The English Premier League’s top winners this week
The English Premier League witnesses every week some winners and some losers. This time out the expectations were very high, as the clubs had spent millions of pounds to induct new faces and some of
those put immediate impact. Here are enlisted some of the top winners of the League’s latest round.

If you can't go over them, go under.
According to Opta Stats, 52 percent of the free kicks in the League this season have failed to go beyond the wall. But the stat didn’t apply to former Manchester
United midfielder as his cheeky free kick found its way past the wall and past the keeper. It surely was audacious, it surely was cheeky but achieved the maximum.

He surely is the most underrated striker in the Premier League. The England striker is rated among the most lethal goal machines in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 if not the world
and guarantees goals irrespective of the opposition. His latest goal against United was his second in three matches and the third against United in as many years, and his fourth against teams currently occupying the top four spots in the League this season.
Luis Suarez
This truly could be another Anfield fairytale, the Kop has a new hero, the club shop a new poster boy and, above all, Liverpool have a new goal scorer.
Suarez only took 15 minutes in making his mark in the Premier League, he marked his debut in England with a goal and has instantly hit the right chords with the Lime Street faithfuls.
His arrival from the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 was overshadowed by the exorbitant amount of money paid for the transfer of Andy Carrlo but the Uruguayan has a goal scoring
pedigree that cannot be denied.
Liverpool secured his transfer for 22 million pounds, a few million more and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 would have broken their transfer record twice in four hours. But
at the moment they must be thinking that 22 million pounds is only a fair price to pay for a player who scored 81 goals in his last 110 competitive appearances.
Kenny Dalglish
Dalglish may be a manager preferring old ethos of a 4-4-2 formation but he, by no means, is a stickler. He was aware of his opponent’s aerial threat in
the last game and tackled by putting in three central defenders to counter that. He also played a centre back in the midfield to startle their midfield and did so with remarkable ease.
His formation and choice of players against Stoke Wednesday was, by no means, conventional but achieved optimum outcome.
Liverpool
They are back and anyone doubting so can do so at their own peril. Three wins in three and back in the hunt for European places. The gap between them and
a European place is just two points and who can doubt them on overtaking Sunderland in the coming weeks but the real test is going to come against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at the weekend but on the evidence of their last performance, they are well-equipped to deal with anything
right now.
Manchester United
At Home: Played 13, Won 12, Drawn 1, Lost 0.
Away from Home: Played 11, Won 3, Drawn 8, Lost 0.
After Barcelona’s latest win in the Spanish La Liga and Real Madrid loss to Ossauna same day, a Spanish daily urged the Spanish FA to issue a letter to
FCB asking them to come and collect the La Liga trophy from their office anytime they wanted.
It was to suggest that there was no catching Barcelona in the League anymore and same can be said about Manchester United this season as they have hit the
top gear and are demolishing anyone on their way with clinical perfection.
It only remains to be seen if they can go on and match the ‘Invincibles’ of 2004 and go through the whole season unbeaten.
