- Liverpool FC vs Watford was one game that has been all over social media for obvious reasons. Liverpool was thrashed by Watford, which meant that their winning streak did not just get broken but to the dismay of Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, the team can no more eye the Golden EPL trophy which has been only been given to Arsenal on their invincible run back in 2003-04 season. Liverpool lost 0-3 but they still dominate the Premier League by a huge margin.
- Leicester even lost its important contest against Norwich City 0-1. In what was an evenly poised game with Leicester possessing the ball for 58% of the time, Norwich City managed to get the ball past Leicester’s goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel. Norwich won this game, courtesy a brilliance by Jamal Lewis in the 70th minute.
- Wolves even upset Tottenham 3-2. Tottenham had got an important early lead over the Wolves where Serge Aurier scored a goal in the 45th minute to lead the Spurs 2-1.
