Week 8 games of the EPL

The week 8 games would usher us into yet another international break.
Everybody wants to end on a high, but only few teams in the top seven
of last season could record a win.
Man City laid down the marker with a resounding 6-1 annihilation of
lackluster Newcastle, who held Chelsea to ransom last weekend. Last season top scorer, Kun Aguero scored five goals in the encounter, making him the fifth player in the league history to score five goals, and holding the record for the fastest.
Chelsea on the other hand were humiliated in front of their fans by
Southampton. Chelsea were given the lead through the trademark free kick of Willian, but couldn't hold on to their slim lead. Southampton came from behind to defeat them 3-1 at Stamford Bridge.
It was a Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool. It was a
clash between an inform Everton and a Liverpool who hasn't lost in the derby of recent memory. Though we expected lot of goals, we only got
goals from Ings and Lukaku, thereby ending in a 1-1 draw.
The biggest game of the weekend, was between Arsenal and Man United. It was a stroll in the park for Arsenal, to the surprise of many. United were shocked by Arsenal when they ended the game before it even started. Arsenal were 3goals up as early as 20 minute. It was a game dominated by Arsenal, and the inspired Sanchez did the damage.
Tottenham held Swansea to a 2-2 draw. Harry kane scored an own goal, after goal from Erikson had brought them game level. All thanks to Christian Erikson for scoring his second goal in the game to save Kane and Tottenham's blushes.
Man City 6-1 Newcastle
Chelsea 1-3 Southampton
Everton 1-1 Liverpool
Arsenal 3-0 Man United
Swansea 2-2 Tottenham
With City, Southampton and Arsenal all recording wins while Chelsea and United losing their games, we would select our biggest winner and loser. I don't see any reason why Man City wouldn't be our biggest winner with such goal margin,  5 goals difference, while the other Manchester is our biggest loser, with -3 as goals difference.
Thumbs up to City for going into the break on top of the league.
