Football: Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool win as normality returns to EPL

On a day uncertainty reigned in England as the nation prepared to go back into lockdown, the English Premier League returned to something resembling normality, according to The Associated Press.

Three of the teams expected to contend for the title — Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool — all picked up wins in back-to-back fixtures on Saturday.

There was also the familiar sight of Liverpool, the defending champion, back atop the standings thanks to a late goal that is becoming its trademark.

Jurgen Klopp hailed Liverpool’s ability to find a way to win after Diogo Jota came off the bench to score the winner five minutes from time to beat West Ham 2-1.

“Football is always about finding the right way, and tonight the boys found it,” AFP quoted Klopp as saying.
