The 11th matchday of the Premier League has come to an end, showcasing thrilling matches, outstanding individual displays, and surprising results. Here is the summary of this round of Premier League fixtures.
Tottenham 2-2 Manchester United
In the 96th minute, Matthijs de Ligt netted a last-minute equalizer, enabling Manchester United to clinch a thrilling 2-2 draw against Tottenham in the Premier League. Although a late goal from Richarlison appeared to have sealed the victory for Spurs, Manchester United fought back. They initiated a counterattack, won a corner, and Fernandes delivered the ball to the far post, where De Ligt headed it in, extending the Red Devils’ unbeaten run to five matches.
West Ham 3-2 Burnley
West Ham United achieved consecutive wins by defeating Premier League relegation competitors Burnley 3-2 at home, extending their unbeaten head-to-head streak to seven games. This victory brings the Hammers level on points with Burnley, who occupy 17th place in the standings, with West Ham just below them in 18th place.
Everton 2-0 Fulham
Everton defeated a lackluster Fulham team to get back to winning form, with goals from Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane in each half securing David Moyes’ team only their second win in eight matches. Boosted by the three points before the international break, Moyes marked his 20th Premier League win against Fulham, the team he has beaten the most in the league. Meanwhile, Fulham suffered their fifth consecutive away loss, giving Silva much to consider.
Sunderland 2-2 Arsenal
In the 94th minute, Brian Brobbey netted a last-minute equalizer, enabling Sunderland to earn a 2-2 draw against Premier League leaders Arsenal and prolong their unbeaten home league run to six matches this season. While Arsenal extended their unbeaten record against Sunderland to 16 Premier League games, they missed the chance to widen their lead at the top to nine points. Meanwhile, the Black Cats climbed to 4th place after maintaining an unbeaten streak for the fourth game in a row.
Chelsea 3-0 Wolves
Chelsea are currently third in the Premier League table after a 3-0 victory over Wolves at Stamford Bridge, securing their fourth win in five league games. This result brings the Blues to just six points behind the league leaders, Arsenal. On the other hand, Wolves have yet to win a match in the top flight this season after this recent defeat. The new permanent manager will have a difficult task ahead to maintain the team’s status in the top division.
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Leeds
Nottingham Forest defeated Leeds United 3-1 at the City Ground, ending their nine-game winless streak in the Premier League and extending their unbeaten home record against Leeds to 14 matches. Despite staying in 19th place, Forest are just one point away from safety and have gained fresh confidence under new manager Sean Dyche. Meanwhile, Leeds have suffered consecutive Premier League losses and are now concerned about their position near the relegation zone.
Crystal Palace 0-0 Brighton
A competitive match between Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion finished 0-0, which was a clear difference from their last eight Premier League meetings at Selhurst Park where both sides found the net. The draw allowed Palace to continue their longest current unbeaten streak at home in the Premier League, reaching 12 games, and kept them one point ahead of Brighton, who have suffered only one defeat in their last seven league games.
Brentford 3-1 Newcastle
Brentford achieved their fourth victory in six home league matches this season by rallying to defeat Newcastle United 3-1, handing Newcastle their ninth consecutive away league game without a win. Playing with one less player, Eddie Howe’s team was never likely to equalize, extending their worst Premier League start under his management. Meanwhile, Brentford keep exceeding expectations and moving up the standings, sealing the win in stoppage time when Thiago scored their third goal of the match.
Aston Villa 4-0 Bournemouth
Aston Villa continued their unbeaten streak against Bournemouth to six matches with an easy 4-0 win at Villa Park, handing the Cherries back-to-back Premier League losses for the first time this season. Late goals secured a convincing win, moving Villa up to sixth place and dropping Bournemouth to ninth based on goal difference.
Manchester City 3-0 Liverpool
Manchester City delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium, handing the Reds their fourth consecutive Premier League away defeat, their worst streak since 2012. This win brings City within four points of league leaders Arsenal, and it was a perfect way to celebrate Pep Guardiola’s 1000th game as a manager. On the other hand, Arne Slot’s team has lost six of their last seven domestic matches and dropped to eighth place.
