Liverpool ran riot at Tottenham with a dominant Premier League
performance while Arsenal were left frustrated after dropping two points
against Leicester.
Alberto Moreno's exquisite solo strike capped an excellent Liverpool display as Mauricio Pochettino's perfect start to life at Tottenham came to an abrupt end with a 3-0 defeat.
Brendan Rodgers' side produced the ideal response to Monday's defeat
at Manchester City, with Raheem Sterling, Steven Gerrard and a wonderful
effort from Moreno condemning Spurs to the loss at White Hart Lane.
And the first defeat of the Pochettino era would have been worse was
it not for high-profile debutant Mario Balotelli's clear rustiness on an
afternoon which will have brought back painful memories of last
season's humblings at the hands of the Reds.
Leonardo Ulloa claimed a deserved point for Leicester as they matched Arsenal at the King Power Stadium in a 1-1 draw.
Alexis Sanchez scored his first Premier League goal, only for Ulloa
to instantly level in the first half. However, Ulloa missed a glorious
chance to win it after the break when he fired wide with just Wojciech
Szczesny to beat.
Jamie Vardy was also denied by the goalkeeper as the hosts refused to lie down and let the Gunners stroll towards victory.
And, despite Sanchez's goal, the game underlined Arsenal's desperate
need for striking reinforcements as Yaya Sanogo struggled to make an
impact.
