The English Premier League (EPL) continued to provide plenty of excitement over the weekend, as several players achieved milestone moments and Manchester City continued their impressive run of form.

One of the standout performances of the weekend came from Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland, who scored twice in his team’s 4-0 victory over Schalke. Haaland’s first goal was his 50th for Dortmund, making him the fastest player in the club’s history to reach that milestone.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane also made history, scoring his 20th league goal of the season in a 2-2 draw with Everton. This was the fifth season in a row that Kane has scored 20 or more goals in the league, making him only the second player to achieve this feat after Alan Shearer.

In other matches, Manchester City continued their dominant form, defeating Leicester City 2-0 to maintain their position at the top of the table. Goals from Benjamin Mendy and Gabriel Jesus secured the victory for City, who have now won 15 consecutive matches in all competitions.

Elsewhere, Chelsea secured a vital 2-0 win over Liverpool, with goals from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. The win keeps Chelsea in the top four and gives them a much-needed boost in their bid for Champions League qualification.

The weekend’s results also saw a number of teams continue to struggle, with Sheffield United suffering a 1-0 defeat to Fulham, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table with just 11 points from 28 matches.

Overall, the weekend’s action provided plenty of excitement and drama, with several players achieving landmark moments and several teams continuing to battle it out for the top spots in the league. With plenty of matches still to come, the race for the EPL title is shaping up to be one of the most closely contested in recent years.
