Manchester City got three vital points in their fight to follow the wake of Liverpool after tracing Chelsea (2-1) in the most attractive game of the thirteenth day in the Premier League , while José Mourinho premiered his career as a Tottenham coach with a win at home against West Ham.

In Etihad, Pep Guardiola's team had to wear the work overalls to end Chelsea, Valencia's next rival in 'Champions'. The 'citizens' began losing with a bit of N'Golo Kanté at 20 minutes of the game, but Kevin de Bruyne set the equalizer before reaching half an hour and gave his people peace of mind.

Before arriving in the second half, the City sentenced the 'blues' with a goal from Riyad Mahrez, a wonderful left - footed shot that slipped through the stick farthest from the goal defended by Kepa. Chelsea tried in the final act, but it was the Guardiola team that had more options to have -even- extended the rent.

In this way, the City has 28 points and is nine in a Liverpool that did not fail at home. Despite this, Jurgen Klopp needed a saving goal from Roberto Firmino five minutes from the end to take all three points on his visit to Crystal Palace. The first of the 'reds' was signed by Sadio Mané.

The second classified, Leicester City, also did not lose rope in his match against Brighton (0-2). Brendan Rodgers continues to surprise and be very reliable in this Premier. The Spaniard Ayoze Pérez and Jamie Vardy , on penalty, were the scorers in a very comfortable match for Leicester.

In addition, José Mourinho debuted Tottenham with a victory in a match that was much simpler than the score says (2-3). The 'spurs' got 0-3, with goals from Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane , who were canceled somewhat in a doubtful position in the first half, but West Ham reacted in the final stretch by adding spicy to meet. Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna scored without a prize for the 'hammers'.

In other games this Saturday he highlighted the triumph of Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Bournemouth house thanks to the goals of Joao Moutinho and Raúl Jiménez, the former Atlético de Madrid. The victory leaves them in fifth position, while Burnley was very strong against Watford (0-3) to stay in sixth place.
