Shortly after Manchester United defeated Liverpool away from home, the remaining three games of this round of Premier League whistled at the same time. In a match played at the Sports Direct Stadium, the Magpies Newcastle defeated Canary Norwich 1:0 at home. In another game at White Hart Lane, Tottenham defeated Queens Park Rangers 2:1 at home.

The last game is another highlight of this round, with the upstart Premier League Manchester City facing the Gunners Arsenal at home. In the first half, Gervinho missed a single shot and Lescott took advantage of the corner kick opportunity to score a header. Lescott made a mistake in the second half, and Koscielny took the opportunity to equalize the score. The two sides eventually tied at 1:1.

This is a lose-lose game. Manchester City suffered two consecutive draws in the league, and its ranking dropped from 4th to 6th; Arsenal received its third draw of the new season, and its ranking slipped from 3rd to 4th.

At this point, the fifth round of the Premier League has ended. Manchester United leads the way with five consecutive victories, and also has a huge advantage in goal difference, with a full 14 goal differences. Chelsea and Arsenal, who are second in goal difference, only have 7, which is exactly half of Manchester United.

Di Matteo's Blues have performed well this season, with 4 wins and 1 draw in the first 5 rounds, trailing Manchester United by two points. The third-ranked team is quite unexpected. With a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, West Brom has squeezed into the top three with 10 points.

In the Premier League scorer list, Bell topped the list with 8 goals. The second ranked player is still a Manchester United player. General Van Persie ranked second with 5 goals. The two scored 13 goals together, accounting for 65% of all Manchester United's goals.

Ranking third in the Premier League scorer list is not a star player, but Michu, who has suddenly emerged in the Swansea team. He scored 4 goals in the first five rounds.

Also scoring 4 goals were Bell’s former teammate Tottenham forward Defoe, Bell’s other old club Southampton forward Lambert, Newcastle forward Demba Ba, and Black Cat Sunderland forward Steven Fry. thorough.

Among them, Steven Fletcher is the most awesome, because the number of goals he scores is the number of goals scored by the entire Sunderland team!

In addition, Bell also occupies the top spot in the Premier League assists list. He and Chelsea's core midfielder Hazard both sent 4 assists, but Bell took the top spot in the assists list with less playing time.

As for the shooting list, it is occupied by Bell and Liverpool forward Suarez. The Uruguayan leads the way with 25 shots in the first 5 rounds, but his number of goals is a bit embarrassing. 25 shots only resulted in 1 goal.

This season's Premier League is a bit confusing, because after 5 rounds, there are actually 5 teams that are still undefeated. Manchester United, which has won five consecutive games, naturally occupies one of them. The other four teams are Chelsea, who have four wins and one draw, Arsenal and Manchester City, who have two wins and three draws, and Sunderland, who have four consecutive draws!

The Black Cats' match against Reading in the second round was postponed due to heavy rain. In the remaining four league games, they achieved four draws and can be called draw experts.

However, Sunderland is not the only one who has achieved 4 draws so far. The Sky City Stoke City has also achieved 4 draws. If they had not lost 1:0 to Chelsea in this round, they even almost won. 5 draws in a row.

………………

The schedule between the two international matches is very intensive. Three days after Manchester United visited Liverpool, they ushered in another game. In the third round of the League Cup this season, Manchester United faced Newcastle at home.

The day before this game, bad news came from Manchester United. The official Manchester United website announced that captain Vidic would stay away from the game for two months due to surgery.

After suffering serious injuries last season, Vidic's condition has not only gotten worse, but his body has also become increasingly fragile. Vidic played 5 times in the new season. After participating in the Champions League and Galatasaray, Vidic found that his knee was uncomfortable, and what awaited him in the end was such a serious blow.

This is the second tragedy for Manchester United in 20 days in which a player was re-injured even after he was close to full recovery. Phil Jones was recovering from a summer injury, but was re-injured earlier this month.

He had to undergo knee meniscus surgery and was sidelined for two months.

Vidic, like Phil Jones, also underwent meniscus surgery this time.

In addition, youngster Smalling is not expected to recover until mid-October after undergoing metatarsal surgery. At present, Sir Alex Ferguson is really stretched in the central defender position.

