It's a very misleading scoreline. United were far from convincing defensively.

I agree. Despite the second half being 3-0 to United, Everton had some quality chances and were arguably the better side for most of it.

City is the team that has impressed me most so far, but they always tend to start out strong.

I lasted about 20 seconds before I had to stop it. Spurs had one of these, **** hell that was embarrassing.

I’m curious why City didn’t just sign Aurier. A player who is this talented must be a total headcase for so many big teams to be wary of him.

Btw, Antonio coming off is great for us.

Kane scores, but West ham should have had a penalty earlier.

2-0. Had Alli backheeled that to Kane it would have been a Guti & Benzema goal.

So true, opens everything up. Antonio coming off helped though. Ruined West Ham’s gameplan.

Also led to Carrol coming on, who had the bad pass to set up the first goal.

How on earth was that a West Ham free-kick? Noble was yanking at Eriksen's shirt for dear life

Aurier sent off, this is going a bit pear shaped

Yeah, just no need to do that with a yellow at that part of the pitch. Not like a desperation tackle was needed.
