Another week of Premier League football with some crazy goals and scorelines on Matchday 5.
Liverpool hosted Newcastle United at Anfield and it was the visitors who drew first blood in the opening 10 minutes. Two goals from Mane and one from Salah secured maximum points for the Reds as they came from behind to beat the Toon Army by three goals to one.
After their disappointing draw with Sheffield United just before the international break, Chelsea head to Molineux to face Wolves in a match that was titled the big game of the weekend. Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori opened the scoring with a screamer from 25-year with teammate Tammy Abraham stealing the headlines again with his hat-trick as the Blues beat Wolves 5-2.
Manchester United also managed to beat Leicester City at Old Trafford thanks to a Rashford penalty in the first half.
The shocker of the weekend was at Norwich where reigning champions Man City were stunned in a 5-goal thriller. Pep’s side were missing key defender Alymeric Laporte who will be out till February but that was no excuse as City lost 3-2 to Norwich City as goals from Sergio Aguero and Rodri were not enough in the late kick off on Saturday.
Arsenal also threw away a two goal lead as they were held in a 2-2 draw at Vicarage Road by Watford.
