London, October 23 (Xinhua) -- The Premier League football field ushered in the first and last battle of the standings on the 23rd, and the "leader" Chelsea blew up a goal storm at home, hitting the "vice president" Norwich City 7:0. Manchester City played steadily away from home, beating Brighton, who had only lost one of their first eight rounds, 4-1.

At Stamford Bridge that day, the "Blues", who were not the top lineup, remained strong against Norwich City, who had won 2-6. Just eight minutes into the opening, Hudson-Odoi broke through quickly on the left and crossed, Jonginho distributed the ball to Mount on the edge of the penalty area, and the England midfielder scored a powerful shot. Ten minutes later, Hudson-Odoi received Kovacic's low shot from the far corner and the score became 2-0.
Attacking, defensively and unfocused, the visiting team was hit again before the end of the first half, and Mount once again received a cross from Italian midfielder Jorginho, this time assisting his "Three Lions" teammate James to pick out the net, and Chelsea entered the second half with a three-goal lead.
Easy to fight again, the home team's offensive has not decreased. Left-back Chilwell added a point in the 57th minute before Hudson-Odoi's cross was blocked by the opposing player. After that, Gibson shoved James behind his back and received a second yellow card, making Norwich City even more difficult. In the final stage, Mount scored two more goals to complete the "hat trick", and the score was finally fixed at 7:0.
It is worth noting that 22-year-old Mount, 21-year-old James and 20-year-old Hudson-Odoi are all from Chelsea's youth training.
The "Blues" continue to lead with a two-point advantage, followed by Manchester City, who also took all three points. City, who visited Brighton, took the lead in the 13th minute by German midfielder Gundogan. Since then, England rising star Foden has scored two goals in three minutes to quickly extend the score to 3:0.
