5 things we learned from the Premier League this weekend
West Brom caretaker boss Darren Moore is making a difference despite his side’s relegation fight.
With the title already decided and the FA Cup semi-finals taking centre stage, the focus was largely on the bottom end of the Premier League this weekend.
Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at what we learned from the latest round of fixtures.
1. West Brom are fighting for Darren Moore
When Darren Moore took up the reins at the Hawthorns on April 2 in the wake of Alan Pardew’s departure, he did so with the club hurtling out of the top flight and entrenched in a run of nine successive defeats in all competitions. In the three games they have played since, they are unbeaten, have collected three points from Manchester United at Old Trafford and on Saturday, fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Liverpool to keep their feint survival hopes alive.
2. Stoke might be down already without Jack Butland
3. It all happens around Wilfried Zaha
Wilfried Zaha’s early-season absence through injury was a major blow for Crystal Palace and it is no surprise that their fortunes have improved markedly since his return. He was at the centre of everything as the Eagles drew 0-0 at Watford, and might have earned two penalties and a red card in addition to the yellow he did collect on another day.
