PL continues to entertain
October of course proved another action-packed month in the English top-flight.
As the delayed Premier League campaign finally began to get into full swing, typical drama, controversy and hearth-in-the-mouth entertainment followed.
Amongst the standout results of the month were Spurs’ 6-1 drubbing of Manchester United at Old Trafford, along with Aston Villa’s 7-2 humbling of champions Liverpool.
Manuel Lanzini’s stunning last-minute equaliser, to complete West Ham’s 3-goal, 10-minute turnaround at Tottenham, meanwhile, will no doubt live long in the memory.
