With a victory away from home to Spurs, Manchester City joined Liverpool at the top of the league
\nwith 26 points after week 10. Chelsea sat on 3 rd with 24 points, followed closely behind by Arsenal
\nand Tottenham on 22 and 21 points respectively. At the bottom of the table, Newcastle and
\nHuddersfield were on 3 points and were yet to win a game in the league this season, but how does
\nthe table look after week 11?<\/p>\n
The first game of week 11 involved 8 th place Manchester United travelling to 6 th place Bournemouth,
\nwith both teams unbeaten in their last three games. Eddie Howe\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s men got off to a dream start with
\nCallum Wilson netting from close range, but a Martial equalizer before halftime and a 92 nd minute
\nwinner courtesy of Marcus Rashford meant the Red Devils left with all three points and leapfrogged
\nWatford into seventh.<\/p>\n
Having walked over Huddersfield Town in week 10, Watford travelled to St James\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6 Park to play a
\nstruggling Newcastle, with experts predicting a comfortable Watford win. The game started as
\nexpected with Watford having more of the ball, but Newcastle were the one to break the deadlock
\nwith Ayoze Perez getting in front of his marker to flick it home and upset the odds, giving the
\nMagpies their first win of the season.<\/p>\n
Following the tragic loss of their chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in a freak helicopter crash,
\nLeicester City travelled to relegation favourites Cardiff, where the only goal of the match was by
\nLeicester\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s Demarai Gray, a goal which sparked emotional celebrations when he removed his shirt to
\ndisplay a message saying \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffFor Khun Vichai\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6. Spurs travelled to Molineux to play Wolverhampton
\nWolves and got off to an excellent start with a trio of goals coming before half time. However, a
\nflurry of back to back second half penalties meant Wolves clawed back to only one behind and
\nlooked set for an equaliser but Spurs just about managed to keep out the Wanderers and win 3-2. In
\nEast London, a brace by Felipe Anderson took West Ham to victory as they defeated Burnley 4-2. The
\nvictory took the Hammers to 13 th and could be the victory that signals the start of a winning run.
\nMeanwhile in Merseyside, a Richarlison brace and a stunner from Seamus Coleman led Everton to a
\n3-1 victory over Brighton.<\/p>\n
The sixth game of the day was the marquee matchup of the weekend, with unbeaten Liverpool
\ntaking on an Arsenal side with 7 wins in their last 8 games. Arsenal used their home crowd to their
\nadvantage as they had chance after chance in the first half, but also had to ride their luck with
\nLiverpool having a goal wrongly disallowed for offside. Jurgen Klopp\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s players improved in the
\nsecond half with James Milner finding the bottom corner with a strike from the edge of the box, but
\nAlexandre Lacazette rescued a point for the Gunners with a curled finish beating the outstretched
\nAlisson in the Liverpool net.<\/p>\n
Sunday began with Manchester City ruthlessly dispatching a poor Southampton side 6-1 thanks to a
\nMan of the Match display by Raheem Sterling, grabbing two goals and two assists. Chelsea
\nwelcomed Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge and took an early lead thanks to Alvaro Morata but a
\n53 rd minute goal by Townsend drew the Eagles level. Sarri brought on Eden Hazard shortly after, and
\nonly a minute after he was introduced, the Belgian set up Morata up for his second of the game.
\nDespite Palace attacking in the latter stages of the game, Chelsea were able to hang on and Pedro
\nfired home late in the game to seal the victory for the Blues.<\/p>\n
Following Newcastle\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s victory over Watford on Saturday, Fulham joined relegation rivals
\nHuddersfield in the drop zone shaping the game between the two into a crunch six pointer. Experts
\nforecasted an unenjoyable game for the neutral, with Huddersfield having only scored four goals in
\nthe league and Fulham yet to keep a clean sheet this season, and the experts were proven right.
\nWith a total of only three shots on target, the game was far from extraordinary, but Huddersfield
\nfinally scored their very first goal at home this season when Schindler\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s shot unluckily deflected off
\nFulham\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s defender Fosu Mensah and into the back of the net. David Wagner\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s men managed to hold
\non and win 1-0, taking them off the bottom of the table and up into 18 th but meant Fulham were
\nforced down into 20 th place.<\/p>\n
The results of gameweek 11 saw 33 goals and meant 13 teams moved places in the table, more
\nnoticeably with Chelsea overtaking Liverpool to 2 nd , Spurs passing Arsenal to claim 4 th , Newcastle
\nescaping the drop zone for the first time this season and Cardiff City replacing them in 19 th place.
\nManchester City now have a two-point lead at the top, the largest gap they have managed this
\nseason, cementing their place in the title race and proving once again that they are the team to beat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
