DANNY MURPHY: Man City's dramatic defeat against Tottenham underlines why the Premier League title isn't handed out in February... both Pep Guardiola's side and Liverpool would be worthy champions this season and their battle will go right down to the wir

I received a bit of stick when I said last week that the title race wasn’t over. Some felt it was the Liverpool fan in me.

But Saturday’s swing underlines why you can’t hand out the Premier League prizes in January or February. Nobody carries on winning every week through a season. Only after 38 games do you get the proper perspective.

The truth is Manchester City and Liverpool are closely matched so a one-club procession was never on the cards. City have fantastic creators, Liverpool consistent goalscorers in Mo Salah and Diogo Jota.
