by admin

[Epoch Times October 25, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Li Rongshi comprehensive report) Last weekend, the ninth round of the 2021/22 Premier League staged the first “Double Red Club” of the season. As a result, Manchester United was at home 0: 5 miserable defeat to Liverpool, but also losers; “Leader” Chelsea beat Norwich 7-0 at home; defending champion Manchester City 4:1 away from “dark horse” Brighton. After this round, Chelsea accumulated 22 points and continued to lead the standings with 1 point advantage; “Blue Moon” accumulated 20 points and ranked third. After nine rounds, the Premier League championship situation is basically determined, and it is no surprise that the championship will be produced among these three teams.

In this round, the much-anticipated “Double Red Societies” competition went beyond people’s expectations. Only 13 minutes into the game, Liverpool relied on Keita and Jota’s goals to get a two-goal lead. After that, the game entered Mohamed Salah’s personal performance time. The 29-year-old Egyptian forward scored three goals in a row and completed a “hat trick.” After 50 minutes, the score on the field has been fixed at 5:0.

Seeing the bad performance of the team, a large number of home fans chose to leave early, coach Solskjaer was also greatly booed by the fans on site. The mentality of Manchester United players has become impatient and imbalanced. Pogba, who came on the bench at the beginning of the second half, played only 15 minutes and was sent off for a bad foul and received a red card. This made Manchester United only be able to challenge with ten men.

But Liverpool did not kill them all. With five goals ahead and one more man, they slowed down the pace of the game. Otherwise, they would be able to score more goals in the face of such an unbearable defense of the “Red Devils”. In the end, Liverpool defeated Manchester United 5:0 in the away game. This is the second largest loss in Manchester United’s history against Liverpool, second only to 126 years ago-the 1:7 defeat at Anfield in 1895. At the same time, the “Red Devils” also set the record for the largest loss against Liverpool at home.

Arsenal pick up, Villa gradually sinks

Last season, Aston Villa’s performance was a surprise. He once beat Liverpool 7-2 and finally won the club’s best Premier League ranking in the past ten years-11th. After the end of the season, Manchester City spent 117.5 million euros in transfer fees to introduce Villa’s core and captain Glarish. Although Villa used the money to sign 4 more players, the effect was not good and the team’s strength was obviously not as good as last season.

In this round, Villa went to the away game against Arsenal, who also had a poor record this season, but fell behind by two goals in the half. In the second half, Arsenal made another beautiful counterattack, and Smith Rowe scored “single-handedly”. Before the end of the game, Villa pulled one back, but it was too late. In the end, Arsenal defeated Villa 3-1 at home.
