A reversal of last week when United got the late winner and then West Ham missed the pen.
A good day for Man City with none of their 3 main rivals winning - great game between Brentford and Liverpool. Brentford overloading Trent T-A repeatedly and he struggles to defend without being overloaded.
And if Brighton win the last game of the weekend they go top for the first time ever.

@Hooroo North London is red today.
I have a feeling we won't get much to celebrate this season, so I am clinging on to this like we have won the Prem! 
Has MK Dons played Wimbledon AFC this season? Is this the first season they have been in the same div??

Ronaldo is a Freak!
The jury is still out on whether he will be the catalyst to United winning titles and cups or the weight around Ole's neck that will bring him down. He does seem to be playing him a lot in a long season and a few times Ole seems to have no idea what formation to play to get the best out of his players - almost too many attacking options now and they can't all play at the same time.
As for Spurs, they look close to falling apart and Harry is bringing down his transfer value with every game. Nuno might have been passed a very well paid hospital pass - let's see if he can get the best out of what is still a talented squad.
As for Arsenal, they look well set up to compete in the battle for 5th to 9th place - the new right back looks decent which makes the defence looks better overall and Partey needs a long run to keep the team stable.
24 days later
In these trying times it's always good to find some joy in the world
Going to Old Trafford and winning 5-zip definitely sparks joy.
Add in Ronaldo losing his shit and should have been sent off, while Pogba also lost his shit, and WAS sent off, and Salah scored 3.
The top 3 all had huge wins and it looks pretty much like it's them fighting out the title
Spurs lost again, and that doesn't appear to be going well at all.
If Newcastle don't start winning games they might end up the richest Championship club in history
And still Ole keeps his job, at least until Saturday. Looks like all he needs is a win against another team (some time soon) or maybe even a draw and he can stay indefinitely. The Liverpool game had the look of a manager on his way out due to the fact that it was entirely predictable that they would be thrashed (in fact Scholes during the week had said that "if they play like they did against Atalanta, then Liverpool could be 3 or 4 nil up by half time").
Spurs are also reeling at the moment so it is entirely possible that United will beat them. Strange days. And hard to see it being anything but a 3 horse race for the title from here.

i think they have something like Spurs in to City in to Chelsea over the next 3 weeks. I probably wouldn't chuck a new manager in to that either. That's assuming there is one ready to go.
Not the EPL, but Barca have sacked Koeman after another defeat. That club is a dumpster fire.

I'll say, its amazing how fast they have gone from world beaters to also rans. Some of the best football I have ever watched has been at sitting in Camp Nou

that period where they, and Spain, won basically everything on offer was incredible.
The presidents of the two big Spanish clubs have too much control but never take responsibility for their financial mismanagement that hamstrings the club.

yeah they were flat broke anyway and now have this on top.. lol
Bizarre ole day. City lose 0-2, Liverpool draw at home to Brighton after being 2-0 up. ManU pump Spurs away and we won away against Leicester and are now 5th I think.
EDIT:
6th after the Man U win

@hooroo Did you see Ramsdale's save from the Maddison free kick?
Yes. Spectacular.
