Here’s the roundup of today’s English Premier League action…
Arsenal 1 – 0 Huddersfield Town
Arsenal edged past a stubborn Huddersfield side at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, as Lucas Torreira’s late moment of magic won the game 1-0 for the Gunners.
After Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette missed chances in the first half, Torreira scored a sensational bicycle kick to grab the win as they extend their unbeaten run to 21 which began in August.
With the victory Arsenal move on to 34 points, while Huddersfield remain on 10 points.
Bournemouth 0 – 4 Liverpool
Liverpool remain unbeaten after 16 games of the season and beat Bournemouth 4-0 at the Vitality, with Mohamed Salah back to his clinical best after a midweek rest.
Jurgen Klopp reverted to his strongest possible lineup for the tricky test away at Bournemouth and Salah struck in the first half (although he was offside) and added two more in the second half as Roberto Firmino assisted on two of them.
Salah’s hat trick secured Liverpool’s best-ever start to a top-flight campaign at this point of a season.
Bournemouth’s Steve Cook also scored an amazing own goal, as the Cherries were totally outclassed despite a few calls for penalty kicks in the second half.
With the win Liverpool went top of the table on 42 points, while Bournemouth remain on 23 points.
Chelsea 2 – 0 Manchester City
Manchester City’s unbeaten English Premier League season and 21-match unbeaten league run is over following a 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
N’Golo Kante and David Luiz scored goals to move Chelsea fourth on the table with 34 points.
Liverpool is the new English Premier League leader, a point clear of City.
Manchester United 4 – 1 Fulham
Manchester United, and Old Trafford specifically, needed this.
Four different Red Devils hit the score sheet as Manchester United beat Fulham 4-1 at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata, Romelu Lukaku, and Ashley Young all scored for United, who moves sixth with 26 points.
Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa was sent off for Fulham, while Aboubakar Kamara won and scored a penalty for the Cottagers.
Fulham remains 20th with nine points and now has a league-worst minus-24 goal differential.
Leicester City 0 – 2 Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur managed to grind out a straightforward 2-0 victory away to Leicester City with Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen on the bench for 72 and 66 of 90 minutes, respectively.
Son Heung-min and Dele Alli did all the damage and bagged a goal apiece in an otherwise uneventful affair at the King Power Stadium.
The result sees Spurs on 36 points move third place, while Leicester (22) remain ninth in the EPL table.
