LIVERPOOL FC INCHES CLOSER TO FIRST PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE IN 24 YEARS

      My favourite football club,Liverpool FC took another giant stride towards their first Premier League title since 1990 by recording a 3-2 victory over the hard-fighting Norwich City FC on Sunday afternoon. A brace from Sterling and a goal from the unstoppable Suarez humbled the home team.
    The seemingly unstoppable Liverpool FC was apparently motivated to victory by their closest rival, Chelsea FC's loss to relegation-threatened Sunderland FC at Stamford Bridge the previous day. With the victory,Liverpool FC is now 5 points clear on top of the Barclays Premier League,with 3 games to go.
   OOB wishes the team the best of luck in their next 3 games against Chelsea FC, Crystal Palace and Newcastle.
