Thanks to two goals in stoppage time, Arsenal joined Manchester City at the top of a Premier League marked by the talent of Cole Palmer, who made history with his quadruplet.
Cole Palmer is the star of this 6th day of the Premier League. The Chelsea attacking midfielder became the first player in Premier League history to score a quadruple (21st, 28th, 31st and 41st) in the first half, during the Blues’ 4-2 home victory against Brighton. The English international, trained at Manchester City, signed some gems, notably a long-range free kick into the top corner, and propelled the London team to third place in the provisional ranking, one point behind Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s men had been held to Newcastle (1-1) a little earlier.
Chelsea could have had an even better operation if Arsenal had not escaped in stoppage time against Leicester (4-2), thanks to an own goal from Ndidi (90th + 4) and an even more goal late from Kai Havertz (90th + 8). The Gunners did not prepare particularly well for the reception of Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday in the Champions League, at least in terms of consistency in the game and in the effort.
Arsenal catches up with City
The Londoners, who led 2-0 at the break thanks to goals from Martinelli (20th) and Trossard (45th+1), were caught after the break with a double from James Justin (47th and 63rd). Mikel Arteta’s players had the merit of believing in it until the end to get back to Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, as proven by the two goals scored with forceps in added time.
Liverpool, who travel to Wolverhampton, and Aston Villa, who travel to Ipswich, have the opportunity to dislodge the City-Arsenal tandem from the lead in the event of a victory. In the other matches of the afternoon, Everton dominated Crystal Palace (2-1), Fulham won (0-1) at Nottingham Forrest, while Brentford and West Ham (1-1) neutralized each other. .
