523, you chase me
While United were crowned League Cup champions, his opponents didn't stop there.
First-placed Chelsea won 3-1 at home to Swansea City.
They continued their winning streak.
Tottenham beat Stoke City 4-0 to get a win as well.
Arsenal's opponent is Southampton.
Because of the Carabao Cup final, this game was postponed, like the Manchester City derby.
In another key match, Liverpool lost 1:3 to Leicester City.
Last season's defending champions finally scored and finally won. For the first time since the New Year, they scored and won games in the league. Jurgen Klopp's side are truly philanthropists in the Premier League.
The game once again exposed the flaws in Liverpool's backline.
When Lovren missed the game due to injury, the defensive combination of Lucas Rewa and Joel Matip was full of holes.
Their goalkeepers, whether they are Simon Mignolet or Karius, are not reassuring.
In the eyes of many English media, Liverpool's backline is similar to Manchester United. After Manchester United's new signing Manolas slowly integrated into the team, Manchester United's defensive strength gradually improved, and Liverpool is still the same Liverpool.
Liverpool's attacking ability up front is quite luxurious.
This may be the reason why Liverpool are still in the top six of the league so far.
However, compared to Manchester United, Liverpool's attacking ability is obviously a notch behind.
Whether it is the old and strong Ibrahimovic or Chu Ge, who carried the team's attacking banner early, there are no players in the Liverpool team who can compete with them.
"If Liverpool wants to get a better result, it is very important to strengthen the defense and improve the team's ability to score goals."
"Old rivals Manchester United have started to have a revival, Liverpool can't sink like this anymore!"
After the defeat to Leicester City, Liverpool's local media, The Echo, criticised their team.
Klopp is also reflecting.
If he doesn't solve the problem of team stability, his team will always be a spoiler in the league, not a real contender for the league title.
……
Chu Ge was on the team bus back to Manchester when he learned of Liverpool's loss.
But.
His focus is not on Liverpool's loss.
In Chu Ge's view, Liverpool are no match for Manchester United.
At least not this season.
After losing to Leicester City, Liverpool have 48 points in 26 league rounds. They are bottom of the Premier League's BIG6 table, with Arsenal with a game in hand on 50 points, not to mention Tottenham with 53 points and Manchester City with 52 points.
Manchester United currently have 58 league points.
They are five points ahead of third-placed Tottenham Hotspur and are relatively secure in second place in the league.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are at the top of the table with a staggering 63 points after a win in this round.
With 26 rounds of games and 63 league points, an average of 2.423 league points per round, this kind of point-grabbing efficiency puts pressure on all other championship opponents.
They are five points ahead of Manchester United and as many as 10 points ahead of Tottenham.
Ferguson's first season back at Manchester United, and Chu Ge's first season in the Premier League, were met against such an unreasonable opponent who grabbed points.
It's hellish difficulty.
The title battle with Chelsea was put aside for the time being, and what made Chu Ge feel a little embarrassed was that Leicester City, who won Liverpool, was not Leicester City of Ranieri.
Prior to this game, Ranieri, the veteran coach who built immortal feats for Leicester City, was sacked.
And in the first game after the departure of the old coach, Vardy and other players seemed to have regained their long-lost form all of a sudden. In the match against Liverpool, Vardy, who had been bullied by Manolas, scored two goals to lead the Foxes to their first win since the new year.
The meritorious coach resigned, and the team won a big victory, Chu Ge seems to have seen such a plot.
He was a little emotional.
……
The story of what happened in this round was not only the departure of Claudio Ranieri and the victory of Leicester City, but also Kane's hat-trick.
After a period of slump in the early stages of the league, Kane once again announced his return with a goal.
After the hat-trick, Kane's league goal tally has quietly accumulated to 17.
The number of goals scored by Chu Ge is stuck at 18.
The goal gap between the two is only one goal!
"The battle for the top scorer is getting hot!"
The Times made such a headline.
In the current league scorer list, Chu Ge leads the list with 18 goals. Behind Chu Ge, Arsenal's Alessis Sanchez, Tottenham's Kane and Everton's "Little Monster" Lukaku all scored 17 goals, and Chelsea's Diego Costa also scored 16 goals.
From Chugo to Costa, the goal gap between the five players is just two goals combined.
Compared to Chelsea's obvious advantage in the league, the battle for the league's top scorer is much more intense.
"Who will be the top scorer this season?"
The Daily Mail launched an investigation after this round.
The number of fans who participated in the survey was overwhelming.
In less than two days, more than 400,000 people participated.
Chu Ge ranked first by a narrow margin.
Kane, the Golden Boot of last year's league, and Costa, the top team of the league, are second and third respectively.
"Chu is the best player in the league and he will be the top scorer this season!"
"The hat-trick in the League Cup final fully proves that Chu is the best!"
"Being able to score such a beautiful goal, Chu is amazing, I vote for him!"
This is the view of Chu Ge's supporters.
"From the beginning of the huge advantage, now gradually caught up, he will lose the Golden Boot."
'At the beginning people were new to him, so it was easy for him to score goals. Now Chu's goals are getting fewer and fewer, proving that other teams' targeting of him is starting to work. I think the Golden Boot will be Kane. ”
"Winning the Golden Boot in the first season of the Premier League? This is unlikely to happen. ”
"Chu is very strong, so I choose Kane."
There are not a few people who are not optimistic about Chu Ge winning the league golden boot.
Compared with the league title battle, which seems to be less suspenseful, fans are more enthusiastic about this season's Golden Boot competition.
Many fans are debating who is the strongest scorer in the league this season.
And this debate became even more heated after the next round of the league.
March 4.
The 27th round of the Premier League begins.
In the first game, Manchester United, who had just won the Carabao Cup, continued to win.
At Old Trafford, Chu Ge scored a goal to give Manchester United a 2-1 win over Bournemouth.
His league tally rose to 19.
The next day, Tottenham Hotspur host Everton.
The final score of the match was 3:2.
Tottenham won.
Kane scored twice.
