Premier League Matchday 8: Games

Resumen de la jornada 8 de la Premier League: Manchester City vs Everton

Manchester City continued their charge toward the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory over Everton. Pep Guardiola’s men showed patience and control throughout the match, breaking down a stubborn Toffees defense in the second half thanks to the inevitable Erling Haaland.

The opening forty-five minutes were surprisingly tight. Everton set up deep, with five defenders and two holding midfielders screening the central lanes, forcing City to circulate the ball wide. Despite dominating possession, City struggled to find space in the final third. Phil Foden tested Jordan Pickford early, yet Everton’s organization and resilience kept the score level.

As the second half began, the tension was noticeable. City intensified its pressure, moving the ball quickly and forcing Everton’s defensive line to retreat even deeper. In the 57th minute, their persistence finally paid off. A slick passing sequence between Foden and Bernardo Silva opened a gap in the box, allowing Haaland to strike clinically with his left foot to make it 1-0.

Everton tried to react, pushing slightly higher and introducing fresh legs, yet that only left more space behind their backline. City exploited it perfectly. In the 78th, Haaland struck again, doubling the lead and sealing the result.

With this win, Manchester City remain firmly in the title conversation. For Everton, the defeat leaves them hovering near the relegation zone, and their lack of attacking productivity is becoming a real concern.

Result: Manchester City 2-0 Everton

Resumen de la jornada 8 de la Premier League: Liverpool contra Manchester United

The meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield delivered high drama, a fierce derby atmosphere, and a result that will echo long into the season. In a 2-1 win for United, the visitors broke their nine-year streak of failing to win at Liverpool and handed the Reds their fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions.

From the outset, Manchester United took the bold initiative. Just 62 seconds into the match, United’s signing Bryan Mbeumo fired home after a slick move to stun Anfield’s crowd. Liverpool rattled early, tried to regroup, but found themselves under pressure, failing to translate possession into clear-cut chances in the first half.

Pley of second-half hopes emerged for Liverpool. They piled on the pressure, with Cody Gakpo hitting the post three times and eventually converting in the 78th minute after a dangerous build-up. But just when everyone thought that momentum had shifted, United worked on a set-piece: a looping ball from Bruno Fernandes found Harry Maguire, whose headed finish sealed the 2-1 victory and restored the away lead.

Result: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester United

Resumen de la jornada 8 de la Premier League: West Ham contra Brentford

West Ham began with control of possession but lacked penetration. Brentford pressed efficiently, closing down spaces and forcing sideways passing. The Bees slowly took command, with Mathias Jenses dictating tempo and Bryan Mbeumo creating problems out wide. The hosts looked disconnected between midfield and attack, and their defensive line was often caught reacting rather than anticipating.

The breakthrough came in the 43rd minute, when Igor Thiago found the net after a smooth combination play inside the box. The goal deflated the home side, who went into halftime trailing and without a single shot on target.

In the second half, West Ham’s response lacked urgency. Despite tactical changes, including the introduction of Michail Antonio, the Hammers remained predictable in attack. Brentford, meanwhile, maintained their shape and looked dangerous in transition. Their composure paid off late in the game, as Jensen doubled the lead in stoppage time, sealing a well-deserved victory.

Result: West Ham 0-2 Brentford

Resumen de la jornada 8 de la Premier League: Tottenham vs Aston Villa

Tottenham raced into an early lead inside the first five minutes when Rodrigo Bentacu was on hand to finish after a smart delivery from João Palhinha, giving the host confidence and momentum.

However, as the first half progressed, Aston Villa gradually grew into the game and in the 37th minute equalized through Morgan Rogers with a stunning long-range strike that caught Tottenham’s defense off-guard and the goalkeeper unprepared.

After the break, Tottenham continued to dominate possession and looked more likely to regain control, but as the match wore on, their urgency and cutting edge faded. Villa’s substitutions and adjustments paid off, culminating in a decisive goal in the 77th minute by Emiliano Buendia.

This result underlines Villa’s resilience and improving form, coming from behind away from home to take three points. For Tottenham, the defeat highlights ongoing issues at home, especially their inability to maintain leads and close games despite strong starts.

Result: Tottenham 1-2 Aston Villa
