Premier League: Morata scores hat trick against stoke

The week six of the English Premier League (EPL) was not short of excitement as all the big guns won their matches.  However, the Manchester teams are still at the summit with a huge and a thin victory apiece

While Manchester City rained goals at the Etihad Stadium; crushing Crystal Palace 5-0, Manchester United faced a difficult battle, managing a lone goal win away to Southampton.

The results mean that City and United both have 16 points from six games but Pep Guardiola’s team have a superior goal difference, making them sit top of the table.

Elsewhere, defending champions, Chelsea, remain three points behind, sitting third on the table after beating Stoke 4-0 at the bet365 Stadium, with Alvaro Morata scoring a hat-trick to secure a third straight away win for the Blues.

Chelsea opened the scoring inside just 90 seconds with Cesar Azpilicueta playing a ball over the top to Morata, who raced in on goal and slotted home.

Pedro added a second on the half-hour mark, finding the bottom corner after latching onto a loose ball, before Morata bagged his second 12 minutes from time, scoring from a tight angle after beating two men.

The Spain international then completed his hat-trick 4 minutes later, with Azpilicueta teeing him up once more and the striker picking out the back of the net.
