Today in the English Premier League, the 7th round began with eight matches played.
The first match took place at "White Hart Lane" stadium, where London's "Tottenham" faced off against "Manchester City". At the beginning of the match, the "city" club felt the strength of "Spurs" - they lost with a score of 4-1.
The match started with dominance from the visitors from Manchester. Manuel Pellegrini's team took control of the game from the first minute, but it didn't last long and the game leveled out.
Nevertheless, this didn't stop "City" from scoring a quick goal - in the 25th minute, after a great pass from Yaya Toure, the 75 million euro summer signing Kevin De Bruyne scored. "Spurs" did not falter and actively pressed the visitors for the rest of the first half.
The hosts managed to equalize the score at the end of the first half as Eric Dier scored a goal from about 25 meters after a gift from their opponents.
In the second half, the team led by M. Pellegrini could not recover from the equalizing goal and had to withstand the pressure from "Tottenham". In the 50th minute, the home fans rose from their seats again when Toby Alderweireld scored after a corner kick by Erik Lamela, beating Wilfredo Caballero in the City goal.
Having gained confidence, the North Londoners continued to attack until eventually scoring a third goal. In the 61st minute, Harry Kane scored his first goal of the season, being the first to react to a loose ball.
"Man City" tried to resist, but the final blow came in the 79th minute. E. Lamela scored after a precise pass from Clinton N'Jie, beating W. Caballero and finally finishing off the "Man City" team. It's worth mentioning that the first two goals were surrounded by controversy due to offside calls.
For "Man City", this was their second consecutive loss, dropping them one position down after Manchester United's victory. "Tottenham" temporarily climbed to 3rd place with 12 points.
In other matches, London's "Arsenal" with Alexis Sanchez in the lead had a great game against "Leicester". Jamie Vardy scored in the 13th minute to put the home team ahead, but the "Gunners" scored two goals before the end of the first half.
Alexis Sanchez was unstoppable in the second half, scoring two more goals and completing his hat-trick. In the 89th minute, J. Vardy scored another goal, but Olivier Giroud responded immediately.
Wins were also achieved by other teams, including "Manchester United" and "Liverpool". In the last evening match, London's "Chelsea" played to a 2-2 draw against league bottom-dwellers "Newcastle".
