Short updates from EPL

The English Premiership reigning champion, the Red Devils suffer a dent in defending the Premiership title when they lost 1-2 to Liverpool. After getting off a perfect start by scoring goal as early as 3 minutes, United played like a shadow of themselves throughout the game and conceded 2 goals and doomed to a first defeat of the season. Vidic was sent off in the closing minutes of the game. Liverpool has not beaten the Red Devils for the last eight league games, with United won five of them. With the defeat, Sir Alex will have to do a lot of thinking in their next league games. Arsenal continue their impressive form by defeating Blackburn 4-0 while Chelsea beat Manchester City 3-1 at Manchester, by coming from behind with a goal down. Newcastle continue their misery with a 2-1 lost to Hull. Chelsea is now edging Liverpool in the Premier League table with 10 points but on better goal difference and Arsenal third with 9 points. Hull surprises everyone else by getting into top 4 early of the season. The reigning champion now at the bottom half of the table with 4 points from 3 matches.
