Liverpool's 5-0 victory was truly jaw-dropping, completely demolishing West Ham United!
This match was incredibly satisfying to watch, it didn't even seem like two evenly matched teams facing off, it was more like one side utterly dominating the other.
From the start of the game, Liverpool had complete control. In the 30th minute, Luis Diaz scored with a low shot that left West Ham United stunned.
Less than 40 minutes in, Mohamed Salah assisted Cody Gakpo for a goal, and this 2-0 scoreline wasn't the end. In the 44th minute, Kyle Jones provided a precise assist, allowing Salah to score directly, bringing the score to an immediate 3-0.
This series of moves had everyone's mood uplifted.
Then in the second half, West Ham United had no counter-attacking ability left. In the 54th minute, Trent Alexander-Arnold's shot was nothing short of divine, the ball taking a deflection into the net, and Liverpool's 4-0 lead was firmly established over West Ham.
Then, in the 84th minute, Salah assisted again, with Diogo Jota easily scoring, ending the match.
5-0, isn't that too big of a gap?
After this match, Liverpool's state is really not in question. They are unbeaten in 23 games, with 20 wins and 3 draws, they are truly a dark horse in the Premier League, performing exceptionally well.
Currently, Liverpool's points lead is far ahead, temporarily ranking first in the Premier League.
It must be said, this team really cannot be underestimated.
Every attacking player is in perfect coordination, especially Salah and Gakpo, their cooperation is seamless.
Let's see what netizens have to say:
One netizen said: Liverpool's performance today is simply crushing West Ham United, especially Salah, he is just too amazing!
We can see his efficient performance in consecutive matches, he is truly the core of the team.
But to be honest, West Ham United's performance today was really disappointing, failing to put any pressure on Liverpool at all.
Throughout the game, there were hardly any threatening attacks to be seen, and the few opportunities that arose were not seized upon.
Is it really possible that their form has deteriorated to such an extent?
Manchester City can also be considered to have finally climbed out of their slump.
After five winless games, they finally won 2-0 away against Leicester City, ending the period that had fans anxious.
At the beginning of the match, Manchester City's offense was not particularly efficient. It wasn't until the 22nd minute when Phil Foden's long-range shot was saved, but Savigno followed up to score, breaking the deadlock for Manchester City.
Leicester City also had chances to counterattack. In the 56th minute, Bunnanot's header almost scored, but it hit the frame, missing the chance to equalize.
Manchester City waited until the 74th minute when Savigno provided another assist, and Haaland calmly scored, making it 2-0. This goal left Leicester City with no hope.
To be honest, Manchester City's overall performance in this match was much better than in previous games, especially in attack, where their cooperation looked increasingly smooth.
After all, Manchester City has always been a strong team in the Premier League, so a few winless games can be considered a temporary low point.
I hope they can continue this form in the coming games, after all, the team's strength is there.
It must be admitted, Manchester City's forward line is still very threatening.
Especially Haaland, as long as he is in normal form, almost no one can stop him.
Now Manchester City has 31 points and is temporarily ranked fifth. Obviously, their goal is still to return to the championship race.
Speaking of Nottingham Forest, they are truly impressive. Today they defeated Everton 2-0, achieving a five-game winning streak.
In the 15th minute, Anthony Elanga provided a fine assist, and Kie Wood calmly chipped the ball into the net, helping Nottingham Forest take a 1-0 lead.
This goal really made people relax, Wood's calmness and precision are one of the reasons for their strength.
Then, in the 61st minute, Wood provided another assist for James Gibbs-White, who volleyed the ball into the net, locking in the 2-0 scoreline.
Nottingham Forest's winning streak not only delighted the fans, but their ranking also rose to second in the Premier League, surpassing Arsenal and Chelsea.
Honestly, this ranking is quite surprising. After all, everyone used to think Nottingham Forest was a mid-table team, who knew they would suddenly explode.
It seems that the chemistry between their coach and players is very high, and their tactical execution is also very precise.
A netizen commented: I think Nottingham Forest's winning streak is really not simple, especially Wood, his performance can really be called the soul of the team.
Finally, let's talk about Tottenham Hotspur, a truly headache-inducing team. Today they drew 2-2 at home with Wolverhampton Wanderers, continuing their lackluster form.
The start of the match was pretty bad, with Hwang Hee-chan scoring for Wolves in the 7th minute.
Tottenham's response was quick, with Rodrigo Bentancur heading the ball into the net in the 12th minute to quickly equalize.
But after that, Tottenham's performance could be said to make people sweat.
In the 41st minute, Bentancur and Johnson made a mistake, leading to a penalty. Son Heung-min's penalty was saved, which really made the fans sweat.
Despite Tottenham scoring in the 45th minute with Johnson pushing the ball into the net to overtake the score.
But in the 87th minute, Larsson's blast allowed Wolves to equalize again.
The final result of 2-2 was an embarrassing end for Tottenham.
Some netizens expressed: Tottenham is really too disappointing!
They clearly had a lead, but were ultimately equalized.
It seems they really lack a bit of overwhelming momentum.
After this match, Tottenham has only won 1 game in 7 rounds, with the rest being draws or losses. This state is clearly problematic, perhaps it's really time to change their approach.
This round of Premier League matches saw very different performances from several teams.
The Premier League season is still long, and every match is full of variables. Everyone needs to be prepared, as there are more exciting matchups to come!
