Leicester City vs Wolves broke off with a 1:0 scoreline, Jamie Vardy is that player that has got so many penalties so far this premier league season with 6 and scoring 5 after Patricio saving 1 in this game. The fact that Wolves gave away 2 penalties in the first half shows just unprepared they were for the match and they didn't take time to understand Leicester's tactics but you would expect a better reaction from them in the second half. Wolves is a really strong and competitive, they started off strong in this particular game until they started making mistakes and getting frustrated with themselves which would automatically kill the, pressing, positivity and slow the progress.
Wolves played a good game in second half but they still didn't have any goal luck, wasted a lot of chances and couldn't hold onto the ball. 18 points in 8 games, 6 wins and 2 loses after beating Wolves in this match and that has helped Leicester book a perfect spot on the premiere league table.
Manchester City vs Liverpool
Manchester City not leading the first half was one of the most unfortunate things about this match, most times football competitions especially in the English Premier league you have to make use of every opportunity you grabbed and any bit of carelessness will somehow affect the final results. Kevin De Bruyne played really good in first half, his creativity and assists were top notch but missing a penalty was unexpected. It seemed like he didn't put his attention and full focus into it that's exactly why it was off target. Manchester City seems to continue feeling the absence of Sagio Aguero because I'm sure if he was on pitch he would have been the one to take that penalty.
After full time, the effect of Kevin De Bruyne missing that penalty is felt by Manchester City because that was just enough for the club to take three points. Liverpool lost quite a number of chances too and it was basically because of the strong defence and selfishness of some players. Liverpool has so many players that don't want to pass the ball when an opportunity appears they want to take it upon themselves even when the best option is passing the ball.
