MANCHESTER CITY (TR 5; DEF 4) vs CRYSTAL PALACE (TR2; DEF 3)
Southampton started the day with 11 Points, (3-2-0). If they could get a win they would sit in a tie atop the Table with Manchester City. It seem for a good while they would, if fact, get a win.

Man U was continually beaten on Loose Balls amd Defense by a swarming Southampton - until the 71’ mark.
At the 71 Minute mark everything changed. Alexis Sanchez was awarded a Penalty Kick, and he made good on the shot as he easily beat Fraser Forester.

Manchester U started the season 0-2, but, they are now 3-1-2, good for 10 Poains and 4th place in Tables. Southampton, (3-2-1), suffers their first defeat of the season. 32,505 dejected fans left St. Mary’s Stadium, quietly.

Harry Kane, heretofore without a goal for the season, scored just as extra time expired n the First Half with an assist from Defenseman, Eric Dier. Dier also had the defensive play of the game. In the 86th minute Huddersfield Midfielder, Aaron Mooy, fotted a 'slow" ball to the far corner of the net. Dier, (off the Special Play Chart), being a Defenseman, made a deparate slide and cleared the ball which was headed for a sure goal.

26,688 fans of W Bromwich at the Hawthornes were wondering how their heros would respond after their devastating 5-Nil loss to Arsenal last week. They certainly played better this week as they tied Watford, 1-1. Jose Rodon put the hometown on top, 1 - Nil, with a goal at 16’ with an assist from Chris Brunt. It was Rodon’s 3rd goal of the season. It was Brunt’s first ssist of the season.
The score remained 1-nil, W Bromwich until the 70’ mark when Abdoulaye Doucoure found the net for Watfor to tie the match at 1-1. It was his first goal of the season. He was assisted by Roberto Pereyra. He now has two assists on the season.
After West Bromwich’s bad lass to Arsenal last week Glyn Myhill got the start in goal. He turned back foru of the shots on goal directed at him.
Richarlison, Watford’s premier player, was shaken up in the 79’ and left the pitch. He is expected to be ready for Watfor’s next match.

LIVERPOOL (3-1-3) vs Manchester U (3-1-3)LIVERPOOL (TR 4; DEF 4) vs MANCHESTER U TR 3; DEF 3)
Both teams came into today’s match with identical 3-1-3 records. Until the 90+2, right at the last tick, it looked like Man U would take three points and climb the ladder thanks to Jesse Lingard’s third goal of the season. It came in the 31’ on a perfect fee from Ashley Young’s second assist on the season.
Liverpool dominated much of the game but Manchester U’s Goalee was up to task on the first five shots that found the target. Just as time expired, however Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain blasted an unassisted shot past de Gea to tie the match as time expired. 54,074 fans erupted at Anfield Stadium as Liverpool stole a point at the very last second.
