On Saturday at 3pm, Manchester United beat Watford 2-0 with Martial impressing by setting up Juan Mata for the first goal of the game and then neatly slotting the ball to the left side of Heurelho Gomes to seal the win for United. United had many chances in the game but poor finishing and strong Watford defending held the scoreline at just two goals.
Also at 3pm, Southampton beat Sunderland 4-0 with Manolo Gabbiadini scoring twice which means that he’s got three goals in his first two starts for the club. The Southampton striker is the Saints’ most expensive signing and he’s repaying his £14m fee already.
The last Premier League game of Saturday was Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Spurs. Mane scored both goals for the Reds and he had a short spell of time where he could’ve got lots more goals. With injuries to Rose and Vertonghen, Spurs had to make do with Dier playing in an unnatural position at centre-back and Davies- an inexperienced player – was left to operate as a left back. Those changes of the team was a major reason of why Spurs lost.
Sunday’s first game saw Burnley shock Chelsea with a 1-1 draw. New clarets signing Robbie Brady scored a fabulous free kick from a long way out to level the scoreline and keep Burnley’s impressive home form going. Chelsea missed out on a chance to go twelve points ahead at the top of the table but are still a decade of points higher than Spurs and Arsenal who are in second and third.
