Post Match INSIGHTS

• Arsenal, after an impressive run of just one defeat in their first 25 Premier League matches of 2024 (21 wins, 3 draws), have now suffered two losses in their last three matches (1 draw). This recent dip includes back-to-back away defeats in the league, a setback they haven’t experienced since May 2022.
• Newcastle, on the other hand, have found recent success against Arsenal at home, winning three of their last four league encounters at St. James’ Park (1 loss). This is a marked improvement compared to their previous 23 meetings at home (3 wins, 8 draws, 12 losses).
• Arsenal have shown a worrying trend of conceding first, having gone 1-0 down in four of their last six Premier League games – matching the frequency of their previous 31 games combined. Notably, they have now allowed the opening goal in three consecutive away fixtures, something that hasn’t happened since December 2019, prior to Mikel Arteta’s appointment as manager.
• Newcastle United showcased tremendous determination and unity, earning all three points in their Premier League matchup against Arsenal. The final scoreline of 1-0 was secured through a standout moment in the first half: Gordon’s exceptional cross set up Isak’s powerful header, which proved decisive. Arsenal struggled to find a response, with Rice missing what was arguably their best opportunity in the closing stages. Despite the xG statistics leaning in Arsenal’s favor (1.11 to Newcastle’s 0.75), they rarely posed a significant threat.
• This loss further dents Arsenal’s title ambitions; after a stellar start to 2024, they now face the possibility of falling eight points adrift of the leaders. Meanwhile, Newcastle climbs up to eighth place for the time being and will head to Nottingham Forest in their next fixture. Arsenal, however, face a demanding schedule, with matches against Inter and Chelsea on the horizon.

• Ipswich Town’s quest for a home victory against Leicester City in the Premier League has come up short for the first time, after winning their initial three encounters against the Foxes on their own turf. This latest result extends Ipswich’s winless streak to 10 matches in the 2024/25 Premier League season (5 draws, 5 losses), marking the club’s longest-ever run without a victory at the start of a top-flight campaign.
• Leicester City, meanwhile, have now managed to avoid defeat in consecutive away matches in the Premier League for the first time since their impressive run in October-November 2022, when they secured three straight wins against Wolves, Everton, and West Ham.
• In another dramatic finish, Leicester pulled off a stoppage-time goal to claim a crucial point. This time, it was against an Ipswich side that has now squandered a lead for the fifth time this season. Davis opened the scoring with a brilliant strike, but Ayew’s composed finish leveled the game late on. The turning point came when Phillips received his second yellow card with roughly 12 minutes remaining, shifting the momentum in favor of the visitors.
• Despite a spirited performance, Ipswich will feel aggrieved at missing out on a much-needed victory. The final expected goals (xG) tally of 1.77 to 0.99 reflects Leicester’s slight edge in the encounter. This marks the third consecutive 1-1 draw between these sides. Thank you for following along with our live coverage of this match between Ipswich Town and Leicester City. Take care, and see you next time.

• Southampton have finally broken a 22-game winless streak in the Premier League, securing their first victory in the top flight since March 2023, when they triumphed over Leicester. This result ends Everton’s five-match unbeaten run in the league and marks their third loss in four visits to St. Mary’s (W1).
• Adam Armstrong scored the decisive goal, which was only his second in his last 32 Premier League matches and represented Southampton’s fourth home goal of the season. The game was as cautious as anticipated, with both teams wary of defeat and hesitant to take risks. The first half saw minimal action, with a few half-chances, including Archer’s missed opportunity when he dragged a shot wide. The score remained 0-0 at halftime, and the second half began in similar fashion with both sides more concerned about conceding than scoring.
• The breakthrough for Southampton came in the 85th minute. Sugawara delivered a precise low cross that found Armstrong, who slotted the ball past Pickford with a right-footed strike, igniting celebrations at St. Mary’s. Everton thought they had equalized just four minutes later when Beto finished off a long ball from Tarkowski, but after a thorough VAR review, the goal was ruled out for offside.
• Despite eight minutes of added time, Southampton held on to claim their first three points of the season. While Southampton managed an expected goals (xG) of 0.69, Everton created a higher xG of 1.49 but failed to convert any of their chances. Thanks for following this commentary, and goodbye!

