With a hard-fought, narrow 1-0 victory over Brighton, Arsenal’s pursuit of the Premier League title continued. The league leaders nearly gave up after David Raya’s error, but in the ninth minute, Bukayo Saka scored in his 300th appearance. Bart Verbruggen, the goalie for Brighton, had a personal catastrophe.
After Manchester City was held to a 2-2 draw at home, Arsenal now leads the league by seven points.
Relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest twice overcame behind to get a point at the Etihad, while Manchester City lost vital points in the title battle.
City lost two points that they had a good chance of winning, and their game ended in frustration. City now needs the Gunners to lose points in order to be in the running for the Premiership title.
After a 2-1 loss at Newcastle, where midfielder Jacob Ramsey was sent off in first-half stoppage time, Manchester United’s winning streak under Michael Carrick came to an end after seven games.
Carrick’s first defeat occurred in the ninetieth minute when substitute William Osula scored after coming off the bench to defeat the high-flying Man U. Man U and Carrick as temporary coach, will surely be hurt by this shock loss.
