• Arsenal gains, City loses, Tottenham ties
Liverpool’s 1-0 win against Manchester City ended an entertaining Premier League match week.
What happened this match week and what to expect next:
Salah defeats City
Liverpool beat Manchester City for the first time this season thanks to Mohammed Salah’s winner.
The Egyptian sped past Joao Cancelo and Ederson after controlling Alisson’s 76th-minute clearing.
Manchester City missed several chances. Phil Foden’s second-half goal was disallowed due to a foul by Erling Haaland on Fabinho.
Liverpool blocked City’s first goal in 19 Premier League games. They’re now sixth with 13 points, while the champs are second with 23.
Arsenal four points clear
Arsenal are four points clear after beating Leeds United 1-0 courtesy to a half-time goal by Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal have 27 points, while Leeds has 9.
A power breakdown prevented the referee from communicating with VAR for 36 minutes, halting play.
Leeds had multiple chances to equalize after halftime, including Patrick Bamford’s failed penalty.
Gabriel Magalhaes was sent off in stoppage time after colliding with Bamford. Leeds were then granted a second penalty, but after a VAR review, both rulings were overturned. Gabriel’s red card was downgraded to a yellow card, and Arsenal was awarded a free kick instead of a penalty, handing Leeds United their first home loss of the season.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal broke league history with nine wins out of 10 games. They’re ‘firing’
Former Manchester United forward and Sky Sports analyst Michaeal Owen said the Gunners may win the title. Owen: “Arsenal may go Leicester” (If you know, you know).
