Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool team recorded a comfortable win in the Premier League, Manchester City recorded their sixth win from six games and Manchester United beat Leicester to end their two consecutive league defeats. Klopp’s side moved up to third in the table with 13 points, after they beat Hull City 5-1, with former Mainz goalkepper Loris Karius in goal. The reds sit behind Manchester City (18 points) and Tottenham Hotspur (14).
James Milner scored two penalties (30’ and 71’), while Adam Lallana (17’), Sadio Mané (36’) and Philippe Coutinho (52’) added the rest. Hull, who went down to ten-men after a Ahmed Elmohamady’s 29th minute hand ball, managed to get a consolation goal through David Meyler (51’). Germany international Emre Can was a second-half substitute.
Premier League frontrunners Manchester City beat Swansea City 3-1. Goals from Sergio Agüero (9’ and 65’ pen) and Raheem Sterling (77’) ensured a sixth league win for Pep Guardiola’s side, with Ilkay Gündogan starting. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder was substituted in the 67th minute. The 50 million Euro signing, Leroy Sané, was on the bench for the whole game.
Manchester United got back to winning ways, confidently beating Leicester City, who had Ron-Robert Zieler and Robert Hugh in their ranks. The 105 million Euro summer signing, Paul Pogba, scored his first goal for the club (42’), as United ran out 4-1 winners.
Chris Smalling (22’), Juan Mata (37’) and Marcus Rashford (40’) helped to fire Manchester United into a 4-0 lead, something they haven’t done since the 1st December 2012, when they beat Reading 4-3. Demarai Gray scored a wonderful consolation goal for the defending champions in the 59th minute.

A comfortable win for Barcelona and Ter Stegen
Spanish champions FC Barcelona coasted to their fourth win of the season, despite playing without the injured Lionel Messi. The Catalans recorded a convincing 5-0 win over Sporting Gijon on matchday six of La Liga, with Germany national keeper Marc-André ter Stegen in the side. The win moved Barcelona up to first in the table, until later this evening at least.
Luis Suarez (29’) and Rafinha (32’) put Barcelona into a 2-0 lead at half-time. Neymar (81’and 88’) and Arda Turan (85’) completed the rout in the second-half. Sporting Gijon’s Alverto Lora was sent off in the 74th minute, after being shown a second yellow card.
Head coach Luis Enrique had to do without superstar Lionel Messi at the Estadio El Molinón, after he injured his groin in last Wednesday’s crunch encounter with Champions League finalists Atlético Madrid.
