TOP SPOT SHIFTS: Liverpool overtakes Man City as four giants clash in an exciting contest in Round 6

Round 6 showcased the remarkable resilience of giants like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea. It was a pivotal week that saw a shift at the top of the table.

Thrilling four-way battle

Round 6 of the Premier League brought misery for Manchester City. The reigning champions, already struggling after losing Rodri to a season-ending injury, failed to secure a win against Newcastle away from home. Two consecutive 1-1 draws against Arsenal and Newcastle cost “Man City” their place at the top of the standings.

Cole Palmer delivered an outstanding performance, earning a perfect 10 rating from Whoscored. The Chelsea star showcased his versatility by scoring four goals in different manners—tap-ins, penalties, free-kicks, and clinical finishes.

This marked the third time Palmer has scored three or more goals in a single match for Chelsea. His remarkable achievement places him alongside club legends Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes and Manchester United were the biggest disappointments of Round 6. In the highly anticipated clash, the “Red Devils” were humbled 0-3 by Tottenham, with Bruno receiving a straight red card in the 42nd minute. With their captain suspended for the next three games, Manchester United’s struggles may worsen.
