Unforgettable Premier League Matches 2020–2025 ｜ Part 2

What a game, what a sport. Thrill after thrill, drama and yet more drama. It's becoming an epic, but Premier League at its unpredictable best. Leicester City, a football club that's enjoying something of a golden age. League champions six seasons ago, defending the FA Cup for the first time. But what will be written in the annals of Leicester City's history this season? Kane, opportunity to turn and an opportunity to finish, but a crucial intervention there by Thomas on the line. Thomas does so well to read that, get back on the line. Lukman, Daka, Lukman and Daka! Well, totally against the run of play. Now a skip. Oh, Lucas Moura might get there, Schmeichel's there, but so is Hojbjerg! Oh, heroic from Albrighton. Following on from the lead of Luke Thomas earlier in the game, Mark Albrighton the latest goal line saviour for Leicester. Brought by skip, and now Kane who looked onside. He's got support from Lucas Moura, but he will not need him against his former club and favourite opponent. And you cannot say Tottenham don't deserve it. Choudhury, Tielemans, enjoying a feel of the ball. And great introduction for Barnes. Is there going to be a final twist in the plot here? Hojbjerg, Doherty's up there, Matt Doherty! Bergwijn has saved it for Tottenham! An extraordinary climax at the King Power Stadium. And how long will there be? Already into time on top, and Bergwijn's going through. And can he finish it here? Steven Bergwijn wins it! Astonishing stuff! Well, you could not have a greater impact as a substitute than that. Tottenham on top for so long, but it has taken the extraordinary to win it. Old Trafford's final fixture before Christmas. Still not much cause for festivity, but maybe a hint or two of brighter times that may lie ahead. Dalot. Oh, and Amad Djalo just has to give a nod of approval on the goal line. Shaw lost it, here's Semenyo. Possibility here for the visitors. Antoine Semenyo! 1-1, driven in at the Stretford end. Casemiro! It's Evert Nielsen, and Evert Nielsen has scored after 39 seconds of the second half. Marcus Tavernier! And Bournemouth have scored three at Old Trafford for the third season in a row. We've seen one free-kick fly past a goalkeeper who was somewhat off-foot. This is Bruno Fernandes, and that's 3-3. Bruno Fernandes has dispatched it beautifully. Here comes Shesco. It's Kounia, it's 4-3! Alex Jimenez. Oh, and it's fallen for Krupi! Oh, for a piece! This is becoming a ridiculous game. Cross to Brooks. Take a bow, the lot of them. Wonderful game of football. And so welcome back, Leeds United. A 16-year journey to hell and back ends right here, right now. And then, bring on the champions. Last year, the best by a monstrous margin. And now they have to do it all again. Salah. Salah's hits hit Cook, and the referee has pointed at the spot. Any time the arm is away from the body, the referee is obliged to give it. Salah! The champions are on their way. Here goes Harrison again, oh, he's made some space here. It's a good hit, it's an equaliser! Robertson's take, and a thumping header from Virgil van Dijk restores the champions' lead. And Dijk has only found Bamford's, and Bamford has found the net for Leeds! And Leeds are looking the part again. In by Robertson, flicked out by Strzok, and hit by Salah! Wow, that has fizzed in. This is a firework night of an opening night. Aimed in for Klik, 3-3! The Man Leeds are coming back, Leeds are not going away. Robertson's outswinger van Dijk arriving and couldn't connect. Out by Phillips, came to Fabinho, penalty. Potentially to settle a Premier League classic, and to complete a hat-trick. Mo Salah slams it in, and Liverpool have their fourth and maybe their final lead of an exhilarating opening night at Anfield. It's England's two most successful clubs this millennium, each of them laden with trophies and silverware. Cole Palmer coming up against Manchester City for the first time, team-mates with whom he shared a dressing room up until very, very recently. Ronaldo Silva gets another chance, looking for Haaland! And it's Thiago Silva who puts it out. He's claiming a penalty there, Erling Haaland. Referee has pointed to the spot. They've both got a piece of each other, but he wrestles him to the ground. It's a penalty. Erling Haaland has averaged a goal per game at the Premier League this season, and it's 12-out-of-12. Congratulations from Ederson's team-mates, they know how good that was, but he's been cut out here. Chelsea equalise within four minutes of going behind. Palmer, trying to give it inside, it's worked too. Raheem Sturridge, he's old club! And