LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Liverpool made it five wins from five in the Premier League after coming from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-1 at Anfield, while Manchester United earned a first victory since the opening weekend of the season by beating Leicester City.
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur were much more emphatic, however, with a hat-trick from Tammy Abraham firing Frank Lampard's side to a 5-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, while first-half goals gave Spurs a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Roberto Firmino came off the bench to replace the injured Divock Origi to set up Mane for the second goal, before the Brazilian delightfully flicked the ball through for Mo Salah to seal a 14th consecutive league win for the hosts. "Then the third goal wonderful but we had even better moments we didn’t finish off. There were some nice football moments today."
Unbeaten Leicester had more possession, forcing David de Gea into fine saves in the United goal, but the visitors could not find a way through, as the resilient hosts held on for a slender victory that moves them up to fourth in the table.
