Game of the Week
Hull City 0 v 1 Manchester United
- Desperate defending by Hull proved to no avail as United scored in injury time but they will not be first to crack 100 goals for in ‘Fergie Time’
- Rashford is youngest PL goalscorer by a player managed by Mourinho
- Rooney now has had a goal and/or assist in six successive league games, a sequence unmatched by him since December 2013
Biggest Upset
None really. The three top positions are already occupied by the pre-season favourites and the promoted clubs’ good showing in the first two rounds was not repeated
Chart of Week
It is hard to believe that Alan Pardew would have survived Palace’s worst ever spell of just 2 wins in 24 league games unless you take into account
- He is a former player
- The dismal run straddled two seasons and a transfer window
- Last year’s FA Cup run
- Palace fans don’t expect them to stay in top flight five years
