City only unbeaten EPL side after Man U loses

LONDON — Manchester City comfortably beat Burnley 3-0 to remain the only unbeaten side in the English Premier League after Manchester United lost at Huddersfield 2-1 on Saturday.

It was the first time in 65 years that Huddersfield beat United, which was made to pay dearly for defensive errors.

Chelsea came from behind to beat Watford 4-2 thanks to two late goals, and avoided a third straight league defeat.

City stretched its lead to five points more than its fellow Manchester club. Third-placed Tottenham can draw level with United if it beats Liverpool on Sunday.

Sergio Aguero set City on its way to victory with a first-half penalty before goals from Nicolas Otamendi and Leroy Sane ensured their side equaled the club record of 11 consecutive victories in all competitions.

Aguero became City’s joint top goal-scorer with Eric Brook, whose record of 177 has stood for 78 years.

LATE RELIEF

Substitute Michy Batshuayi scored twice as Chelsea fought back from behind to win a six-goal thriller against Watford.

Pedro’s superb strike put the home side in front after they were wrongly awarded a corner, but Abdoulaye Doucoure and Roberto Pereyra scored either side of halftime for visiting Chelsea.

Watford wasted chances to extend its advantage before Batshuayi headed in the equalizer.

Cesar Azpilicueta gave Chelsea the lead again three minutes from time and Batshuayi doubled his tally in stoppage time to secure victory for the defending champion.
