Premier League Week 7 Review: Man Utd Back on Top For the First Time in Two Years

Lee Davy brings you a full round up of week seven of the greatest footballing league in the world including a return to the top for Manchester United, a stay of execution for Brendan Rodgers, and much more.

Seven weeks into the new Premier League season and Manchester United are back on top for the first time in two years courtesy of a man of the match performance by Wayne Rooney.

England’s all-time top goalscorer ended an 11-game Premier League goal drought, dating back to April, when he scored a tap in either side of strikes by Memphis Depay and Juan Mata handing United a 3-0 win over Sunderland at Old Trafford.

I’ve been critical of United in the past few weeks, in particular their lack of penetration, but they are sticking it to me with three goals in each of their games against Liverpool, Southampton and now Sunderland. United’s victory means The Black Cats Cuddly Kittens are still rooted at the bottom after failing to win any of their first seven matches.
