Liverpool top the Premier League as Man City slip up at Chelsea
Liverpool will end the weekend top of the Premier League after Man City’s unbeaten run was broken with a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on Saturday. The Reds played their part with a 4-0 thrashing of Bournemouth earlier in the afternoon, with Mohamed Salah’s hat-trick and Steve Cook’s own goal earning three points at Dean Court. This saw Jurgen Klopp’s side move a point above City, and put pressure on the champions to get a result against fellow ‘big six’ side Chelsea. Pep Guardiola opted against fielding a striker at Stamford Bridge, as did Maurizio Sarri, but this did not see a decline in quality up front, and particularly for the visitors who had 14 shots on goal. But the Blues made their home advantage count as they soaked up City’s attacks and eventually sprang to take the lead on the cusp of half-time through N’Golo Kante.
