The Red Devils Topple the Anfield Fortress
Despite the intense pressure from the Anfield stands, Coach Ruben Amorim's squad displayed great resilience and organized defense. Although Liverpool dominated most of the match, the "Red Devils" capitalized on their opponent’s mistakes.
Goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire enabled Manchester United to bring down Anfield, ending their poor run against their fiercest rival. This win not only earned MU three points but also relieved some of the immense pressure on Coach Ruben Amorim, who had been criticized for uninspiring tactics recently.
For Liverpool under Coach Arne Slot, this marked their fourth consecutive loss across all competitions. A full-scale crisis is unfolding in Merseyside as new signings like Isak and Florian Wirtz struggle to adapt, while veteran Mohamed Salah shows a steep decline in form.
Arsenal Confirms Its Status as Top Contender
In London, Arsenal maintained their excellent form by defeating Fulham 1-0 at Craven Cottage. The only goal came from Leandro Trossard’s well-executed corner kick, helping the "Gunners" keep their lead atop the table with 19 points after 8 rounds.
This also marks Arsenal’s fifth consecutive victory across all competitions, demonstrating the stability and strength of Coach Mikel Arteta’s squad in this year’s title race.
Chelsea and Man City Both Win, Tottenham Faces Unexpected Defeat
Chelsea extended its strong form by comfortably beating Nottingham Forest 3-0, showing increasingly polished gameplay. In Manchester, Erling Haaland continued his explosive performance, helping Man City overcome Everton 2-0 to move up to second place, just one point behind leaders Arsenal. Conversely, Tottenham disappointed by unexpectedly losing 1-2 at home to Aston Villa, dropping to sixth place.
The Top Group Race Heats Up
After 8 rounds, Arsenal remains in first place with 19 points, followed by Man City with 16 points. Liverpool has fallen to third after a painful defeat to MU, while Chelsea shows strong signs of recovery, closing in on the top 4 with 14 points.
The Premier League title race this season is becoming increasingly thrilling as the big clubs start accelerating. Arsenal shows remarkable consistency, but with the resurgence of Man City and Chelsea, the road ahead promises many surprises.
