Man City Dominates Everton
On Saturday, the 28th of August, Manchester City hosted Everton at Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side, who currently sits third on the league table, was eager to maintain their winning streak in the English Premier League. It was a dominant performance from Man City, as they outclassed Everton in a 5-0 victory. City’s prolific striker, Riyad Mahrez, scored a hat-trick, while Jesus and De Bruyne completed the rout.
Despite starting the game slowly, the sky blue side of Manchester grew in confidence as the game progressed. Their attacking prowess was too much for Everton as they kept creating chances and converting them at regular intervals. Everton, on the other hand, could not match Man City’s intensity and failed to create any notable chances throughout the game. The Toffees’ abysmal performance will leave Rafa Benitez with lots to work on as the season grows.
Brentford Surprising Lead against West Ham
Brentford’s fairy-tale story in the Premier League continues as they secured a well-deserved 2-1 win away at West Ham’s London Stadium. The Bees, who were playing just their third match in the English top-flight, went 1-0 up in the 28th minute through an Ivan Toney goal. West Ham’s Michail Antonio equalized for the home team ten minutes later, but Brentford regained the lead through a Said Benrahma goal in the 63rd minute.
West Ham’s attempts to kickstart a comeback proved futile, as Brentford stood firm and secured all three points. This was a remarkable performance from the newly-promoted side and a stark reminder to the Premier League’s elite that they are capable of competing at the highest level.
