EPL Table: 2016 Standings After Saturday’s Week 6 Results and Top Scorers

Sergio Aguero scored twice to help Manchester City open a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Aguero’s goals helped beat Swansea City 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, continuing the Manchester club’s perfect start to the new season.

But Aguero wasn’t the only marksman in top form. Tottenham’s Son Heung-min bagged a brace to send the Spurs on their way to a 2-1 away win over Middlesbrough. The result puts the North London club second.

Aguero and Son are now among the division’s leading scorers, with the former in a three-way tie at the top of the charts after Diego Costa was blanked during Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.

Alexis Sanchez inspired the hosts, as Gunners manager Arsene Wenger’s experiment to make the Chilean a central striker is beginning to bear fruit.

Here are the results from Saturday’s matches:

Recap

Sanchez was the star for Arsenal, who pressed Chelsea all over the pitch and attacked with more pace and rotations than the Blues could handle. That pressing gave Sanchez his goal after he harassed and robbed centre-back Gary Cahill.

It’s Sanchez’s fourth league goal this season, and proof he’s maturing amidst what has been a rough transition into leading the line. The role demands both goals and assists, and Sanchez turned provider for Arsenal’s third when he crossed for Mesut Ozil to bundle home.

Theo Walcott has scored in between, but it was Sanchez’s pace, graft and tireless running that kept the visitors stretched. He was substituted ahead of the final 10 minutes, but Sky Sports Statto detailed how effective Sanchez had been:
