LONDON, Sept. 1-- Liverpool maintained their 100 percent start to the season with a 3-0 win away to Burnley which only served to show that Jurgen Klopp's side looks hungrier than ever. After opening the scoring with a Chris Wood own goal, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino added to Liverpool's tally with the only negative and on-field disagreement between Mane and Mohamed Salah after Salah wasted a chance by opting to shoot rather than pass. Klopp said the incident only highlighted the desire his players have, after chalking up their 13th consecutive league win. Manchester City kept on Liverpool's tail as the top of the Premier League begins to take on a very familiar look. Pep Guardiola's men had few problems in brushing aside Brighton 4-0 with goals from Kevin de Bruyne, who put City on course for a win as early as the second minute. Kun Aguero scored twice and Bernardo Silva rounded off the scoring for City, who suffered a potentially major setback when central defender Aymeric Laporte was carried off with what looked like a serious knee injury. Sunday's north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham produced thrills and goals in a 2-2 draw which probably leaves Arsenal the happier of the two sides after they came back from 2-0 down. Christian Erikson justified his return to the Spurs side with a 10th-minute goal and Harry Kane doubled Spurs' lead with a penalty five minutes before the break. |
