Premier League Round-Up: Talking Points

In another enthralling weekend of football, Matchday 6 took place in the Premier League. Bet Central looks at the talking points from the weekend’s Premier League action, with Newcastle’s 8-0 win over Sheffield Utd, the pick of the bunch.

Darwin Nunez Finally Coming Right?

After a difficult first season at Liverpool, it looks like Darwin Nunez is finally adjusting to life at Anfield. His performances this season seem to suggest so. 

The Uruguayan striker was amongst the scorers as Liverpool went past West Ham United. He has been sensational this season and as Liverpool look to challenge again, the Liverpool man may play a crucial role.

Arsenal Continually Losing round On City

With Liverpool fast establishing themselves as the team most likely to trouble Man City in their bid for yet another Premier League title, Arsenal seem to be losing after taking City all the way to the final few games last season.

Arsenal led twice, but could only salvage a draw in the North London derby as captain and talisman Son Heung-Min scored a brace of comeback goals at the Emirates Stadium.

Son Heung-Min Stepping Up In Harry Kane’s Absence

Speaking of Son Heung-Min, he has been fantastic as a leader and player since the exit of Harry Kane. He has started to form a dangerous partnership with new signing James Maddison who assisted both of his goals. 

There is a different buzz around the Tottenham camp as they play a more attractive style of football and begin to find more joy results-wise.

No End In Sight For Chelsea’s Problems

After succumbing to a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa courtesy of an Ollie Watkins goal, Chelsea will have been left to wonder when their luck will begin to change after a difficult start to the season. 

For one, they have struggled with a target man upfront with Nicholas Jackson yet to fully find his rhythm. But at the heart of Chelsea’s problems is a midfield full of quality players that isn’t quite gelling yet. An astute tactician like Mauricio Pochettino will constantly be working to address their problems.

Sheffield United Romped At Home By Newcastle

In an absolute trashing, Newcastle went to Sheffield and unleashed a world of hurt as they put 8 past United in a performance that underlined just how dangerous Newcastle are. 

All 8 goals were scored by different players, but Kieran Trippier managed a hat trick of assists in a humbling game. Newcastle have announced that they are a team to take seriously if they can do that away from home.
