Jordan Henderson gave the visitors the lead against Everton at Goodison Park, but two goals by Mohamed Salah confirmed the dominance – and Diogo Jota then completed the work with the 4-1 goal with ten minutes left of regular time.
Two matches were canceled after emergencies. The meeting between Watford and Chelsea was the first to be interrupted when the team played just under a quarter. The players were sent back to the locker rooms and the medical team assisted one person in the stands.
When then announced that the condition had stabilized and the person was taken to a nearby hospital, the medical team received warm applause and the match resumed. For a while, it looked like Chelsea would lose points against Watford, but that put a stop to Hakim Ziyeck in the 73rd minute when he gave Chelsea the 2-1 lead that stood out the match. Chelsea now top the Premier League table, closely followed by Manchester City, who won against Aston Villa 2-1 during the evening, and Liverpool.
The match between Southampton and Leicester was also delayed due to a medical emergency in the crowd during the half-time break. Details about the spectator’s condition were not made public, but the match resumed shortly and the team each got a point with the 2-2 result.
