Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to 11 points following a 2-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday. Arne Slot’s team took full advantage of Arsenal’s defeat to West Ham on Saturday, solidifying their position at the summit.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring for Liverpool against a depleted City side missing Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish.
The Egyptian forward found the net with a left-footed strike from inside the area. Shortly after, Salah assisted Dominik Szoboszlai, who scored Liverpool’s second goal in the 37th minute, securing a comfortable win for the visitors.
Arsenal’s poor form continued with a 1-0 defeat at home to West Ham, with Jarrod Bowen’s 44th-minute diving header proving decisive. The Gunners also saw substitute Myles Lewis-Skelly sent off in the 73rd minute.
In another thrilling encounter, Newcastle United edged Nottingham Forest 4-3.
Callum Hudson-Odoi put Forest ahead early, but Newcastle responded with four first-half goals from Lewis Miley, Jacob Murphy, and a brace from Alexander Isak. Despite late goals from Nikola Milenkovic and Ryan Yates for Forest, Newcastle held on for the win.
Manchester United staged a dramatic comeback from 2-0 down against Everton.
Goals from Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte canceled out early strikes by Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure. A late penalty appeal by Everton was overturned after a VAR review.
Chelsea’s struggles continued with a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, as Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio combined twice to overturn Enzo Fernandez’s early goal. Matheus Cunha’s strike secured a 1-0 win for Wolverhampton Wanderers over Bournemouth, who played most of the match with 10 men following Illia Zabarnyi’s red card.
