Fantastic 4 from Chelsea, Mou’s Man United flops: What’s hot what’s not in the Premier League

After mid-week European football, the Premier League returned for its ninth weekend of fixtures, with England’s top-flight providing action aplenty once again.

Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium was the venue for the Cherries’ Saturday lunchtime kick-off against Tottenham, as both sides settled for a share of the spoils in Dorset following a goalless stalemate.

Elsewhere, Burnley returned to winning ways against Everton at Turf Moor after Scott Arfield’s last minute strike secured a 2-1 victory for Sean Dyche’s Clarets, who recorded maximum points for the third time this term to move up to 14th.

Defending title-holders Leicester City followed up their Champions League success by defeating Crystal Palace 3-1 at the King Power Stadium. Ahmed Musa, Shinji Okazaki and Christian Fuchs provided the goals for Claudio Ranieri’s Foxes.

Xherdan Shaqiri’s brace earned Stoke City a comfortable away win at Hull City’s KCOM Stadium, while rock-bottom Sunderland were set for a point in the capital when they visited West Ham, only for Winston Reid to net the decisive goal for the East Londoners in stoppage-time.

At the Emirates, Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw by Middlesbrough, while Swansea City and Watford played out the same result at the Liberty Stadium.

In Saturday’s late game, third-paced Liverpool beat West Brom 2-1 at Anfield. Sadio Mane and Philippe Coutinho were on target for the Reds.

On Sunday, Manchester City had to be thankful for Kelechi Iheanacho’s second-half equaliser as they returned the summit on goal difference despite being held to a 1-1 draw against Southampton at the Etihad Stadium.

Chelsea recorded the biggest win of the weekend, demolishing Manchester United 4-0 at Stamford Bridge later on in the afternoon. The damage was done courtesy of goals from Pedro, Gary Cahill, Eden Hazard and N’Golo Kante.
