EPL week 8 review: Palace upset the champions, City sink Stoke, Wenger woe

Another round-up of the action from the greatest footballing league in the world, including Crystal Palace upsetting the champions, Man City hammering Stoke, and Arsene Wenger whinging again this time at Watford. 

Man City 7 v 2 Stoke City

Opposing managers must feel their intestines drain at the thought of stopping Kevin De Bruyne. If the Premier League were handing out the Player of the Year (POY) trophy eight games in, the Belgian would win it with his eyes closed.

Stoke boss, Mark Hughes, called De Bruyne the best player in the Premier League ‘by a country mile,’ after Man City mauled his side by seven goals to two at the Etihad Stadium, opening up a two-point gap at the top after Man Utd only managed a goalless draw with Liverpool.
