LONDON: Chelsea’s step up under Graham Potter continued with a 3-0 win over struggling Wolves at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues followed up their midweek win over AC Milan in the Champions League with another clean sheet in front of their fans.

Potter has brought defensive solidity to Chelsea and Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic and Armando Broja did the rest at the other end.

Erling Haaland continued his incredible run in Manchester City’s 4-0 defeat of Southampton. The Norwegian scored his 20th goal in 12 Premier League and Champions League appearances this season.

He now has 15 goals from 38 shots in the Premier League and needs another 18 from 29 games to break Mo Salah’s 38-game season record from 2017-18.

Pep Guardiola’s City have now won 12 home games in a row and are unbeaten in 21 Premier League matches. Joao Cancelo, Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez had the points safe and secure before Haaland added his own contribution.

Newcastle showed their clinical streak under Eddie Howe as they thrashed Brentford 5-1.

Jacob Murphy, Miguel Almiron, Bruno Guimaraes (two) and Ethan Pinnock scored the goals which condemned the the Bees’ to their biggest defeat since promotion to the Premier League last year.

Pressure continues to pile on Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers after Bournemouth came from behind to secure 2-1 win.

The Cherries are up to ninth in the Premier League table after extending their unbeaten run to five games under caretaker boss Gary O’Neil.

The Foxes have won only once in nine matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding 24.

Tottenham narrowed the gap on rivals Arsenal to a point for 23 hours at least, with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Brighton.

Heung-min Son and Harry Kane linked up for the 43rd time in the Premier League – moving further ahead of Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard (36) as the best partnership – with the England striker heading home his eighth league goal of the campaign.

Antonio Conte’s side have won six of nine matches this season.
