Manchester United were unable to do much against West Ham United and won 3-0 at their Old Trafford base, but Chelsea’s familiar problems reared their head in a 4-2 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Newcastle United and Luton Town shared eight goals in a hard-fought 4-4 draw, while Brighton & Hove Albion put another nail in Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace coffin with a 4- 1 in the M23 derby.

Here, Sports Mole picks our Premier League team of the week for a record round of heavy-scoring games.
Two clean sheets in matchweek could only go to Manchester United and Aston Villa, but there was really only one contender for the gloves. Mark Flocken defined the brick wall during 45 minutes of Manchester City’s game against Brentford.
He made nine saves in the first half and an incredible 12, while also becoming the first goalkeeper to provide an assist in the current Premier League season. In the eight-goal clash between Newcastle and Luton, both defenders made no secret of their glory in their own penalty area, but Kieran Trippier’s famous attacking qualities sent the ball into the box to right-back Sean Longstaff before slotting past Carlton.
Morris and his team completed the clinic in the third part of the day. Speaking of defenders leaving something to be desired in their own penalty area, Brighton’s Lewis Dunk may have done a better job of consoling Jean-Philippe Mateta at Palace, but the captain’s well-worked header kept the Seagulls on target in the first three. taken as .
A perfect match accuracy of 98% per minute was also recorded. Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite deserves a special mention for Tottenham’s final strike, but with a number of strikers in the XI, Aston Villa’s Alex Moreno sealed the deal by completing the back three for a superb strike.
For Sheffield United, he recorded two tackles, two tackles and both dribble attempts were successful. In the M23 derby, Michael Olise (played at least 81 minutes) and Ebereci Eze scored a steal after Pascal Gross stole players from the Amex Stadium and allowed Dunk to take the money.
From hapless rookie Adam Wharton, who set up Joachim Andersen and fired Facundo Buonanot for his second straight contribution. Both midfield masters made some direct contributions to the spectacular St James’ Park. They included local boy Sean Longstaff, who stepped forward to meet Trippier’s cross later in the afternoon, and Thomas Kaminsky, who blocked Anthony Gordon’s shot.
The danger zone, he went to the right place at the right time and ate scraps. One of Longstaff’s compatriots – who might as well be included in England’s Euro 2024 squad – dominated the North East engine room on Saturday as Ross Barkley’s revival continued with a goal and an assist from former Chelsea player. male.
Barkley first got into the right area to tap home after an Alfie Doughty save and then made the right decision to put Elijah Adebayo on his shirt instead of scoring in the second half. It was one of five chances he created on the day. The tenacious Phil Foden, now officially the top goalscorer in Premier League history for the 23rd game week, finally broke through Fleck’s defense and scored his second career hat-trick.
Manchester City officially lose the title again.While Wolves talisman Mateusz Cunha single-handedly destroyed an expensive Chelsea XI, Foden was one of two players to take the ball under his arm in a goal-laden week. Luck may have played a part in the deflection of his first goal, but there was nothing uncertain about the first of his second goals or the quiet penalty from the clincher.
Cunha became the fourth away player to score in the Premier League. . . Canu, Robin van Persie and Sergio Aguero scored hat-tricks at Stamford Bridge. A hat-trick of a different kind came from Ollie Watkins, who directly blocked three of Villa’s five attempts on target at Bramall Lane.
The Englishman became the first Premier League player to score at least 10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season. He found the far corner under pressure before providing assists for Leon Bailey and Moreno in an attacking masterclass. Richarlison’s effort against Everton, on the other hand, may not have been enough to lead Tottenham to victory, but the red-hot South American showed his former side what they have been missing.
Richarlison first found the top corner with a superb side ball before slotting home from 20 yards. Richarlison has continued his outstanding form, scoring nine goals in his last eight Premier League games, despite looking embarrassed by his performance.
