TOP OF THE TABLE CHANGES HANDS: Liverpool dethrones Man City as 4 giants engage in an exciting battle in the 6th round

Round 6 witnessed the commendable bravery of big names like Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. This is the round that marked the change of ownership at the top of the table.

Exciting four-horse race

Round 6 of the Premier League witnessed Man City’s misery. The defending champion, after losing Rodri for the entire season due to injury, could not defeat Newcastle on their opponent’s field. Two consecutive draws against Arsenal and Newcastle with the same score of 1-1 caused “Man City” to lose the top spot.

Cole Palmer’s performance was so impressive that he received a perfect score of 10 from statistics site Whoscored. The key factor of Chelsea scored 4 goals in different ways, from close-range tap-ins, penalty kicks, free-kicks and decisive kicks.

This is the third time Palmer has scored three or more goals in a single game for Chelsea. Thanks to that, the young star joins three other legends of the West London team: Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink.

On the other hand, Bruno Fernandes and MU were the most disappointing in round 6 of the Premier League. In the highlight match of the round, the “Red Devils” lost 0-3 to Tottenham, and Bruno Fernandes personally received a direct red card in the 42nd minute. With the loss of their captain in the next 3 matches, MU could play even worse.
