Summary

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Matt Davies-Adams react to another pulsating Premier League weekend.

Arsenal edged past Chelsea 2-1 with all the goals in the game coming from corners, responding to a Haaland-less Man City winning at Leeds. A nervy finish at the Emirates, as the Gunners go 5 points clear having played a game more.

North London neighbours Tottenham are beaten again under Igor Tudor at Fulham, to make it 10 matches without a win in the Premier League as their relegation fears grow.

Apart from Wolves, the bottom six all lose so it’s as you were in the battle at the bottom, even after an incredible seven goal thriller at Turf Moor.

Goals galore on Saturday with big wins for Liverpool and Everton. And Man United are up to 3rd in the table after coming from behind against Crystal Palace. Carl Anka tells us more from Old Trafford.
