The Gunners were held 0-0 by the Magpies in the Premier League Matchday 17 clash. MU, winner of Bournemouth (3-0), returns to Newcastle.
The shock at the top of the Premier League did not give rise to great flights. Arsenal, the leaders of the English championship, were held in check on their lawn by Newcastle, surprising third (0-0). While the Gunners had possession, there were very few chances either side (four shots on target for Arsenal, just one for Newcastle). It’s the first time this season that Arsenal – who still have an eight-point lead – have failed to win at the Emirates Stadium. The Magpies, still third after 13 games unbeaten, see Manchester United return to their height with 35 points.
Because, in the evening, the Red Devils, without forcing their talent, won against Bournemouth (3-0), at Old Trafford. Casemiro (23rd), Shaw (49th) and Rashford (86th) were the Mancunian scorers. MU signs a fourth consecutive victory in the Premier League and confirms its return to the fore. Bournemouth are 15th in the standings.
Everton concede three goals in six minutes
At the same time, Everton sank on the lawn of Brighton (1-4). Mitoma (14th) quickly opened the scoring before the Seagulls scored three goals in six minutes through Ferguson (51st), March (54th) and Groß (57th). Brighton goes back to 8th place, while Everton, who scored late by Gray from the penalty spot (90th + 2) but who has not won for six matches, is 16th.
Finally, Fulham won at Leicester (0-1). The winning goal was scored by Mitrovoic (17th). With this result, the Cottagers temporarily move up to 7th place, behind Liverpool. The Foxes, who concede a third loss in a row, occupy a disappointing 13th place.
