It has been yet another pulsating weekend in the Premier League, following its timely return from the international break.
With goals galore, and key events happening at the top and bottom of the league standings, there have been several talking points from this weekend’s matches.
Here at SillySeason, we’ll take a detailed look at the five things which caught our eyes from England’s top-tier over the course of the weekend.
STERLING NETS HIS MANCHESTER CITY HAT-TRICK
Raheem Sterling showed why Manchester City paid the amount they did for him in the Citizens’ 5-1 victory at home to newly-promoted, AFC Bournemouth.
Sterling netted his first-half treble in emphatic style, with City subsequently returning to winning ways, and the top of the league table, following a tricky couple of encounters for the Sky Blues.
It was a mature, professional performance from the 20-year-old, who had previously flattered to deceive since his £44m move from Liverpool early in the summer – but netted his first career hat-trick, putting the Cherries to the sword.