Because Tottenham will face the challenge at the weekend, and will have to travel thousands of miles to challenge the Romanian team Cluj away from home next week, Ferguson has made extensive rotations in the lineup for this League Cup. Goalkeeper De Gea, back four Valencia, Michael Keane, Scott Wootton and Vermeer, three midfielders Cleverley, Fletcher and Pogba, three forwards Rooney, El Nandez and Welbeck.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Newcastle 2:1 with Pogba's goal at the last minute of the first half and Cleverley's goal in the 58th minute of the second half. Cisse pulled one back for Newcastle in the 62nd minute of the second half. .

………………

Three days passed again, and at 5:30 pm local time on September 29, Manchester United faced Bell's old club Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Because he is going to Romania in the middle of the week, and the opponent is Manchester United's point-delivering boy Tottenham, Ferguson did not line up the strongest lineup at the beginning. Modric, Sneijder, Rooney and Bale and other main players They both sat on the bench, with Giggs and Scholes starting together.

In the end, Manchester United's starting lineup was goalkeeper Lindegaard, four backs Rafael, Evans, Ferdinand and Evra, three midfielders Carrick, Kante and Scholes, and three forwards Evra. A combination of Hernandez, Van Persie and Giggs.

Ferguson's confidence in arranging such a formation comes from Manchester United's good record against Tottenham. In the Premier League era, Tottenham visited the Theater of Dreams 20 times with 3 draws and 17 losses without a win. In fact, Manchester United has won 9 consecutive home games against Tottenham in the league.

However, when the game started, Tottenham's performance surprised Ferguson.

In the first half of the game, Tottenham got off to a fantastic start. In the 2nd minute, Belgian full-back Vertonghen received a pass from his teammate and dribbled the ball from the left rib into the penalty area. There was an obvious loophole in Manchester United's defense. Vertonghen shot with his right foot into the near corner from 7 meters away. The ball hit Evans. Changing lines into the net, Tottenham leads 1:0.

In the 32nd minute, Dembele passed the ball in an arc from the center circle. Tottenham's young player Harry Kane took the ball and rushed in at high speed. He easily got rid of Ferdinand and then hit the right foot of the penalty area with his right foot and scored in the lower left corner of the goal to help Tottenham 2: 0 lead.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ferguson chose to make a substitution in midfield and replaced Giggs with Bale.

In the 51st minute, Van Persie scored the ball from the right rib. Bell passed the ball from the wing. Scholes shot with his left foot from the edge of the small penalty area. The ball went under Friedel and into the net. Manchester United got a goal back.

But 1 minute later, Tottenham scored again. In the 52nd minute, Defoe took control of a long pass and then passed through. Harry Kane shot hard from the left side of the penalty area. Lindegaard blocked the ball and the placement was poor. Dempsey arrived in time with his right foot without interference. The push shot into the empty goal rewritten the score to 3:1. This was also the first time Tottenham defeated Manchester United three times at the Theater of Dreams since October 1989.

However, the game then entered Bell's performance time.

………………

In the 53rd minute, Van Persie sent a good ball through the left rib. Bell turned around in the small penalty area and got rid of Walker with his left foot and shot diagonally into the lower right corner, triggering a decisive blow and scoring Manchester United's second goal of the game.

Manchester United and Tottenham scored three goals together in three minutes, directly pushing the goal battle to a climax. The atmosphere was suffocating! This is the first time in 17 months that such an exciting scene has occurred in the Premier League.

Immediately, Bell's low shot from outside the penalty area missed the right post.

In the 58th minute, Rooney tried a long shot but was directly confiscated by Friedel. One minute later, Bell took the ball on the left side of the penalty area and was knocked down by Walker in the penalty area. Referee Foy refused to award a penalty kick.

In the 61st minute, Manchester United got a free kick from 28 meters in the middle. Robin van Persie covered it and Bell shot with his right foot. The ball flew over the wall and hit the left post.

In the 61st minute, Manchester United got a free kick from 28 meters in the middle. Robin van Persie covered it and Bell shot with his right foot. The ball flew over the wall and hit the left post.

In the 63rd minute, Bell sent out another assist and passed the ball in front of the goal to help Van Persie score, and the score became 33.

This was definitely a selfless pass, because Bell himself was in a pretty good starting position, but he chose Van Persie who was in a better position, so after the goal, Van Persie took the lead in rushing towards Bell.

Ten minutes later, Rooney received a pass from substitute Sneijder at the back point and scored again.

In the end, the Red Devils stubbornly reversed Tottenham Hotspur with a score of 43 after falling behind several times.

After Bell came on as a substitute in the second half, he has been closely marked by Tottenham Hotspur. Villas-Boas developed a set of marking tactics tailored for him, but it still failed to prevent Bell from scoring.
