3-2! 4-2! The Premier League is in complete chaos: the newly promoted team reaches the top two, and Manchester United wins three consecutive games to overtake Liverpool

In the early morning of October 26, the ninth round of the Premier League ended with many exciting contests. In this round, the defending champion Liverpool and the favorite Chelsea overturned, and the Premier League championship situation was completely disrupted!

Chelsea, the first team to play, ushered in the newly promoted Sunderland team this round. In the past few seasons, the newly promoted Premier League teams often played the role of accompanying the prince to study, and it was difficult to make any waves, but the situation this season is completely different. The three promoted teams, Sunderland, Leeds United and Burnley, have all escaped the relegation zone, with Sunderland still at the top of the standings.

This round was an away game against Chelsea, the favorite to win the championship. Although Sunderland's goal was lost in the first 4 minutes, they did not panic at all. First, in the 22nd minute, Sunderland took advantage of a side kick opportunity to create chaos in the Chelsea penalty area. Isidore seized the opportunity and scored from close range to help the team equalize the score. In the stoppage time of the game, Sunderland made another sharp counterattack. Taleby received an assist from Brobey and easily pushed the shot through the net, helping Sunderland to complete the victory at the last moment, and took away 3 points from Chelsea in an upset!

After winning this game, Sunderland temporarily rose to second place in the standings with 17 points, only 2 points behind Arsenal at the top. It seems that not only do they not have to worry about relegation, they can even think about entering the European competition!

Manchester United, which came on the scene next, welcomed the league powerhouse Brighton at home. I don’t know if it was the victory over Liverpool in the last round that allowed the Red Devils to regain their confidence. In this game, Manchester United completely suppressed their opponents. Goals from Cunha, Casemiro and Mbeumo gave them an early 3-0 lead, almost killing the suspense of the game in advance. But how could Manchester United's game always go smoothly? After replacing several main players one after another, Manchester United's situation began to gradually get out of control. Brighton seized the opportunity to score two goals in a row, once closing the point difference to 1 goal. Fortunately, Mbeumo's stoppage time goal successfully stabilized the morale of the army. In the end, Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2, successfully won three consecutive league victories, and overtook their archrival Liverpool in the rankings, temporarily entering the top four in the standings.

If someone had said in the previous rounds that Manchester United would overtake Liverpool in the Premier League rankings this season one day in the future, then everyone would definitely think that this person was dreaming. However, Liverpool made this scene a reality with their four-game losing streak in the league. In the away game against Brentford, Salah, who was substituted in midweek, returned to the starting lineup again, but his appearance did not bring much help to Liverpool's offense. Brentford relied on strong hand-throwing tactics and a sharp counterattack to successfully take a 2-0 lead, firmly holding the initiative in the game in their own hands.

Kyle Kez's goal before half-time gave Liverpool fans hope of a comeback victory, but team captain Van Dijk's points in the second half frustrated everyone's hopes once again. Thiago hit the penalty kick steadily, expanding the score to 3-1. Although Salah scored a goal at the last minute, there was little game time left. In the end, Brentford defeated Liverpool 3-2, giving the Red Army an embarrassing four-game losing streak in the league.

After this wave of losing streak, Liverpool's ranking has slipped to 6th in the standings, and head coach Slott's position has become no longer stable. If he cannot lead the team out of the slump in time, the Dutch coach may become a "scapegoat" and be forced to hand over his coach.
