Everything That Happened In Matchweek 13.

This breathtaking match week has taken Liverpool to the top of the table with an outstanding win against defending Champions, Manchester City. Their lead increased by nine points as they added one more streak to City’s 6-game winless run.

Southampton’s draw against Brighton and Hove Albion wasn’t enough to see them through the relegation zone. Fabian Hurzeler’s side took the lead on Friday with a 22nd-minute goal from Kaoru Mitoma but was later equalised by Flynn Downes. Dramatically, the Saints thought they had taken the lead with an effort from Cameron Archer but were unfortunately ruled offside.

 

Brentford continues their incredible home form by beating Leicester City 4 goals to 1. Leicester had taken a lead through Facundo Buonanotte’s fourth league goal of the season, but Yoane Wissa quickly equalised before Schade hit three.

 

The story was different at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace continued with their tie form as they finished with a 1-1 draw. The Eagles’ tally of nine points from the opening 13 matches still represents their worst start to a Premier League season for six years.

 

The Chris Wood show continues at City Ground with Nottingham Forest defeating Ipswich Town a goal to nil. With his penalty in the 49th minute, he now shares the lead with 24 goals in Nottingham Forest’s Premier League history. He is one of the two players to be the top scorers for two different Premier League clubs. Ipswich struggles at the relegation zone of the table.

 

At Bournemouth, Justin Kluivert makes history by being the first Premier League player to score a hat trick of penalties. Mattheus Cunha, however, was unable to save Wolves as usual with his previous superhero performances.

 

All seven goals came before halftime, making the first half at the London Stadium a case of blink and you’ll miss it. It was only the fourth Premier League game in which so many goals were scored before halftime. The first half of Arsenal vs. West Ham was indeed a thriller.

 

Enzo Maresca’s side has proven that a title charge is not a bad idea in spite of the manager asserting in a press conference last week that winning the title isn’t part of Chelsea’s to-do list. The Blues’s winning streak in the Premier League reached five games at Stamford Bridge, while Aston Villa’s winless run reached eight games in all competitions.

 

All of the goals in Amorim’s first Premier League victory came from two sources that would have seemed highly unlikely just a couple of weeks ago. Marcus Rashford scored twice to take his Premier League tally under Amorim to three— as many as he managed in his previous 23 appearances. Amorim also handed a rare start to Joshua Zirkzee, who also repaid the head coach’s faith with two goals. Everton lost to United yet again at Old Trafford.

 

Tottenham Hotspur held a 1-1 draw with Fulham even after thrashing City last match day. They took the lead soon after half-time through Brennan Johnson’s sixth league goal of the season, but Fulham’s equaliser was reward for their multiple chances.
