Arsenal’s unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an unexpected end with a surprising 2-0 loss to Bournemouth. Arsenal struggled after defender William Saliba received a red card following a VAR review. Already missing key players like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, Arsenal couldn’t recover and dropped to third place in the standings.
On the other hand, Manchester United finally got their first win in over a month with a 2-1 victory against Brentford. Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund helped lift the pressure off manager Erik ten Hag. Manchester United’s win moved them up to 10th place.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa climbed to fourth place by beating Fulham 3-1. Tottenham Hotspur also had a great comeback, defeating West Ham United 4-1 with the help of captain Son Heung-min. This win moved Tottenham up to seventh place in the Premier League.
Everton secured a 2-0 win against Ipswich Town, continuing their four-game unbeaten streak, while Brighton beat Newcastle United 1-0. Leicester City claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory over Southampton with a last-minute goal.
With Arsenal slipping to third, all eyes are on Premier League leaders Liverpool and second-placed Manchester City, who are yet to play their weekend matches.
