Saturday’s Round-Up
Sadio Mane scored twice and Mohamed Salah grabbed the other as Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table. Jetro Willems gave Newcastle the lead with a stunning effort after just 7 minutes, but Liverpool eventually fought back to register a comfortable 3-1 victory.
Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game as his eighth-minute penalty was enough to see off Leicester at Old Trafford. The Foxes bossed possession but failed to make their dominance count.
Billy Sharp was sent off for Sheff Utd as the hosts lost 1-0 to Southampton. Despite having 17 shots, the Blades managed just 4 on target, and Moussa Djenepo scored just after the hour mark to give Saints the win.
Brighton must have thought they were heading for a well-earned home victory over Burnley. However, a spectacular injury-time strike from Jeff Hendrick canceled out Neal Maupay’s goal to rescue a point for the visitors.
Tammy Abraham scored a hat-trick and an own goal as Chelsea thrashed Wolves 5-2 at Molineux. Fikayo Tomori opened the scoring with a phenomenal effort and Mason Mount also got on the scoresheet late on.
Tottenham scored all their goals in the first-half against Crystal Palace as Son Heung-min's brace was accompanied by goals from Erik Lamela and Patrick van Aanholt (OG).
In Satruday’s late kick-off, Norwich caused one of the greatest ever Premier League upsets. Despite having just 31% possession, goals from Kenny McLean, Todd Cantwell, and Teemu Pukki gave the Canaries a famous 3-2 over Man City at Carrow Road.
Super Sunday
A Callum Wilson brace helped Bournemouth beat Everton 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium. Dominic Calvert-Lewin had leveled for the Toffees, but Ryan Fraser punished Everton for some poor defending.
Speaking of poor defending, Arsenal let a 2-0 lead slip to draw 2-2 with Watford at Vicarage Road. 2 first-half goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave the Gunners a seemingly comfortable advantage at half-time, but after registering 31 shots, Watford secured a point, and had chances to win the match.
