Premier League – Historic 7-2 – Villa dismantled champions Liverpool – Sport

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp lived through a black Sunday night. At Aston Villa, which lost relegation in the preseason, the champions lost 7-2 without Xherdan Shaqiri, who was about to take off. The man of the game for the Birmingham club was Ollie Watkins, signed by second division Brentford, with three goals in the first half. There is a historical component in the defeat of the “reds”. The last time Liverpool conceded seven goals was 57 years ago. At the same time, it was the biggest defeat in the club’s history in a Premier League match.

Son and Kane take down ManUnited

Manchester United also suffered a historic defeat with a 6-1 draw at Tottenham Hotspur. At Tottenham, Harry Kane and Heung-min Son excelled as double-goal scorers. Manchester forward Anthony Martial was sent off the pitch in the 28th minute for being violated with red. The Red Devils had previously only conceded 6 goals in a Premier League match against Southampton FC in 1996 and against city rivals Manchester City in 2011.

First defeat of the season for Leicester City

A week after the 5-2 win at Manchester City, Leicester City suffer their first setback. The 2016 champions lose a Premier League game for the first time this season, and that surprisingly at home against West Ham. The Londoners appropriated the points in an absolutely deserved way. Michail Antonio took the lead after 14 minutes. Pablo Fornals (34th minute) and Jarrod Bowen (83rd minute) made West Ham’s away win perfect.

Arsenal beat Sheffield United

Without substitute Granit Xhaka in the final stages, Arsenal played harmless and awkward for an hour in the home game against Sheffield United. Then Mikel Arteta switched to offensive player Nicolas Pépé and with him the 2-1 victory. The 25-year-old outside attacker arrived in the 58th minute when the score was 0-0. 6 minutes later it was 2-0. David McGoldrick’s goal 7 minutes before the end came too late in the end.
