Premier League Review: Matchweek Six<\/h2>\n

Manchester City Hit Watford For Eight<\/h3>\n

How does a club bounce back from a surprise 3-2 defeat to Norwich City<\/a>? According to the champions, it is by beating Watford by eight goals to nil.<\/p>\n

Manchester City tore apart Watford in the opening 20 minutes off the game at the Etihad. They were 1-0 up inside the opening minute, as Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> found David Silva<\/a> at the back post who then tapped into the empty net.<\/p>\n

The next 17 minutes saw an onslaught of four goals. Sergio Aguero<\/a>, Riyad Mahrez<\/a> and Nicolas Otamendi<\/a> all contributed to the demolition, while Bernardo Silva<\/a> registered the first of his hat-trick.<\/p>\n

Watford’s afternoon only got worse in the second half. City – even five goals ahead – still went on the attack. Bernardo Silva rounded off his hat-trick within the opening 15 minutes off the second half, before Kevin De Bruyne made it 8-0 with five minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

Liverpool Edge Chelsea In End-to-End Game At Stamford Bridge<\/h3>\n

As a result of Manchester City’s emphatic victory, Liverpool<\/a> were back to being just two points ahead of their rivals. However, they extended it back to five points as they edged Chelsea<\/a> 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

It was Liverpool who opened the scoring first. Mohammed Salah<\/a> laid the ball off to Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> after a pre-planned free-kick, before the right-back hammered home to make it 1-0.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, though, were not fazed and thought they had equalised through Cesar Azpilicueta<\/a>. The right-back found himself in front of goal, and following a goalmouth scramble, he nudged it home. However, VAR concluded that Mason Mount<\/a> was to be offside during the buildup and ruled out the Spaniard’s goal.<\/p>\n

Three minutes later and Azpilicueta had turned victim. He gave away a free-kick, which then resulted in Roberto Firmino<\/a> heading home to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n

Frank Lampard’s side quest for a goal twisted and turned, as Chelsea gradually pushed further forward. In the 71st minute the made it 2-1, as N’Golo Kante<\/a> – on his return to the line-up – completed a swooping run by firing home into the top-right corner past a helpless Adrian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, that was that for the action, as Liverpool held off Chelsea for a vital three points.<\/p>\n
