The Premier League resumed with a bang, and the biggest shock came at the Etihad, where Manchester City endured a crushing 4-0 loss to Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham. This marks the Citizens’ fifth consecutive defeat across all competitions and their second loss to Spurs in just a few weeks.
Haaland and his teammates were expected to bounce back, but goals from Pedro Porro, Brennan Johnson, and a Maddison brace left Guardiola’s side reeling. The loss sees Liverpool extend their lead at the top to eight points ahead of next Sunday’s showdown at Anfield, where the Reds could stretch their advantage to 11 points over the reigning champions.
Elsewhere, Feyenoord capitalized with a comeback win over bottom-of-the-table Southampton, thanks to a brace from the ever-reliable Salah, overturning a 2-1 deficit to secure a 3-2 victory. Chelsea and Arsenal also took advantage, with Maresca’s Blues earning a 2-1 win at Leicester through goals from Jackson and Enzo Fernandez, while the Gunners cruised to a 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.