Post-Match Analysis

Wolves’ winless run in their first 10 games of a league season (D3, L7) is now only the third occurrence in their history, with previous instances in 1926-27 (10 games) and 1983-84 (14 games). Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have struggled in their last four Premier League matches against teams starting the day in the relegation zone, drawing three and losing one, despite taking the lead in all four games. Interestingly, this match marked the second time this Premier League season where a goalless first half saw both teams score at least twice in the second half. The other instance was Everton’s 2-3 loss to Bournemouth in August.

Match Recap

• An action-packed game concluded with both teams sharing the spoils after a thrilling second half. Neither side will be completely satisfied with the result, given the game’s dramatic twists. The first half was balanced, with both teams creating early opportunities. Crystal Palace came closest in the 33rd minute when Mateta’s close-range effort was blocked inadvertently by his teammate, Chalobah. The half ended goalless, setting up an eventful second half.
• The second half began in a similar fashion until Wolves had a significant chance, with Sarabia’s effort being heroically saved by Henderson, who blocked it with his face. Wolves’ failure to capitalize on that opportunity soon proved costly. A defensive lapse in their box allowed Chalobah an easy finish into an open net, giving Palace a 1-0 lead. Palace continued to squander chances after taking the lead and paid the price in the 67th minute. Chalobah, the earlier goalscorer, missed a crucial diagonal pass that led to Cunha setting up Strand Larsen, who slotted the ball under Henderson to equalize.

Late Drama

• Just five minutes later, Wolves completed a swift turnaround. Guedes showcased great team play by setting up Gomes, who found the bottom right corner to make it 2-1. Yet, the drama was far from over. In the 77th minute, Munoz leaped highest to flick on a corner, and Guehi arrived at the back post to tap it home, leveling the score at 2-2.
• The final twist came deep into stoppage time. Mateta believed he had scored a dramatic winner for Palace in the 97th minute, but the goal was ruled out for a foul on Sa by Munoz. Palace, with an impressive 2.89 xG, will regret their missed chances, highlighting the quality of their opportunities. Wolves, who ended with an xG of 1.54, will be disappointed with how they surrendered their lead so easily.

Post-Match Analysis

• Liverpool have now claimed victory in eight out of their first ten Premier League games under new manager Arne Slot (D1 L1), marking a record-setting start for any Reds manager in their initial 10 top-flight matches in charge.
• Brighton, on the other hand, faced a rare defeat after leading at halftime—something that has only happened twice in their last 40 Premier League matches since the beginning of the 2021-22 season. The other instance was a 2-1 loss to Tottenham in February last season.
• The turning point came quickly in this match, with just 128 seconds separating Cody Gakpo’s equalizer and Mo Salah’s strike that put Liverpool ahead 2-1 against Brighton.

Second-Half Comeback

• A spirited second-half resurgence saw Liverpool turn the tables on a bold Brighton side that had controlled much of the match but ultimately fell 2-1 at Anfield. Following Ferdi Kadioglu’s early goal for Brighton, a fortunate equalizer from Gakpo brought the Reds level. It was then a clinical finish from Salah that sealed the three points, pushing Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League table. Losses for both Arsenal and Manchester City made this win even more significant for Slot’s men.
• Brighton can look back on an impressive first-half display, but Bart Verbruggen’s heroic saves couldn’t hold off the Reds indefinitely. Despite a strong start, Brighton trailed in expected goals (xG), posting a 1.0 to Liverpool’s 1.59, showing the hosts’ higher-quality chances.

Promising Start for Slot’s Liverpool

Slot’s record-breaking start continues, with the most victories by any Liverpool manager in their first 10 top-flight matches. Next up, they face Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, while Brighton prepare for a challenging Premier League clash with Manchester City next week.

