EPL Results Week 7: Saturday’s 2016 Premier League Scores, Top Scorers and Table

Diego Costa reclaimed his place as top scorer in the 2016-17 Premier League after bagging his sixth goal of the campaign in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Hull City to help the Blues earn their first league victory since August.

The Spain international helped create Willian’s opener against the Tigers just minutes before taking matters into his own hands to put his name on the scoresheet.

Those results weren’t quite as positive when one considers those three away sides actually recorded the opening goals in each of their clashes before allowing their hosts back in to claim a result.

Earlier on Saturday, Liverpool clinched their fifth successive win across all competitions after second-half goals from Roberto Firmino and James Milner completed a 2-1 comeback win over Swansea City.

Leroy Fer opened the scoring in south Wales, but Milner’s 84th-minute penalty—his fourth goal of the season—saw the Reds temporarily rise to second in the division, only two points below leaders Manchester City.
