London -
The two top title favorites in England, Liverpool (1st) and Manchester City (2nd), had a comfortable Saturday, with seven goals between them and none conceded. Liverpool won 3-0 against Burnley.
In the standings, Liverpool remains in first place with a two-point lead over City.
Last year's runners-up with 97 points, Jürgen Klopp's 'Reds' know they have little room for error. And against Burnley (11th), they didn't forgive. Liverpool sealed their fourth victory in four games (goals by Chris Wood (own goal), Senegalese Sadio Mané, and Brazilian Roberto Firmino).
The reigning European champions close out an almost perfect August, in which they also won the UEFA Super Cup.
Liverpool showed no signs of the pressure that had been put on them hours earlier by Pep Guardiola's City.