from 1-0 down, Chelsea have turned it around to lead at Stamford Bridge. Here is Ronaldo Silva, he's always got a trick up his sleeve. Kanji! In stoppage time ahead of half-time, Manchester City drag it back to 2-2. Alvarez has gone around the outside. This is Haaland! It's over the line! Manchester City score 90 seconds after the restart. Slide in and he just bundles it over the line. Chissédo. Now Gallacher. Ederson can only parry. Jackson is in! 3-3 at the bridge! Now Kovacic, a second bite to the cherry. Good block by Tisassi. Rodri, it's deflected in! Rodri might just have won it! A seven-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge. Sterling, a pocket of space. Brogia. So a penny for the thought of Cole Palmer. Can he make it four out of four all from the spot? Palmer! What a game! This has been a heavyweight encounter at the bridge. And frankly, we could have watched that all night. When United play Liverpool, the point is the people. Old Trafford trembles as once more the ancient tribal lines are drawn. Firmino. And Salah. And Naby Keita! And Liverpool lead promptly on the turf of the enemy. Robertson, seeking out Xhota, Maguire's lost it to Keita. And Keita's moved it on for Alexander-Arnold, and Xhota has scored. Manchester United's collective misery, Diogo Xhota's joy. Keita, Firmino, Salah, Firmino, this is delightful, Xhota and Salah. And here comes Naby Keita, Liverpool have three, it's Mo! Xhota, Firmino, Robertson, fiddled it through for Xhota, and there's Mo Salah. It is four, it is four for Liverpool at Old Trafford. It's astonishing for United, it is horrifying. It gets no worse than this, given the context of the game, given the history of the game, given the meaning of the game. Henderson nicked it, Xhota's one way, Salah's the other. He's on an Old Trafford hat-trick here, Mo Salah. And he captures the moment! The man is extraordinary, the match is extraordinary, the scoreline is extraordinary. Quickly taken corner. Pogba's come up with the ball, but he'd left a stud in and his name is taken. And this is worthy of a second check as well. Paul Pogba will walk Liverpool's ultimate fantasy, United's utter humiliation. Welcome to Newcastle, where heads are filled with fresh hope and dreams of high-profile European excursion. Tottenham share that same ambition, and are well-versed in achieving it, but theirs is not the position of strength. Just losing out there with a heavy touch. Dima Ais working it wide for Joe Linton. He's got Willock outside it, Joe Linton getting himself into a shooting position, almost a perfect start, it is! It's taken Newcastle a minute, Jacob Murphy. Joe Linton's made an excellent run forward, Romero's let it go, Joe Linton, he's in again! Six minutes of magpie magnificence, and abject Tottenham defending. An absolute stutter from Murphy. Eight and a half minutes in, Newcastle are United three, Tottenham nil. Willock, and he might have got Isaac in here, he has! An extraordinary first quarter of the game. And they're pushing forward again. Oh, they've done it in an instant, double-strike! Two in two minutes for the Swede. Harry Kane bringing it forward. So watching Briefe's share at the moment, he now tries to engage Kane, he's passed him, and it's in the corner. Spurs have won back. Almiron finding Guy Marraich, Longstaff has got Trippier outside him. Five in the penalty area, including Almiron, little poke towards goal, and it's in for six. Newcastle mesmerising, Tottenham tawdry and terrible. Manchester United unbeaten in their last seven games against tonight's opponent, including winning at Old Trafford in December when these sides last met. But in the Premier League era, Manchester United have only once completed a home-and-away double against Chelsea. Kobe Mane's pass was behind Garnaccio, Gustav wasn't able to take advantage of it, but he does get on to Enzo Fernandez's pass here. Little touch off the defender, it fell for Kovic! What a start for Chelsea! Mundryk here for Kukurea, Anthony had to be careful, and he wasn't careful enough. Penalty to Chelsea. I think it's gonna be given, I really do. I don't think you're gonna get away with that one, there's a little bit of contact. Andre Onana, who has conceded all Premier League penalties he's faced so far, and he concedes this one. Chelsea are away to the races, they are up and galloping, a two-goal lead. Oh, mistake by Moises Cacero, and Alejandro Garnaccio is in! And he takes the opportunity! That is massive for Manchester United! Garnaccio, Dalot, good ball, Hojland leaves it, Bruno Fernandez for 2-2! Rashford involved for the first time, releasing Anthony, what a