DT 28 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2016 Sport Tottenham’s Harry Kane scores their first goal from the penalty spot against Arsenal during their Premier League match at Emirates Stadium yesterday Dominant Liverpool top EPL summit • AFP, London RESULTS TOP SIX Liverpool swept to the top of the Premier League as Sadio Mane’s double inspired a 6-1 rout of Watford, while Tottenham rescued a 1-1 draw at north London rivals Arsenal yesterday. While Liverpool dazzled, their old rivals Manchester United ended a four-match winless run in the league as goals from Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic secured a much-needed 3-1 victory at Swansea. Liverpool have emerged as genuine title contenders and Jurgen Klopp’s side moved one point clear of second placed Chelsea thanks to a scintillating goal spree at Anfield. The Reds took the lead in the 27th minute when Senegal winger Mane met Philippe Coutinho’s corner with a header that looped past Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes. Just three minutes later, Roberto Firmino picked out Coutinho on the edge of the penalty area and the Liverpool forward fired home with a fine low strike. Klopp’s team were three up two minutes before half-time as Emre Can arrived unmarked at the far post to head in Adam Lallana’s cross. The goals kept coming and Chelsea’s Diego Costa celebrates scoring their third goal against Everton during their Premier League match at Stamford Bridge on Saturday REUTERS Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham Wimmer 42-og Kane 51-P Hull 2-1 Southampton Snodgrass 61, Dawson 63 Austin 6-P Liverpool 6-1 Watford Mane 27, 60, Coutinho 30, Janmaat 75 Can 43, Firmino 57, Wijnaldum 90 Swansea 1-3 Man United Hoorn 69 Pogba 15, Ibrahimovic 21, 33 Firmino added the fourth in the 57th minute, the Brazilian finishing off Lallana’s cross, before Mane got Conte: Chelsea can get better • AFP, London M W D L GD Pts Liverpool 11 8 2 1 16 26 Chelsea 11 8 1 2 17 25 Man City 11 7 3 1 15 24 Arsenal 11 7 3 1 13 24 Tottenham 11 5 6 0 9 21 Man Utd 11 5 3 3 3 18 Antonio Conte claimed Chelsea can still improve, despite recording his best win as manager of the club so far, describing his side’s 5-0 thrashing of Everton as “fantastico”. The Italian had been pressed to offer a word from his own language for the display and, having chuckled about the one he picked, then spoke seriously about how the true value of this victory is how it instils confidence in the system and his ongoing work with the squad. “You have to show that you can win with the idea of playing good football. It’s important to put these players in the best situation to exploit their talent,” said Conte as Chelsea moved to the top of the table. “I’m very pleased because today there was a fantastic atmosphere with our supporters. We must continue to work together with the players, the club, the supporters and then to improve step by step. We can improve. We can improve.” It is difficult to see how Eden Hazard can improve, having put in one of his finest displays for Chelsea. He scored twice, opening the scoring after 18 minutes, before driving home the best strike of the game on 54 minutes after a brilliant exchange of flicks with Pedro. That makes it seven goals in 11, his finest start to a season since moving to Stamford Bridge. “He’s playing fantastic football,” REUTERS his second in the 60th minute with a clinical close-range effort from Firmino’s pass. Daryl Janmaat notched his first goal for Watford in the 75th minute, but there was still time for Liverpool to complete the demolition in the 90th minute through Georginio Wijnaldum’s tap-in. At the Emirates Stadium, Harry Kane marked his return from injury with the equaliser as Tottenham kept their hated neighbours from the Premier League summit. Arsenal took the lead in the 42nd minute when Tottenham defender Kevin Wimmer headed a free-kick into his own net. After a difficult period for Pogba and Ibrahimovic, United’s star duo were back on song at the Liberty Stadium. • Conte enthused. “He’s showing his talent with all the Chelsea players. But the most important thing is that I’m seeing that Eden is fantastic with the ball and he is fantastic without the ball.” Everton didn’t have a chance and, having switched from his own attempt to play a three-man defence as early as the 36th minute, coach Ronald Koeman praised how the Italian ha made that formation work. “I never saw a team playing so well this system,” the Everton manager said. “Chelsea showed us today a very high level of football - in every aspect of football. I did not expect that big a difference on the pitch, but it happened.” •
