The London club got the better of Liverpool (3-2) in the 9th day’s clash on Sunday. The Gunners led three times thanks to goals from Martinelli (1st) and Saka (45th+5th, 76th) while Nuñez (34th) and Firmino (54th) put the game back on track twice for the Reds. With this victory, Arsenal is now ahead of Manchester City with one point and 14 units more than Liverpool, 10th with a game in hand.
Manchester City beat Southampton 4-0 at home on Saturday in the ninth round of the Premier League. The provisional leader started well with goals from Cancelo (20th) and Foden (32nd), and then, without forcing, increased the gap thanks to Mahrez (49th) and Håland (65th), who already scored his 15th goal of the season in the league. The inevitable Erling Haaland (66th) scored. A festival concluded by the 15th goal of the season for Erling Haaland (65th), who never ceases to shake the nets in England.
Arrived this summer, Erling Haaland has already scored 15 goals in the Premier League, after 9 games (his ratio: 1.67). Obviously, the number is stratospheric, especially compared to the last three seasons in England where the top scorer had finished with 23 goals. Enough to make some people want to create petitions to kick “the robot” out of the championship. At this rate, Haaland could pass the 63-goal mark by the end of the season, crushing Mohamed Salah’s Premier League record (32 in the 2017-2018 season).
Kvin De Bruyne was once again a key passer with Manchester City this Saturday in the Premier League. The Red Devil was on the assist for Phil Foden on the Skyblues’ 2nd goal against Southampton.
At the same time, Graham Potter’s Chelsea got a second straight win in the league thanks to goals from Havertz (45th+3), Pulisic (54th) and Broja (90th). The Blues are 4th, just ahead of 5th-placed Newcastle, who beat Brentford 5-1 with a double from former Lyon player Guimaraes.
Ronaldo revives Man United
A week after the humiliation against Manchester City (6-3), Manchester United responded with a victory at Everton (2-1) on Sunday. The Red Devils were quickly down after Iwobi’s goal (5th), but they got back in the game thanks to Antony (15th), well served by Anthony Martial. Unfortunately for him, the French striker had to leave with an injury at the half-hour mark. But his replacement, a certain Cristiano Ronaldo, gave a definitive advantage to the United team in the 44th minute! This 700th goal of CR7 allows MU to regain the 5th place after this match of the 10th day of the Premier League.
Kane keeps Tottenham on the podium
A victory on the smallest of margins, but Tottenham will be satisfied with it! On the ground of Brighton (1-0) this Saturday during the 10th day of the Premier League, Spurs relied on a goal of their star striker Kane (22nd) to get three important points. The whole without being flamboyant and even conceding many chances. However, Antonio Conte’s men remain in third place in the standings and in contact with the provisional leader, Manchester City, who is only three points ahead of them.
