The ninth No. 1 team this season was born in the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL).
Manchester City won a 5-0 win with Ilkai Gundoan’s multi-goal in the 2020-2021 EPL West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorne Stadium in West Bromwich on the 27th (Korean time). With this, Man City recently reached the top of the league for the first time in the season with 41 points (12 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses) and Manchester United (40 points) with the momentum of 11 consecutive wins in the official game including 7 consecutive wins in the regular league.
According to the EPL, Man City is the ninth team to take first place as of the end of the match day this season. This is the highest EPL record ever. Earlier, in the 1998-1999 season, the 2001-2002 season, the 2002-2003 season, and the 2007-2008 season, eight different teams took first place. This season, even though each team only digested about half of the entire season, the ninth first-place team is having a’everything’ hassle.
Everton and Leicester City took the lead, starting with Arsenal in September, when the new season started, followed by Liverpool in October, Southampton and Tottenham in November, and Chelsea in December. In the new year, Manchester United took the lead, and Man City jumped to the top on the same day. Until this day, the number one place this season has changed 18 times.
EPL interpreted that the league schedule, which allowed fans to play games on TV at home, to play games on multiple days, had some effect on the frequent changes of the 1st place team due to restrictions due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). .
