In the tenth round of the English Premier League, Manchester City also suffered their first defeat. The defending champions were beaten 2-1 at Bournemouth on Saturday and had to hand top spot to Liverpool FC. Because, unlike ManCity, the “Reds” turned a deficit against Brighton & Hove Albion into a 2-1 win.
A few days after the League Cup clash, which Liverpool won 3-2 in Brighton, new signing Ferdi Kadioglu (14th minute) scored early for the visitors. Liverpool strikers Cody Gakpo (69th) and Mohamed Salah (72nd) turned the game in favor of coach Arne Slot’s team.
In Bournemouth, Manchester City suffered their second successive competitive defeat after losing 2-1 in the League Cup at Tottenham Hotspur and their first league game after a 32-match unbeaten run. Antoine Semenyo (9th) and Evanilson (64th) scored for the medium-sized team. Josko Gvardiol’s linked goal (82nd) came too late for the defending champions. Liverpool (25) are two points ahead of Manchester City (23), followed by Nottingham Forest at least temporarily (19).

Arsenal are still at the bottom of their form. The “Gunners” lost 0-1 (0-1) at Newcastle United on Saturday and are now without a win in three games. Alexander Isak scored an early header (12th), which Mikel Arteta’s side were unable to make up for on the way to their second win of the season due to a lack of penetration. Newcastle ended a previous run of five games without a win.
Glasner saves a draw at the bottom
A week after their first win of the season, Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace drew 2-2 (0-0) with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Trevoh Chalobah gave the visitors from London the lead in the 60th minute, but Jörgen Strand Larsen (67th) and Joao Gomes (72nd) turned the game around in favor of the home team in five minutes. However, Marc Guehi prevented the “Wolves” from getting their first win of the season in the 77th minute and gave Crystal Palace a point. Crystal Palace are still in 17th place, just two points clear of the relegation zone
