37 h. ago Dominik Szoboszlai’s wonder strike sinks Arsenal and sends Liverpool top

If Liverpool are to successfully defend their Premier League title, they will look back on the moment when Dominik Szoboszlai sank Arsenal with a late and sensational free-kick as a foundation stone. There had been little between these rivals, the only clubs that maintained 100% records at kick-off time; pragmatism holding sway for long spells. Or maybe it was the fear of defeat.Would Arsenal have taken another Anfield draw beforehand? The answer was probably yes and it appeared that Mikel Arteta had placed the emphasis on being difficult to beat, first and foremost, with his line-up. He would use his new signing, Eberechi Eze, only as a 70th minute substitute. Continue reading...

When a team loses the aura of champions, it can go absolutely.Opponents suddenly look at them and wonder what on earth once seemed so intimidating, how on earth a bunch of players in these shirts, could seem so unbeatable. At half-time, Manchester City led, and seemed comfortable in their lead against opponents who had never got going. By the time Brajan Gruda calmly rounded James Trafford and dumped Rayan Aït-Nouri on his backside before rolling into an empty net, a Brighton winner had come to seem almost overdue.

Just where would West Ham be without Jarrod Bowen? Five days on from confronting angry supporters after Graham Potter’s team succumbed to a third successive defeat, Bowen’s clever first-time finish gave West Ham a late lead at Nottingham Forest before goals from Lucas Paquetá and Callum Wilson ensured a first league victory of the season, Paquetá from the penalty spot after Crysencio Summerville was tripped in the box.For Forest, in front of the watching owner Evangelos Marinakis, this was a dreadful performance and a pathetic – and untimely – collapse.

Perhaps it was inevitable that a game which would supposedly endorse firm opinion about either Rangers or Celtic would end in stalemate. A grim, miserable stalemate at that. It seemed incredible to think that both of these teams had Champions League ambitions a matter of weeks ago.Rangers will be the happier with their point, notwithstanding the problems associated with four draws to start their Scottish Premiership campaign. Russell Martin has been under such pressure, as only intensified by the 6-0 drubbing against Club Brugge, that he will cling to any form of salvation. Rangers offered more threat here against a Celtic team who were woefully punchless. Continue reading...

63 h. ago Manchester United squeeze past Burnley with controversial Fernandes penalty

It is easy to see why Ruben Amorim has developed a love-hate relationship with his players after a 97th-minute Bruno Fernandes penalty controversially earned Manchester United’s first win of the season. The result should not have been in doubt but poor finishing and defending meant the hosts had to rely on the referee, Sam Barrott, to visit the pitchside monitor and overturn his own decision.Josh Cullen’s own goal gave United a deserved lead they should have built on but Lyle Foster and Jaidon Anthony were twice allowed to equalise either side of Bryan Mbeumo scoring United’s second in 11 chaotic second-half minutes. The match was heading for a draw until it was belatedly judged that Anthony had pulled down Amad Diallo and the United captain did the rest to send Old Trafford wild, while Burnley fumed. But once again, as at Grimsby in the Carabao Cup, Amorim did not watch the penalty. Continue reading...

65 h. ago João Pedro and Fernández fire Chelsea to win against Fulham after VAR drama

Perhaps the biggest insult for Fulham was that the first half was still going on when Chelsea finally broke through. They were into the ninth minute of added time when Enzo Fernández delivered a corner, João Pedro leapt to score and Marco Silva was forced to accept that the footballing Gods were not on his side, but this is where the game is these days. It is pedantic, stop-start and too vulnerable to being warped by technology’s blurred lines.It is tiresome to have to talk about refereeing decisions – far better to focus on João Pedro’s blistering form since swapping Brighton for Chelsea, for instance – but sometimes there is no other choice. This is the era of VAR and fortune did not favour Fulham as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge. They dominated much of the opening period and had done enough to lead this west London derby, only for the red mist to descend when Josh King’s first goal for his boyhood club was followed by one of those long, tortured looks at the pitchs...
