Liverpool top the table!
The Reds’ best start to the season since the 1995/96 season saw them defeat Manchester
United on Sunday, 1-0, thanks to yet another Daniel Sturridge goal. The
England man has scored the winning goal for Liverpool in each of the opening
three games, and the Anfield outfit are yet to concede in what is now the only
remaining 100% record in the English top flight.
Elsewhere, Man City were back
to winning ways against newly promoted Hull City, but were made to fight for the
points after Steve Bruce’s side put up a valiant display of unforeseen attacking
venture, and came close to inflicting a shock defeat on Manuel Pellegrini’s
men.
Chelsea were out of action
this weekend after taking part in the European Super Cup in Prague on Friday.
Their defeat to Bayern Munich on penalties came after a highly entertaining
game, where the Blues came from within seconds of triumphing over the reigning
European Champions, only for midfielder Javi Martinez to snatch a wicked
equaliser. It was the goal that sent the game to penalties, which was ultimately
a step too far for Mourinho’s men.
Arsenal vs. Tottenham was
the second of the big-name matchups this weekend, with the Gunners continuing
their fine record against their fierce rivals with a hard fought 1-0 win on
Sunday. Olivier Giroud, like Liverpool’s Sturridge, continued his rich vein of
form, with his third goal in three games for the club.
