After Aston Villa’s heavy success against Brighton (6-1), the 7th day of the Premier League continued this Saturday. Having been flawless since the start of the season, Manchester City traveled to Wolves to continue their superb momentum and had to respond after their elimination in the round of 16 of the League Cup this week. And everything did not go as planned for the Skyblues – deprived of Rodri (suspended) and De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Stones (injured) – quickly led to the score after a nice rush from Neto, countered by Dias (1-0 , 13th).
The Cityzens then thought they had done the hard part after the break by equalizing following a superb free kick from Alvarez (1-1, 58th). But the Argentinian’s gem was not enough, since the Wolves regained the advantage thanks to a counter-attack concluded by Hwang (2-1, 66th). And despite the attempts of Doku and Haaland at the end of the match, Guardiola’s men did not manage to escape the trap and conceded their first defeat in the Championship. For its part, Wolverhampton (13th) signs its second success of the season, with prestige.
Newcastle ensures before PSG
Still at the top of the ranking, Arsenal took advantage of Mancunian’s misstep and quietly won on the pitch of relegated Bournemouth (18th) thanks to achievements from Saka (17th), Odegaard and Havertz from the penalty spot (3-1, 44th). and 53rd) then White (4-1, 90th+3). A big success allowing the Gunners (2nd) to come back to one point behind the leader, before their trip to Bollaert, in the Champions League against RC Lens. Also engaged against a French opponent in the Champions League, Newcastle United did the job against Burnley (19th) before hosting Paris Saint-Germain. Thanks to the achievements of Almiron and Isak, the Magpies have a third consecutive success and move up to 8th place.
For its part, Manchester United has disappointed again and is sinking into crisis. At Old Trafford, Ten Hag’s men conceded another defeat against Crystal Palace, thanks to a gem from ex-OL defender Andersen (1-0, 25th). The Red Devils are in tenth place and are overtaken by the Eagles (9th). Finally, at the bottom of the table, West Ham (7th) won thanks to goals from Bowen (24th) and Soucek (2-0, 37th) and crushed Sheffield United, new bottom of PL after the first victory in the history of Luton (17th) in the Premier League, at Everton. The Hatters even leave the red zone and return to equal points with the Toffees (16th). Only Bournemouth, Burnley and Sheffield are still winless.
