Newcastle United managed to keep the clean sheet, but their resistance was broken in the second-half of the game. As Liverpool pushed, West Ham capitalised as Diafra Sakho netted a third goal to cap off a famous day for the club.
Only three games into the season and there is only one team left standing with a 100% record. Bakary Sako was particularly inspired putting in a goal and an assist for a 1-2 win. “Maybe this is the first time in my life, but I appreciate this kind of story”.
Every team has one – that one player who just isn’t up to the level of everybody else. They are a good team and didn’t deserve to lose the two matches against Aston Villa and Liverpool.
Swansea City’s Bafetimbi Gomis, he of the wild hair and wilder goal celebration, scored yet again for Swansea City on Sunday.
Jamie Vardy has three goals and an assist in his last five Premier League appearances. Swansea took six points off United last season. It leads the league with 12 points after four games, outscoring its competition, 10-0.
The Malian midfielder grabbed his second goal in consecutive matches as the Eagles stunned Chelsea 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. Below are some of the closing times for the other major leagues. The Blues were strong in the first 45 minutes but that would all change after the interval.
“For us to be sat with four points from four games is not bad”.
Courtois saw a red card and spent one match on the bench, which further amplified their problems and the backup goalie is hardly a worthy replacement.
West Ham took the lead early on as Manuel Lanzini snuck past Joe Gomez at the far post to tap in from close range, before the Hammers pounced on another defensive error as Mark Noble fired home from the edge of the box.
52 – It was 52 years ago when West Ham had last beaten Liverpool at their home fortress of Anfield. Where are ye, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool?
Last season’s top two, Chelsea and Manchester City, are keen to reverse the most striking statistic of the new Premier League season this weekend – and they are not the only ones.
If De Bruyne can bring his form with him that he showed in Germany, City will appear unstoppable.
Watford have won just three of their 40 Premier League away matches (W3 D7 L30). Not a bad statistic to shout about, Pardew’s Palace climbed up to second place behind Manchester City with their second away win of the season. The goalkeeper was not the only one to be eliminated, with veteran John Terry being sent off against West Bromwich.
This was the 3rd quickest that a side has been reduced to 10 men in a single Premier League game (31 mins). Fellaini can also make a return to the first team as his suspension is finally over.
