Everton, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Burnley and Chelsea won in the Premier League on Wednesday. Wayne Rooney scored a hat-trick and his third was shot from his own half.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola burst onto the field with his fists clenched and leapt into the air. Benjamin Mendy, currently out with a long-term knee injury, hobbled down the touchline in a desperate bid to get a selfie with teammate and match-winner Raheem Sterling.
Ninety meters away, Southampton’s players were on their backs in their own area, distraught at conceding in the sixth minute of injury time.
In a wild finale that sparked an extraordinary explosion of joy from City’s players and coaching staff, Sterling curled home a last-gasp goal with virtually the last kick of the game to give the Premier League leaders a 2-1 victory over Southampton on Wednesday.

“It was an astonishing end to the game,” said Guardiola, who was told to calm down by the referee amid his frenzied celebrations. “It means a lot.”

Rooney had already scored two goals, one from the penalty spot, on what proved to be a painful return to Goodison Park for West Ham manager David Moyes, who spent 11 years in charge of Everton (2002-13). Ashley Williams scored the fourth goal as Everton moved five points clear of the relegation zone.

Alexander Lacazette opened the scoring after three minutes before Ozil took over the game, setting up goals for Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez and then adding a fourth himself — all in the space of four minutes.
