EPL Results: Saturday’s Week 10 Scores, Updated 2016 Premier League Table

Liverpool only trail leaders Manchester City and second-placed Arsenal on goal difference after the Premier League’s top three all won on Saturday. Every member of the trio earned their points by scoring four goals away from home.

City put West Bromwich Albion to the sword at the Hawthorns to snap a six-match run without a win in all competitions. The win was bookended by Arsenal hitting bottom-of-the-table Sunderland for four at the Stadium of Light, before Liverpool capped the day’s fixtures by winning 4-2 and leaving Crystal Palace disappointed at Selhurst Park.

It was a proper centre-forward’s goal from a player still making the transition from playing on the flanks to operating through the middle.

The move before the finish also showcased the best of the possession-based philosophy manager Arsene Wenger has preached for two decades with the Gunners:
