EPL: Man City beat West Ham as Liverpool see off Wolves

Manchester City, on Saturday, defeated West Ham 3-1 to stay perfect on a day of heart-stopping drama in the Premier League.

Liverpool had a brief taste of life at the top, beating Wolves 3-1 in the early kick-off before City took pole position.

In-form Tottenham scored two goals in stoppage-time to beat Sheffield United 2-1.

Champions City, two points clear of Liverpool, continue to churn out the wins, even though Pep Guardiola’s men trailed to a first-half James Ward-Prowse goal at the London Stadium.

Jeremy Doku equalised early in the second period and Bernardo Silva put City 2-1 up before Erling Haaland’s seventh goal of the season guaranteed a fifth win in five games.

Sheffield United looked to be on track for their first league victory of the season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But Spurs grabbed an equaliser in the 98th minute when Richarlison headed home Ivan Perisic’s corner and Dejan Kulusevski scored the winner.

Earlier, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool roused themselves after an anaemic first-half display against Wolves, recovering from a goal down.

Cody Gakpo scored 10 minutes into the second period and Andy Robertson finished neatly in the 85th minute before an own goal from Hugo Bueno added gloss to the scoreline.

It was the third time this season that Liverpool had come from behind to win.

Klopp said his team deserved to win the game after their powerful second-half performance but stressed that they could not afford to keep falling behind.

Klopp said: “Turning games around is helpful in a season but we cannot rely on it.

“We have to play better in the first half of games generally. We are not stable yet, that is not possible. Too many things are new.”

Aston Villa scored three late goals to beat Crystal Palace 3-1.

The London side led 1-0 courtesy of Odsonne Edouard’s first-half goal but Jhon Duran equalised in the 87th minute.

Douglas Luiz scored a penalty deep into stoppage time to put Villa in front and Leon Bailey made it 3-1.

Fulham’s Carlos Vinicius condemned Premier League new boys Luton to a fourth consecutive defeat as the Cottagers won 1-0.
