Liverpool already had to make two substitutions in the first half due to injury. Gravenberch left the pitch first, followed shortly by Diogo Jota. Nevertheless, the guests took the lead in the 35th minute after a precise lob by Núñez. Mac Allister and Salah scored after the break. The Egyptian international replaced Jota on the field and started in the league after participating in the African Championship and suffering a thigh injury for the first time since January 1.
Brentford’s 100th anniversary Premier League goal was scored by Toney in the 75th minute, but Gakpo put the finishing touches on the score shortly after.
Chelsea took the lead in Manchester in the 42nd minute thanks to Sterling. The 29-year-old English international scored against his former employer in the second match of the season. The native of Kingston, Jamaica has already scored 52 goals at the Etihad Stadium, which is the second highest number after Sergio Aguero (106).
The “Blues” in Manchester were reaching for three points for a long time, but their effort was thwarted by Rodri seven minutes before the end. Pep Guardiola’s men lose four points to Liverpool and two to Arsenal, but they have a game in hand.
Ödegaard sent Arsenal to their fifth victory in a row with an accurate shot in the fourth minute. Before the break, he increased after a foul on Trossard from Saka’s penalty, and the same player made his mark just after the break. The 22-year-old English winger scored twelve times in the season and added seven goal assists. Trossard and Havertz completed the scoring.
Mikel Arteta’s men followed up on their previous 6-0 win over West Ham, who failed to come out on top this time as well, losing 0-2 at Nottingham. In the sixth match of the “Hammers” without a win in a row, only Vladimír Coufal was from the Czech representatives, who spent 75 minutes on the field. Tomáš Souček replaced Emerson in the 83rd minute.
The home team sent Awoniyi into the lead in the first half. In the 71st minute, visiting Phillips was sent off after receiving a second yellow card. After arriving from Manchester City in January, he is experiencing an unsuccessful start to his engagement in East London. Hudson-Odoi sealed the result.
Tottenham lost at home to Wolverhampton 1:2 and is ten points behind Liverpool in fifth place. Gomes put Wolves ahead in the 42nd minute, but Kulusevski equalized 34 seconds into the second half. The home side couldn’t find an answer to Gomes’ second goal in the 63rd minute. “Spurs” at least extended the series of league games with a goal scored to 37 games. Only Arsenal, who scored in 55 games in a row in 2001 and 2002, recorded a longer streak.
Fourth-placed Aston Villa won 2-1 at Fulham thanks to two goals from Ollie Watkins and are eight points off the lead. Rodrigo Muniz corrected the score for the home team.
