Star striker Erling Haaland breaks Premier League records, Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool celebrates at the last second.
While Norway’s Haaland scored his seventh to nineth goals of the season in Manchester City’s 6-0 (3-0) win and thus set a record, the Reds, managed by the German team manager, celebrated a 2-1 goal after a goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time ( 0-1) against Newcastle United.
In Manchester, in addition to former Dortmund player Haaland (12th, 23rd, 38th), Joao Cancelo (50th) and Julian Alvarez (66th, 88th) scored for team manager Pep Guardiola’s team, which is second with 13 points. Haaland, who only scored three times in the 4-2 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, was substituted in the 69th minute, with Kevin De Bruyne coming in for him.
Liverpool, who equalized the Premier League’s biggest win by beating AFC Bournemouth 9-0 at the weekend, are now fifth in the table with eight points. Former Hoffenheim Firmino (61st) and Fabio Carvalho (90th + 8) gave the Klopp team the late win. Alexander Isak (38th), under contract with BVB from 2017 to 2019, had met for Newcastle. In the closing stages, Liverpool were rewarded for their great effort.
Arsenal FC is better than the Reds and ManCity too, celebrating their fifth win in a 2-1 (1-0) win over Aston Villa and finishing first with an impeccable 15 points. Gabriel Jesus (30th), moved from Man City to London in the summer, and Gabriel Martinelli (77th) scored decisively. National player Thilo Kehrer was unlucky, the central defender scored an own goal in his new team West Ham United’s 1-1 (0-1) draw against Tottenham Hotspur (34th).
