Liverpool: Most Outstanding English Premier League Team On Match Day 8

Liverpool were the most outstanding English Premier League (EPL) team last week, Match Day 8. The Reds were in blistering form away from home against their host, Watford United.

The Reds under the tutelage of their Manager, Jurgen Klopp proved that they have what it takes to win the EPL at the end of the current campaign. Liverpool, also known as 'The Kop' hammered Watford with five unreplied goals.

The Reds came to Vicarage Road, home of Watford United with a winning mentality. They knew they had to earn the maximum three points, and indeed they got the job done.

A good number of EPL fans and pundits surely would agree with me that Liverpool were clearly the favourite team last week. It was not just because they secured a 5-0 win over Watford. It was simply the way they instilled their dominance over their host, played entertaining football, as well as proved their title credentials.

Watford might have sensed the danger before the game started. There was however, nothing they could do against the attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. The three musketeers of Liverpool, which were Salah, Firmino and Mane together punished Watford.

Liverpool gave newly appointed Watford gaffer, Claudio Ranieri a bitter welcome party to the Premier League. Ranieri, who had managed EPL sides of Chelsea and Leicester in the past tasted defeat as new Watford boss on home soil. Sadio Mane did not waste time as he slotted home the first goal for Liverpool in the eighth minute. Roberto Firmino bagged a hat trick by netting in the 37th, 52nd and 91st minutes.

The Reds current top goalscorer, Salah was not left out of the goal scoring party. The Egyptian found the back of the net in the 54th minute, to make it his seventh EPL goal for this season.

Liverpool will file out this Sunday against their arch-rival, Manchester United in an important EPL game at Old Trafford. The odds favour The Reds to beat their opponent based on their current form. How will things turn out? Will it be a demolition of Man United? The answers to these questions will be answered on Sunday, October 24 time as Man United play host to high flying Liverpool.

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions. In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century. Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally. 2. Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched. Pele scored a Guinness World Record of...

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected in June last year, following the primaries of the ruling party. Before Tinubu's emergence, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party had set up a committee led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun to screen the presidential aspirants. More so, all the presidential aspirants had bought, filled and returned the nomination form. The nomination form, also known as the presidential form was on the high side, as the ruling party charged millions of naira. A good number of Nigerians criticised the APC for the high cost of its expression of interest and nomination forms for the presidential nomination, as well as for governorship, house of representatives and for state house of assembly. Moneybags slugged it out become APC candidate Some concerned Nigerians, who have keen interest in the political affairs of the country stated that only APC members with deep pockets would buy the party's ...
