EPL Results: Saturday's Week 10 Scores, Updated 2016 Premier League Table

Liverpool only trail leaders Manchester City and second-placed Arsenal on goal difference after the Premier League's top three all won on Saturday. Every member of the trio earned their points by scoring four goals away from home.

City put West Bromwich Albion to the sword at the Hawthorns to snap a six-match run without a win in all competitions. The win was bookended by Arsenal hitting bottom-of-the-table Sunderland for four at the Stadium of Light, before Liverpool capped the day's fixtures by winning 4-2 and leaving Crystal Palace disappointed at Selhurst Park.

Free-Scoring Top Three All Win

City manager Pep Guardiola's table-toppers were inspired by a splendid display from striker Sergio Aguero. The prolific Argentinian bagged a brace and played his part in helping midfield man Ilkay Gundogan do the same.

Gundogan, a big-money summer import from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, was also superb on the day. In general, though, City set the tone for ending their barren spell by quickly tearing through the Baggies with a potent mix of artful passing and intelligent movement.

This graphic from BBC Match of the Day showed how much Guardiola's men were on the front foot:

They've stumbled recently, but the Citizens offered an ample reminder of their title credentials this week.

The Gunners managed the same trick earlier in the day, when Alexis Sanchez led a rout of Sunderland. He scored Arsenal's first after darting between two defenders to meet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross with a pinpoint, thumping header.

It was a proper centre-forward's goal from a player still making the transition from playing on the flanks to operating through the middle.

The move before the finish also showcased the best of the possession-based philosophy manager Arsene Wenger has preached for two decades with the Gunners:

Arsenal coasted after Sanchez's opener—maybe too much. Some slack finishing and a sluggish start to the second half was punished when Laurent Koscielny gave away a penalty following a defensive blunder by fellow centre-back Shkodran Mustafi.

Jermain Defoe stepped up to convert the spot-kick and give Sunderland one of the more unworthy equalisers of the season.

Yet Arsenal responded strongly to the setback, particularly substitute Olivier Giroud. The aerially dominant Frenchman made a lethal impact off the bench, per the league's official site:

Giroud got his brace before Sanchez sealed his own to finally guarantee the points for the north London club.

Sanchez has redefined Arsenal's attack during this campaign. His talisman qualities will help this side keep pace in the title race all season.

Later in the day, Liverpool survived some typical defensive frailties to outgun Palace. Goals from Emre Can, Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip cancelled out a double from James McArthur to give the Reds a 3-2 lead at the break.

Matip's goal came from a corner taken by Philippe Coutinho. His precise cross made the pint-sized Brazilian a more prolific supplier of goals than some of the division's biggest names, according to Squawka:

Coutinho continued to dictate the play in the second half, but the three points still weren't safe until Robert Firmino finished a flowing move with aplomb. His goal confirmed Liverpool's place as most potent attacking force in England's top flight, a distinction manager Jurgen Klopp's squad share:

Liverpool's creakiness at the back has to worry Klopp, but he'll also know there's goals galore in this team.

Wins for the top three only made the points dropped by the chasing pack more costly. It's a feeling Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United know well after both being held to a draw on home soil.

For Spurs, it meant being pegged back by champions Leicester City. The Foxes cancelled out Vincent Janssen's penalty when Ahmed Musa found the net to continue his recent fine form in front of goal, per WhoScored.com:

City will relish the point amid a stuttering title defence, but for Spurs it means five games without a win in all competitions.

However, another touted contender is also struggling for results. Manchester United were blanked for the third league fixture in a row when Burnley grafted to a 0-0 stalemate at Old Trafford.

The Clarets' point owed everything to goalkeeper Tom Heaton, who frustrated the hosts all day:

Heaton was in inspired form, but the Red Devils were also guilty of wayward finishing. Manager Jose Mourinho's players created enough chances to win a dozen matches, but were too often profligate when it counted:

It hasn't helped that star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hit a dry spell after initially impressing with his first taste of Premier League football. The normally prolific Swede's knack for goal has consistently deserted him recently, according to OptaJoe:

United now find themselves nine points off the pace. Mourinho must find a way to make his team more expansive in the final third, a similar problem to the one facing Tottenham chief Mauricio Pochettino.

Goals are not proving hard to come by for any of the top three, one reason why the trio is already setting an impressive pace in this season's race.
