Six premiership matches were played today, and the results were almost alike. Aside from the match between the saints and Pep’s Manchester city team resulting in a draw, all the other matches provided a winner now. It is quite a bit of a shocker to see Manchester City share the spoils with saints but watching the match, few could argue that they deserve more than the one point they got.

Although Manchester City got a goal, it was cancelled for offside as Sterling boots were placed on him on the offside position and the goal was ruled out. The game ended goalless of course and it represents the second game of which Manchester City has failed to score in the 2021/2022 premier league season, the first came against Spurs in the opening game of the season.

The second trend of course is that of the six matches played today, it was only the game between Norwich and Watford that resulted in both teams scoring in the match. Watford second win of the season came at the expense of Norwich city and that sealed their fate of ending this week bottom of the table for the second week running. The win for Watford though shot them up to 10th on the English league table and they would be proud of the job done.

Lastly, the teams got more points today than the teams hosting them. The likes of Brentford, Arsenal and Watford got three points while playing away while Southampton got a point from a free-scoring Manchester City side. It shows that the away side is the better of the teams playing today and just crystal palace was the only away side to completely lose out on all points as they faced Liverpool.

Speaking about the Liverpool versus Crystal palace match which ended in a 3-nil victory for the red’s players create more history. Mane scored his 100th goal for Liverpool and in the process setting a record for the first player to score in nine consecutive games against one team. That’s a remarkable achievement considering the number of greats who have plied their trade in the English league.

Salah continues to be in great form for the red as he scored and created an assist in the process and of course, Keita completed the goal scoring circle for the team. All three Africans who played today all scored for the Liverpool team and shot them up to the first-place position on the English log table.

Also, Arsenal seems to be waking up from their slumber as they managed to achieve a maximum of six points from their last two outings and that seems to be a major turnaround in the team fortune. Having lost their first three premier league games and unable to get a goal in the process, September has been fairer and kinder to the gunners and they could have a shot in raising further up in the league table with their newfound form. Although just like the last match, they won this also with a one-goal victory.