ball, Garnaccio! And what about this, from two goals down tonight, Manchester United turn it around to lead 3-2! Approaching last-chance saloon for Chelsea, Modric, beyond Dalot, Dalot tries to recover! Manchester United were almost there, but in this game, which has continued to spring surprises, there's been a late one in the can. Up against Onana, Cole Palmer, makes the sensible option, and surely salvages a point for Chelsea. No-one marking Palmer again, it's a sensational game! Seven goals leave what you've just seen! The Premier League at its unpredictable best. But if Brentford's start of the season has raised eyebrows, Liverpool's has raised expectations. Early front-runners in their quest to regain the title, their punch and counter-punch has already delivered four knockout blows. Underlining their status amongst the leading contenders. Janout, Norgaard, Canos... Gets it across! Every bar post was there to tap it in! Salah back for Henderson, he was onside! And it's 1-1 almost straight away. Diogo Jota guiding it in from close range, Liverpool back on level terms. Fabinho over the top, it's Moussara! Nothing Raya can do about that one. In from Aja, they're queuing up at the back post! Off the underside of the bar, the rebound just too sharp, and surely that has gone in, it has! Referee checks his watch, the goal is given. And Brentford have got themselves back on level terms. What a strike! Curtis Jones has proved in his young career that he is capable of the spectacular, but they don't come much better than that. Baptiste with the delivery, might yet drop inside that penalty area! And Wieser! It's been a truly amazing game of football as the sixth goal goes in. What an absorbing game of Premier League football. All Premier League games are worth the same three points, but this one, this is worth more than the sum of its parts in this city. Two superpowers of the English game. Today they contest the local bragging rights. This is not going to be just any old 90 minutes. Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Manchester City lead, with seven minutes played! And Haaland leaps, and did it go over the line? The goal line technology confirming that Erling Haaland's attempt had indeed crossed the goal line. De Bruyne, Manchester United trying to get numbers back. Haaland! Two goals in four minutes! As United push forward, look at the gaps at the back. De Bruyne was caught late. Haaland, Foden! Goals in 43 minutes! Great first touch from Anthony. Now the shot's not bad either! Well, hands down the best moment for the visitors of the afternoon so far. De Bruyne. Sergio Gomez. Haaland! Three home games in a row in the Premier League. Three hat-tricks in succession for Erling Haaland. Haaland. Foden. It's another hat-trick! Hat-trick for Haaland, hat-trick for Foden. Job done for Manchester City in the Manchester derby. The humiliation for the visitors continues. Fred, sight of goal. And it'll be followed up by Anthony Martial. This team battling on late on. And the referee points to the spot. This is going to be a penalty. Manchester United may be far, far behind in this race, but they're not giving up. The French Anthony, Anthony Martial, who will attempt to score, and does! A well-taken penalty! And the horse may have bolted, but Manchester United have scored three at the Etihad today. The prospect of a win at Anfield might really show that Tottenham remain a force to be reckoned with. A challenge from Kudoszewski, but he can't hold on to it. Gakpo feeds Mosella. Alexander-Arnold. No-one's marking Jones! The perfect start for Liverpool! Inside three minutes. Mosella for Gakpo. Diaz! They were two minutes and five seconds between the two Liverpool goals. Alexander-Arnold, Gakpo, Diaz shoots, penalty! If you go to ground in the box like that, then you're giving the striker an easy opportunity. On his 300th Liverpool appearance. The Egyptian makes it look easy! Perisic, always got around Van Dijk here. This is Harry Kane! Tottenham get one back! Son is onside here, in behind Van Dijk, and it's 3-2! And now this place has suddenly become very nervous. Son's in swinger, Richarlison! From 3-0 down! It's one of the great Premier League comebacks! The former Evertonian silences the Liverpool crowd on Merseyside. This game looks dead and buried after 15 minutes. And quite how Tottenham have turned this around is beyond me. It's not over yet, Shotter! Full-throttle thriller! And Richarlison's heroics have been erased. And this is bonkers, because Liverpool fans have more or less given up and think, oh, we've thrown away two points. Well, I think that tells you they've rescued them.
