Liverpool Beats A Gritty Chelsea To Maintain Perfect Start

Aubameyang comes to Arsenal’s rescue; Manchester United trips at West Ham; Granada ambushes Barcelona

- 

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s thunderous strike inspired Liverpool’s 2-1 win against Chelsea as the Premier League leader moved five points clear at the top on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp’s side extended its perfect start to the title race as it became the first club to win its opening six games in consecutive topflight seasons.

Roberto Firmino increased Liverpool’s advantage before the interval and N’Golo Kante’s fine goal was not enough to give Chelsea tangible reward for a vibrant second half.

Ten-man Arsenal twice came from a goal down to claim a much-needed 3-2 win over Aston Villa in dramatic fashion thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangs freekick six minutes from time at the Emirates.
