Premier League table update: Liverpool up to second

Liverpool and Chelsea both won Saturday. Here’s how the table looks after the six Week 7 games so far.

Liverpool rode their luck during Saturday’s early kickoff against Swansea. The Swans took the lead against a lethargic looking Reds side in the first half thanks to a Leroy Fer finish. The Reds didn’t record a shot on target in the first half, but stepped things up in the second. Roberto Firmino equalized with a head before James Milner won the game from the spot.

Chelsea also struggled in the first half against Hull and also failed to record a single shot on target. Hull created a few decent chances, the most notable coming from a Robert Snodgrass free-kick, but the Blues dominated in the second half. Willian opened the scoring with an excellent finish from the top of the box and Diego Costa made it two from a very similar spot.

Sunderland scored in the last minute to draw 1-1 with West Brom, while Watford and Bournemouth played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Vicarage road.

Everton took on Crystal Palace in the Friday game. Ronald Koeman’s side had to settle for a 1-1 draw after taking the lead through Romelu Lukaku.
