Manchester United dug out a hard fought
victory over The Saints, and Liverpool saw out Leicester, albeit in uncomfortable
circumstances. On Monday night, Arsenal got the job done over West Bromwich. Here
are the 5 talking points to note from the matches:
Alvaro Morata outshines EPL’s elites: the summer recruit
from Real Madrid put in a remarkable performance at the Bet 365 Stadium as the
reigning champions put 4 goals past Stoke City. The Spanish forward was in
tantalising form on Saturday afternoon as he scored a brilliant hatrick. In a week
that Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku, Alex Lacazette, Chicarito, Jamie Vardy and
Sergio Aguero were all on the score sheet, the Chelsea attacker stood tall.
5 star City plants more misery on sorry Crystal Palace:
Palace’s season is not getting any better: the dismissal of Frank de Boer has
not in any way changed their cause for the better. Guardiola’s side was at
their ruthless best as the destroyed Palace 5 goals to 0. Palace still await
their first league point and goal of the season.
Coutinho magic propels Liverpool: Philippe Coutinho stuck an
amazing free kick in the 23rd minute at the King Power Stadium as
the Reds edged out Leicester in a blockbuster game. Liverpool’s defensive
issues continued, as they would have twice blown a 2 goal lead in the encounter
but for Simon Mignolet’s save on Vardy.
Gareth Barry the history maker: on Monday night against
Arsenal, West Bromwich midfielder Gareth Barry became a Premier League
record-breaker when he made his 633rd appearance in the competition
to become the league’s all-time highest appearance maker, overcoming Manchester
United great, Ryan Giggs.

Mourinho goes unscathed: Manchester United manager Jose
Mourinho was sent to the stand in the dying embers of his side’s hard fought
1-0 win over Southampton at the St. Marys. However, this week has been a lucky
day for the enigmatic Portuguese trainer as he was spared disciplinary action
by the Football Association.
