Manchester United grabbed pole position in the Barclays Premier League table with yet another dominant display in the English Premier League (EPL).

But he was denied the chance to become the first player to score six in the Premier League when coach Manuel Pellegrini substituted him two minutes after his fifth goal.

Sergio Aguero scored five goals in a 20-minute spell as Manchester City used a second-half onslaught to beat Newcastle 6-1 Saturday and provisionally reclaim top spot in the Premier League.

His start during the 2-2 draw with Chelsea was just his third in the league in 2015-16 but, paired alongside Aleksandar Mitrovic up front, the Spaniard looked extremely comfortable.

However Arsenal, led by the talismanic Alexis Sanchez, scored a 5-2 victory; with the Chilean scoring his first goals of the season and finding the net for the first-time in over 14 hours of Premier League footballer.

However, a recent slump has put a few pressure on City.

Gabriel had initially received a three-match ban following his actions in the London derby clash which happened at the brink of the half-time break.

It was that bad. “They’ve had the worst start to a season I can remember, it’s been awful”. At half-time, I said I was sorry I only had three substitutes as I wanted to change six.

Still waiting for his first league win at St James’ Park, in either of his spells in England, Mourinho then went on to suggest that part of the reason is that Newcastle pick their matches.

It was an excruciating moment for the former England boss, who probably thought the Toon Army would rather wage war on the club’s hierarchy – he was wrong.

Citing “awful individual performances” and a first-half display from Chelsea that he rated minus one out of 10, Jose Mourinho was both “relieved” and “disappointed” at Chelsea’s 2-2 draw at Newcastle United here last night.

Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren has saluted the character within the dressing room at St. James’ Park ahead of tomorrow night’s League Cup tie against Sheffield Wednesday.

Porto progressed from the group stage of last season’s Champions League without losing any of their fixtures, while also scoring 16 goals and keeping three clean sheets to finish at the top of their group.
