Arsenal, who have been so sovereign up to now, have dropped points for the first time after five wins in the English Premier League. The Gunners had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Newcastle United on Tuesday. Arsenal have 44 points eight points ahead of holders Manchester City, who can move closer with a win at Chelsea on Thursday.
“I’m really proud of the way we played, how we dominated the game,” said coach Mikel Arteta (quoted via “Guardians“). He went on to say: “In the last third we lacked the spark to find the extra pass and also a little bit of final quality. We had a lot of situations around the penalty area that we could do better.” Meanwhile, Arteta saw two “scandalous” penalties that the “Gunners” were not awarded: they meant an alleged foul on Gabriel Magalhães (61st) and a hand ball from Guest professional Jacob Murphy (90 + 5).
Newcastle remain third with 35 points after the draw in London, but record champions Manchester United were able to draw level on points thanks to a 3-0 (1-0) win over AFC Bournemouth and also have a game less than the “Magpies”. Ex-Real professional Casemiro (23rd), Luke Shaw (49th) and Marcus Rashford (86th) scored the goals for the “Red Devils”. Everton, threatened with relegation, suffered a serious bankruptcy: Three days after the 1-1 win at Man City, coach Frank Lampard’s team lost 4-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion. The German Pascal Groß scored the fourth goal for the guests.
