Premier League: Arsenal’s Streak Continues as Haaland Shines
In an action-packed Matchday 10 of the Premier League, Arsenal maintained their dominance with a commanding 2-0 victory over Burnley, while Manchester City and Liverpool also secured vital wins to keep pace at the top of the table.
Arsenal’s Defensive Masterclass
The Gunners extended their winning streak to seven matches across all competitions, not conceding a single goal during that stretch. This remarkable run has seen them go 686 minutes without allowing an opponent to score, setting a new club record in the Premier League. Goalkeeper David Raya and his defensive unit, anchored by standout defender Gabriel Magalhães, have been instrumental in this achievement, allowing only one shot on target in their last four games.
Ferran Torres, speaking after the match, credited the team’s resilience: “We found our spirit and intensity. We’re playing at a higher level than any other opponent right now.”
Haaland Returns to Form
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland bounced back from a rare scoreless outing against Aston Villa by netting a brace in a 3-1 win over Bournemouth. Haaland’s goals take his tally to 26 for club and country this season, including 13 in the Premier League. The striker’s Halloween antics, dressing up as The Joker, added a light-hearted touch to his impressive performance.
Liverpool Ends Winless Streak
Liverpool finally ended a four-match winless run with a convincing 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, putting an end to Villa’s momentum. The Reds capitalized on a critical mistake by Villa’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, who gifted a goal to Mohamed Salah just before halftime.
Chelsea’s Steady Climb
Chelsea continued their resurgence with a narrow 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, thanks to an impressive performance from Moisés Caicedo. The Ecuadorian midfielder, who joined Chelsea for £115 million, was pivotal in the midfield, winning tackles and playing a key role in João Pedro’s winning goal. His performance has earned him praise as one of the best defensive midfielders in the league.
Wolves Part Ways with Pereira
In a more somber note, Wolverhampton Wanderers parted ways with manager Vítor Pereira following a dismal start to their season. With only two points from ten matches, including an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Fulham, Wolves find themselves in a precarious position as they search for their fifth manager in four years.
Tottenham’s Home Struggles
Tottenham Hotspur faced criticism after their loss to Chelsea, leading to boos from their home crowd. Manager Thomas Frank’s objective to turn their stadium into a fortress has not materialized, with Spurs winning only once at home since his appointment.
