Liverpool remains at the top of the English championship after the 7th round, chased by Manchester City and Arsenal, who also continued with victories.
Arne Slott’s “Reds” narrowly beat Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park in London 1-0 thanks to Diogo Zota’s early goal (9′), but lost Brazilian international goalkeeper Alisson to injury , who will be away for a month.
Champions Manchester City’s victory over Marco Silva’s excellent Fulham at the Etihad was also very difficult.
In fact, the visitors took the lead, but Kovacic “dressed” as Rodri for the “Citizens” and with two goals turned the situation around, with City winning 3-2.
Resistance was also faced by Arsenal, who are tied with Pep Guardiola’s team on 17 points (-1 from Liverpool).
The Gunners beat Southampton 3-1, also by surprise, in a game where the action and all the goals came in the second half.
