EPL Results Week 5, Is Mourinho’s Spurs A Title Challenger Or Pretenders

Just as it has been so far, the EPL results for Week 5 has been riddled, battered and suffocated with goals. With four of the eight games played over the weekend recording more than three goals each, with the regular stalwarts of great defensive records looking completely out of sorts.

While just the other 4 games witnessed at least a single goal. Games over the weekend kicked-off on Saturday afternoon at Goodison Park with the Merseyside derby between table-toppers and the EPL champions which ended in a 2-2 draw. The champions escaped barely with the skin of their teeth even though Carlo Ancelotti men were a man short. Goals by Mo Salah and Saido Mane gave Liverpool the draw.

While Chelsea’s defence continues to be its biggest weakness and very suspect to the aerial threats. Frank Lampard’s Chelsea ran riot and went into the lead through German speedster striker Timo Werner scoring a brace but the game ended in a draw 3-3 draw. One of such to happen over the weekend.

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal continues to grow and look stronger and better as the season proceeds but they couldn’t resist Kun Aguero led Man City, who defeated Arsenal just by a lone goal.

Aston Villa continues to look like side rebirthed, revitalised, possessed and on a mission. After defeating Liverpool 7-2, they are currently on an unbeaten form in the last 4 games.

Man United flattered to falter scoring 3 goals in the last 5 minutes of their game against Newcastle United to spare the blushes of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Tottenham Hotspur ran riot in the early part of their game against West Ham going into the first-half three goals to nil. The second-half was a completely different game with West Ham stepping up and snatching an equalizer in the 94-minutes through Manuel Lanzini tearing Jose Mourinho’s script completely. Gareth Bale also had his second EPL debut for Tottenham while spurs were still 3 goals up in the 75 minutes but things right there turned sore.
