Although in a reduced format due to the postponement, due to Covid, Liverpool-Leeds, Wolverhampton-Watford and Burnley-Everton outbreaks, the Premier League 'Boxing Day' guaranteed goals and spectacle. First of all at the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City went 4-0 (after just 25 minutes of play) against Leicester and then risked being grabbed by the Foxes, who scoring three goals went 4-3 confirming to be a team that never gives up. But then the goals from Laporte and Sterling restored the distance and it ended with a tennis 6-3. For the Citizens it is the ninth consecutive victory. All easy for Antonio Conte's Tottenham, who beat Crystal Palace 3-0 (ten in the second half due to the expulsion of Zaha) in one of the many derbies in London, while another club in the capital, Arsenal,walk and trim the 'manita' (5-0) at Norwich. West Ham lost instead, beaten 3-2 at home by Southampton and now the Hammers have been overtaken by the Spurs of the former Inter coach.
