Another thrilling weekend of action has now come to a close with some incredible results across England, proving the Premier League really is the gift that keeps on giving.
From Arsenal turning things around mightily late against AFC Bournemouth in a 3-2 victory, to Brighton & Hove Albion dispatching a bottom-three-threatened West Ham United side 4-0, it was a brilliant couple of days for home teams.
West Midlands sides Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers both enjoyed 1-0 wins to add some vital points on the board, whereas Manchester City beat Newcastle United by two goals to nil.
Meanwhile, Southampton managed a narrow 1-0 win over Leicester City to boost their survival hopes and Chelsea put an end to their awful run as they beat Leeds United, also 1-0. Nottingham Forest held fellow relegation battlers Everton to an exciting 2-2 draw.
No result was greater, however, than Liverpool’s remarkable 7-0 thrashing over bitter rivals Manchester United. Going into the break 1-0 up, nobody in the world could have possibly imagined six more to be added to the tally in the second half – but the floodgates well and truly opened.
