Premier League history but has never made it into the PFA Team of the Year... pic.twitter.com/Dkr0fArANb

Yet another defeat for David Moyes. pic.twitter.com/X9R7jMuLLp

'How does David Moyes react?'

He's got Everton reserves players on the pitch and Rodwell on the bench. So probably by doing f*ck all.
