Premier League clubs approve changes to associated party transaction rules
The proposed changes came into play after an independent tribunal found some aspects of the APT rules to be unlawful following Manchester City’s lawsuit.
Table-toppers Liverpool continue their dominance in the ongoing English Premier League, thrashing Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in Sunday’s encounter at the Anfield.
It is to note that Liverpool were trailing by a goal but they managed to bounce back in the game and restored their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Spurs snatched the lead inside the opening minute as Harry Kane scored within 48 seconds to put Jurgen Klopp’s side under pressure. A number of impressive saves from goalie Paulo Gazzaniga helped Spurs lead the first half 1-0.

However, in the second half, the Reds pushed their limits and kept threatening Tottenham’s defense with the equaliser only being a matter of time.
In the 52nd minute, Jordan Henderson leveled the scoreline for Liverpool and the hosts’ pressure eventually took its toll when Serge Aurier caught the back of Sadio Mane’s leg and gave away a penalty, which Mohamed Salah smashed past a stationary Gazzaniga with 15 minutes left.
Salah’s goal worked as a decider as the teams failed to score after that.
Meanwhile, Manchester United defeated Norwich City 3-1 at Carrow Road.
Scott McTominay (in the 21st minute), Marcus Rashford (in the 30th minute) and Anthony Martial (in the 73rd minute) were the goal scorers for United. However, Onel Hernandez scored the consolatory goal for Norwich in the 88th minute the game.
In other matches on Sunday, Crystal Palace held Arsenal to a 2-2 draw despite the Gunners taking a 2-0 lead within 9 minutes of the game at the Emirates Stadium. Meanwhile, Newcastle played 1-1 draw with Wolves at the St. James’ Park.
