Premier League: Three Things we Learned as Bobby Dazzler Steals Show
After another international break, club football resumed this weekend and the Premier League was back and full of goals, with many teams looking to continue their good form whereas other teams were looking to get their season back on track
United lose as pressure builds on Ole
Manchester United kicked off the resumption of their season after the international break with a trip to Leicester, in which they were looking to kickstart their season after a mixed start to the league campaign so far.
Leicester ended up pulling off an impressive 4-2 win, in what can be seen as a disaster defensively for United, with many individual errors and players not picking up their man ultimately costing the Red Devils.
This result puts Leicester in a good spot after an inconsistent start. With Brendan Rodgers recently denying any links to the Newcastle job, insisting he his fully committed, Leicester will look to push up the table and potentially put them in a European race.
After another negative result, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces more questions about his tactics and his selection, with the fans thinking the team was set up too top heavily leaving them exposed too much at the back. Fans are beginning to get concerned and worry that it may be time for change.

Liverpool romp Hornets on Claudio Ranieri debut
Liverpool were looking to keep up with the pace in the title race, and face a Watford side who recently appointed Claudio Ranieri, but the reds were ruthless with their whole front three getting on the scoresheet, with Roberto Firmino bagging a hat-trick and Mo Salah scoring another world class goal as contract speculation around the Egyptians future goes on.
Watford were hopeless for almost the full game, with attack after attack from Liverpool giving the defence a torrid time. Danny Rose struggled in the face-to-face battle with Salah, and was constantly drawn out of position. Ranieri almost set his team up with no plan and were disjointed and all over the place.
Liverpool remain unbeaten this season but still lie 1 point behind leaders Chelsea, and with many players chipping in with many goals, it can give a massive boost to the squad moving forward in their push for the title and will look to take this form into the Champions League midweek.

Newcastle begin new ownership with disappointing loss.
Newcastle fans had plenty of reason to cheer, after a Saudi Arabian consortium finally completed a substantial takeover, making them the richest club in the world, but they kicked off the new era with a loss to an impressive Spurs, who went on to win the game 2-3.
Spurs can be relieved as their star forward Harry Kane finally got off the mark which could open the floodgates for him. With now another win to back up the one against Aston Villa, they are slowly regaining form to finish as high as they can this season
