Recap

City had been in excellent form before the international break and picked up right where they left off against Stoke, scoring a remarkable seven goals. Gabriel Jesus bagged a brace, while David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva also got on the scoresheet.

The star of the show was Kevin De Bruyne, however, who conducted the attack and picked out one exceptional pass after the other. Even Stoke's official Twitter account was impressed:

The win took the Citizens up to first place in the standings, passing rivals United along the way. The Red Devils had momentarily taken sole possession of the top spot on Saturday after their goalless draw at Anfield.

Liverpool and United served up a drab contest that didn't even come close to living up to the expectations, and per sportswriter Andy Mitten, it has become the norm:

Fans were treated to much better during the afternoon slate, including one of the top upsets of the season. Winless Crystal Palace―who hadn't even scored a goal this season―somehow beat defending champions Chelsea 2-1 at home.

Unsurprisingly, many praised Palace manager Roy Hodgson after the final whistle. The tactician has enjoyed much success against the Blues during his career, per OptaJoe:

Christian Eriksen scored the only goal in Spurs' win over Bournemouth, and in the late fixture, Tom Cleverley scored a late winner, as Watford shocked Arsenal.

Per Mertesacker had opened the scoring, but Watford improved in the second half and struck twice, albeit in controversial fashion. Troy Deeney converted a penalty after very minor contact with Richarlison, and Cleverley's winner had a hint of offside.
