EPL Weekly Wrap | All the Headlines – Gameweek 10 Results & News

Manchester United rescued a 4-4 draw with Aston Villa on Monday morning NZT after trailing 4-2 going into stoppage time. Substitutes Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu both scored in stoppage time, with Dorgu’s equaliser coming in the 96th minute.

I haven’t seen a finish like it this season. United had been 2-0 down inside four minutes as well, and for all the noise, they’ve still won one league game. Plenty else went on before the international break for anyone who likes to bet on football, and I’ve gone through it below from the top of the table down.

Liverpool went to Crystal Palace on the back of defeats to Arsenal and Fenerbahce, and came away with a 3-1 win that returned them to fourth.

Alexis Mac Allister headed in the opener five minutes before half-time. Florian Wirtz doubled it on 54 minutes from Bradley Barcola’s cross, which was his first Premier League goal of the season. Alexander Isak got a third in the closing minutes, so Palace’s stoppage-time penalty was only a consolation.

I’d give as much credit to Alisson as to any of the scorers. Palace passed up several good chances, and he denied them time after time.

Chelsea aren’t a top-four side on this form, in my view. They lost 1-0 at Sunderland for their fourth league defeat of the season and dropped to fifth, with Enzo Le Fee converting a 36th-minute penalty after Levi Colwill brought down Brian Brobbey.

Chelsea did have a shout of their own earlier, but VAR ruled any contact on Cole Palmer came outside the box.

Arsenal head into the break six points clear of Manchester City and five ahead of Brighton & Hove Albion, who moved into second with a 2-0 win over Brentford.

Their 1-0 win over Hull City was hard work. It took until the 72nd minute for Arsenal to score. Konstantinos Tzolakis saved from Noni Madueke, and Martin Odegaard was first to the rebound. Arsenal have won nine of their 10 league games.

Bournemouth won 2-1 at Ipswich Town, and I’m not sure anyone outside the top three is playing better right now. It was their fourth Premier League win in a row and their eighth straight in all competitions.

Evanilson opened the scoring on five minutes when Christian Walton tried to dribble round him and lost the ball. He’s now scored in five consecutive league games, which no Bournemouth player had managed in the Premier League before.

Leif Davis turned the ball into his own net 27 seconds into the second half. Jack Clarke pulled one back from the spot, but Ipswich rarely threatened after the break.

Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road with a goal from a player who’d been on the pitch for 97 seconds. Harry Wilson had just come on as well, and he set up Noah Okafor for the winner on 79 minutes.

Leeds had gone five league games without a win. They were the better side well before the goal, with 2.02 xG to Tottenham’s 0.71.

Tottenham haven’t won any of their last 39 Premier League games after conceding first.

I don’t trust Manchester City’s defence at the moment. Nottingham Forest beat them 3-1 at the City Ground, and both of Forest’s first-half goals came from City mistakes.

Jair Cunha robbed Josko Gvardiol high up the pitch and scored on six minutes. Liam Delap added the second after Elliot Anderson and Iliman Ndiaye left the ball to each other in the Forest half, running clear before firing past Gianluigi Donnarumma. Rayan Cherki pulled one back early in the second half, and Delap made it 3-1 on 73 minutes.

City have now lost three league games in a row. For Forest, it was a first home league win of the season and Delap’s first goals at the City Ground.

Their win tightens things up for anyone following the relegation markets on legal betting sites. Two points now separate the bottom five.

Crystal Palace are bottom on seven points after that loss to Liverpool. Sunderland’s win over Chelsea took them to eight, level with United, and it ended their winless league run.

Coventry City are on nine alongside Forest after a 3-1 defeat at Everton. They had led early in the second half before conceding three times.

Arsenal travel to Newcastle United at 6:30am NZT on Sunday 22 November when the league returns. I’m more interested in Liverpool v Manchester United at 5:30am NZT the following morning, and I’d compare the prices on NZ betting apps before backing either.
