Chelsea end Manchester City Premier League unbeaten run

David Luiz sealed the win for Chelsea

Chelsea got back to winning ways to destroy Manchester City's Premier League unbeaten run in an emphatic way thanks to a 2-0 win at Stamford bridge with goals from N'Golo Kante and David Luiz.
Kante gave Chelsea the lead just in the brink of half-time after a lay-off from Eden Hazard. In the second half however, David Luiz sealed the victory with a powerful header and Manchester City had to go home thinking about how it happened. Manchester City are now 2nd with 41 points while Chelsea stay 4th with 34 points.
Chelsea are now unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home matches, their longest run since a 21-match home unbeaten streak which ended in August 2015.
Manchester City lost their first Premier League game in 22 matches, since their 3-2 loss to Manchester United in April.
Maurizio Sarri has now won for the first time in four games against Pep Guardiola after tasting three defeats in his previous three games against the Spaniard.
Kante has scored twice and assisted another two in the Premier League this season, equalling his total goals and assists in his previous two seasons where he played 69 games.

Mohamed Salah scored an hat-trick

Mohamed Salah was in a brilliant form as he singlehandedly took Liverpool top of the Premier League table unto 42 points thanks to his hat trick in the 4-0 win away at Bournemouth. Salah took his goal tally to 10 Premier League goals with a brilliant display and what a time to come back with the performance he showed throughout last season as many labelled him a season wonder after he failed to replicate those performances he had last season. It remains to be seen however if he can continue in that light.
Bournemouth have scored more Premier League own goals with a total of eight since the start of 2015/16 campaign than any other club currently in the league.
This is Liverpool's best ever point tally from their opening 16 Premier League games of the season.
James Milner has now made 500 Premier League appearances, the 13th player to reach that feet and the second youngest after Gareth Barry.
Only Lionel Messi with 45 goals has scored more league goals than Mohamed Salah who has 42 since the start of last season in Europe's top five leagues.

Lucas Torreira with the goal for Arsenal

Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to 21 games in all competitions with a hard fought win over Huddersfield thanks to a late acrobatic kick from Lucas Torreira. Arsenal remain 5th on the log with 34 points as we move into the festive period.
This is Arsenal's longest unbeaten run since November 2007 where they had 28 unbeaten games.
Huddersfield have only won one of their last 10 matches against Arsenal with defeats in the other nine without scoring a single goal.
This game recorded just two shots on target, the fewest in a Premier League match since October 28, 2017 when Watford hosted Stoke City which also saw two shots on target.
Arsenal are yet to go into the break with a lead in their first 16 Premier League games of the season. They've drawn 12 and lost four before half-time.

Manchester United got back to winning ways thanks to a brilliant display over Fulham which gave them a 4-1 victory. Goals where scored by Ashley Young, Romelu Lukaku, Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford. United moved to 6th with 26 points.
Jose Mourinho won his 50th Premier League game as a Manchester United manager in this match, his 92nd Premier League game in charge.
Fulham have conceded as many as 40 goals in 16 Premier League games this season.
