EPL ROUND UP: Brentford Sting Chelsea At The Bridge, City And Liverpool Win
Brentford sent shockwaves around the Premier League on Saturday when they defeated Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge while Manchester City and Liverpool also claimed vital wins.
The biggest scoreline of the day came at Stamford Bridge when Brentford came from a goal down to beat European champions Chelsea.
After a goalless first half, the second period came to life when Antonio Rudiger gave the hosts the lead with a speculative long range effort in the 48th minute but Vitaly Janelt replied almost after before Christian Eriksen gave the visitors the lead. Janelt added a second and substitute Yoan Wissa completed the rout.
Champions Man City ensured they head into next weekend's top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool with their one point lead intact after two first half goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan gave them a 2-0 win at Burnley.
Leeds United and Southampton drew 1-1 at Elland Road while Brighton and Hove Albion and Norwich City played out a goalless draw at the American Express Stadium.
At the Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton Wanderers inflicted a third straight defeat on Aston Villa with a 2-1 win. Jonny scored for the hosts and Ashley Young scored an own goal while Ollie Watkins halved the deficit with a penalty.
In the early kick-off at Anfield, Liverpool temporarily climbed to the summit with a 2-0 win over Watford. Diogo Jota's 20th goal of the season and a Fabinho penalty did the damage for Jurgen Klopp's men.
