Liverpool continue. Opposed to Brighton during this 8th day of the Premier League, the Reds confirmed their good momentum after their victory against Villarreal in the Champions League this week. After opening the scoring following an error by Gross, the Liverpool men made the break thanks to Isak, served by Barcola, who broke away to recover the ball (2-0, 21st). This victory allows Iraola’s men to move up to 4th place, before hosting Arsenal on the next day. For their part, the Seagulls, 3rd, will face Manchester City. At the same time, Manchester United completely foundered at Old Trafford. Manhandled by Bournemouth, the Red Devils ended up cracking after an error from Yoro, which allowed their opponents to make the break (2-0, 43rd).
At the end of the match, Evanilson took advantage of a big error from Lammens to seal the victory for the visitors (3-0, 71st). Now 16th, the Red Devils are at their worst before facing Chelsea, a meeting which could take place without Michael Carrick. Another coach in great danger, Pierre Sage did not improve his record after another heavy defeat for Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, this time against Newcastle. Osula and Barnes have helped the Magpies climb to 7th place, while the Eagles are just one point clear of the relegation zone ahead of their trip to Tottenham. Finally, Brentford (6th) went for a draw on the pitch of Hull City (10th).
