Saturday Recap
Chelsea and United didn't disappoint in Saturday's early game.
The home side took the lead in the first half after Rudiger punished Paul Pogba's slack marking from a corner. The defender escaped the Frenchman to head past United goalkeeper David De Gea and give Chelsea a deserved advantage.
Ashley Young was handed the task of containing Eden Hazard in the encounter, and the England international largely kept the Belgian superstar under control.
The Red Devils were a different team in the second half after Pogba and Nemanja Matic took control of the battle in midfield. Pogba forced his team-mates to play on the front foot, and United suddenly had an equaliser through Martial after 55 minutes.
The 22-year-old doubled his tally 18 minutes later, and it appeared the visitors had the points in the bag. During the six minutes of injury time, though, David Luiz's header rebounded of the post, and a scramble resulted in Barkley firing past De Gea.
The goal triggered angry scenes on the touchline, with United manager Jose Mourinho confronting Marco Ianni, a member of Blues coach Maurizio Sarri's staff, after he goaded the Portuguese following Barkley's goal.
City continued their charge to retain their title while putting the Clarets to the sword at the Etihad Stadium.
Sergio Aguero netted after 17 minutes, but home fans had to wait until 10 minutes into the second half for City's second. Bernardo Silva combined with David Silva, and the Portuguese doubled the advantage.
Fernandinho's quality finish made it 3-0 moments later before Riyad Mahrez and Leroy Sane both finished chances in the closing stages of the game
Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne also came off the bench to make his comeback after an ankle injury in what will be a welcome sight for manager Pep Guardiola.
Liverpool gave a disjointed display at Huddersfield but claimed the points as Salah returned to form.
The Egypt international gave a reminder of his performances from last season, scoring the only goal with a smart finish in the first half.
Spurs remained in control for the majority of their visit to West Ham, taking the lead on the stroke of half-time through Erik Lamela.
The Hammers had their chances to claim a point, but Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris did enough to capture the 1-0 win for his side.
Cardiff and Fulham provided entertainment in their game in South Wales as the hosts ran out 4-2 winners.
Andre Schurrle's strike gave the visitors an early advantage, but Cardiff quickly responded with two goals by Josh Murphy and Bobby Reid in five minutes.
Ryan Sessegnon made it 2-2 before half-time to become the first player born in the 21st century to score a Premier League goal, but the 18-year-old's record was overshadowed by another defeat for his team. Callum Paterson re-established the lead for the Bluebirds after 65 minutes, and Kadeem Harris put the icing on the cake for Cardiff with three minutes remaining.
Wolves fell to a surprise 2-0 defeat at home to Watford, with the Hornets back in form after a minor slump.
Etienne Capoue and Roberto Pereyra scored two goals in a minute midway through the first half, and the visitors deserved the points during an impressive away display.
Brighton earned a vital 1-0 win on the road at Newcastle through Beram Kayal's deflected effort after 29 minutes.
