Arsenal closed the gap and are now level on points with title rivals Manchester City after Pep Guardiola’s side dropped points with a 1-1 draw at Newcastle. 

The Gunners won 4-2 against Leicester, with Chelsea also scoring four goals against a leaky Brighton side that conceded all four to England international Cole Palmer in the first half.

Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur dismantled Manchester United with a 3-0 win at Old Trafford which has put Erik Ten Hag’s job back in jeopardy again.

Furthermore, Liverpool took the top spot in the Premier League table after a 2-1 win over a struggling Wolves side. Wolves are bottom of the table after Everton earned their first win of the season.

Goalkeeper and Defence

GK – Mads Hermansen, Leicester City – It would normally be unusual to praise a goalkeeper who conceded four goals to Arsenal, but Hermansen had a spectacular game. The Gunners took 16 shots on target – the most in Premier League history, Hermansen made some incredible saves.

LB – Jurrien Timber, Arsenal – Timber was up and down the left wing all game long. He assisted the first goal of the game scored by Leandro Trossard.

CB – Micky Van de Ven, Tottenham Hotspur – Van de Ven made a fantastic run down the length of the pitch with the ball where he played it across to Brennan Johnson to give Spurs the lead against United.

CB – Josko Gvardiol, Manchester City – Despite a lacklustre City performance, Gvardiol gave them the lead after 35 minutes.

RB -James Justin, Leicester City – Starting with two Leicester players seems strange, but James Justin scored twice against Arsenal with his second goal an incredible first-time effort which went in off the post.

Midfield

LM – Gabriel Martinelli, Arsenal – Martinelli had his best game of the season so far. He scored and recorded an assist to help the Gunners to three points.

CM – Cole Palmer, Chelsea – Not much needs to be said, four goals in the first half, a truly spectacular and historic game from the England international.

CM – Carlos Baleba, Brighton – Despite a 4-2 loss, Baleba scored and assisted for Brighton and was able to create a few more chances for the Seagulls at Stamford Bridge.

RM – Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham Hotspur – The Swedish midfielder scored a beautiful goal from outside the box in Spurs’ 3-0 win.

Forwards

ST – Dominic Solanke, Tottenham Hotspur – The former Bournemouth and Liverpool striker scored in Spurs’ 3-0 win after coming on as a substitute.

ST – Leandro Trossard, Arsenal – Trossard continued his strong form for the Gunners with a well-taken goal against Leicester.
