Aston Villa draws level with Reds
Arsenal are top of the Premier League again. The “Gunners” deservedly won 2-0 (0-0) against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday thanks to a goal from national player Kai Havertz. The Londoners (39 points) overtook previous leaders Liverpool FC (38), who then only managed a goalless draw against Manchester United. Aston Villa, who came from behind to win 2-1 (0-1) at Brentford FC, are level on points with Liverpool in third place.
The Brazilian Gabriel Jesus (53rd minute) gave Arsenal the lead. The in-form Havertz (87th) made the decision. The hosts were the better team from the start and could have won even more, but missed many opportunities. Brighton, on the other hand, had largely no chance at the Emirates Stadium and only recorded their first and only shot on goal after more than an hour.

Liverpool were the superior team in the intense game against their ailing arch-rivals Man United and created many chances. But Man United, who were eliminated from the Champions League as bottom of their group after a 0-1 loss to FC Bayern during the week, avoided falling behind with a strong defensive performance and even had a few opportunities themselves in the final phase. In stoppage time, Diogo Dalot (90th + 4) saw a yellow-red card. But Liverpool could no longer capitalize on the numerical advantage.
Fourth-placed Manchester City, who lost a two-goal lead in the 2-2 (1-0) win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, are now four points behind Liverpool and Aston Villa and five behind leaders Arsenal.
