Arsenal claimed the top spot in the Premier League following a commanding 2-0 victory over West Ham United in manager Mikel Arteta’s 300th game in charge. Declan Rice’s own goal opened the scoring for Arsenal before Bukayo Saka sealed the win with a second-half penalty, marking Arsenal’s continued strong start to the season.
The win was especially significant as reigning champions Liverpool suffered a painful stoppage-time 2-1 loss to Chelsea in London, dropping them down to second place with 15 points, just one shy of Arsenal’s 16 points from seven matches. Brazilian youngster Estevao scored a dramatic 95th-minute winner for Chelsea, further compounding Liverpool’s recent setbacks.
Meanwhile, Manchester United eased pressure on their manager Ruben Amorim with a solid 2-0 home victory against Sunderland at Old Trafford. This result offered some respite for the Red Devils as they aim to climb back up the league standings.
Tottenham Hotspur also strengthened their position by defeating Leeds United 1-0, maintaining their place among the top contenders after a strong start under new management.
Arsenal’s injury woes continue, however, with captain Martin Odegaard leaving the West Ham game early due to a knee injury, adding a note of caution for the Gunners moving forward.
This dynamic Premier League weekend reshapes the title race, setting the stage for an intense competition as the season progresses.