Post-Match Analysis

• Manchester City’s impressive 32-game Premier League unbeaten streak has been snapped, with the team facing back-to-back losses in all competitions for the first time since September 2023. Meanwhile, Bournemouth achieved a historic first-ever win against City in any competition, breaking a record that previously stood at two draws and 19 losses. This victory also marks Bournemouth’s first league win over reigning Premier League champions since they defeated Chelsea 3-0 in January 2018.
• City has now conceded the opening goal in five of their first 10 Premier League matches this season—matching their record from the 2006-07 season, when they also conceded first in five out of the opening 10 matches.
• Bournemouth managed to hold off City’s late attacking efforts to secure their first Premier League win against them with a 2-1 victory at the Vitality Stadium. Iraola’s tactical plan worked to perfection, with his players maintaining a deep, organized defensive line and quickly countering with speed and strength. This approach exploited the flanks, causing frequent trouble for Gvardiol and Walker. Semenyo opened the scoring after just nine minutes, capitalizing on an assist from Kerkez, which allowed the Cherries to sit back and absorb pressure for the rest of the half.
• The pattern continued in the second half, as Guardiola’s side dominated possession but found it hard to test goalkeeper Travers. Bournemouth took advantage of this and doubled their lead through Evanilson, with Kerkez once again delivering the crucial pass. Brooks came close to adding a third, hitting the post, which energized City’s attack for a dramatic final 10 minutes. City finally registered a shot on target at the 80th-minute mark and found the net shortly after, with Gvardiol scoring a header. Despite their best efforts, they couldn’t find a late equalizer, with Haaland being denied twice in rapid succession in stoppage time.
• Despite nearly identical expected goals for both sides (1.8 to City’s 1.77), Iraola’s Bournemouth emerged victorious. They now look ahead to their next league match against Brentford on November 9. Meanwhile, Manchester City, experiencing their first league loss of the season, will aim to bounce back with upcoming fixtures against Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday and Brighton in the Premier League next Saturday.

Post-Match Analysis

• Nottingham Forest achieved their most significant Premier League victory since their 3-0 win over Coventry City back in August 1996. This win places them in the top three of the top flight for the first time since September 7, 1998. For West Ham, their struggles continued as they have managed only one victory in their last seven Premier League away games against Nottingham Forest (three draws and three losses). Notably, the Hammers have lost all three of their visits to the City Ground since Forest’s promotion back to the top tier.
• Since the beginning of last season, Nottingham Forest has netted 14 Premier League goals from outside the penalty area, ranking only behind Manchester City, who have scored 22 from distance during the same period.
• In a commanding 3-0 win, Nottingham Forest showcased their quality, marking their first three-game winning streak in the Premier League this century. This victory also extended their perfect home record against West Ham since their return in 2022. Chris Wood broke the deadlock in the 27th minute with a precise header off a Moreno cross from the byline. While this was Forest’s standout opportunity in the first half, West Ham struggled to contain Forest’s pace and intensity.
• West Ham had a near equalizer when an effort was cleared off the line by Wood in the 46th minute. However, the game took a significant turn moments later as Alvarez received his second yellow card and was sent off, leaving West Ham with ten men.
• Forest capitalized on the numerical advantage, controlling the second half. Callum Hudson-Odoi doubled the lead in the 65th minute with a superb curling shot from the edge of the box that found the far corner. Ola Aina sealed the win in the 78th minute with a powerful strike into the top corner.
• The Hammers offered little offensive threat, managing only four attempts and just two on target, resulting in an xG of 0.16. In contrast, Forest’s 19 shots, including six on target, yielded an xG of 2. Their direct and effective play was rewarded, and they controlled 53% of possession, especially after the sending-off shifted momentum further in their favor.
• West Ham now face a critical review of their performance, as clear improvements are needed moving forward.

• Since the beginning of last season, Tottenham Hotspur have won 10 Premier League matches after conceding the first goal. This record is the joint-highest in the competition, tied with Manchester City. Impressively, Spurs have secured victory in three of their last four matches when trailing 0-1.
• Dominic Solanke has developed a remarkable scoring streak against Aston Villa under Unai Emery, netting four goals in four appearances — the most by any player against Emery’s Villa side. Meanwhile, Aston Villa have proven potent from set-piece situations this season, scoring five goals from such plays (excluding penalties), a tally matched only by Arsenal.
• In a thrilling encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Solanke’s brace spearheaded a second-half surge that saw Spurs overcome a 1-0 halftime deficit to beat Aston Villa 4-1. Villa had taken the lead in the 31st minute when Rogers converted from a corner. However, Tottenham’s reputation for comebacks was well-founded, as they had previously won 10 matches after falling behind since last season.
• The equalizer came just four minutes into the second half, with Johnson capitalizing on Son’s cross. Solanke then took center stage, scoring twice to put Spurs firmly in control. Despite Villa introducing Duran and the 10 minutes of added time offering a glimmer of hope for the visitors, James Maddison extinguished any chance of a comeback. Maddison curled a superb free-kick into the net in stoppage time, marking his 50th Premier League goal.
• Tottenham concluded the match with an expected goals (xG) of 2.63, showcasing their attacking prowess, while Aston Villa’s total xG of 1.85 reflected their inability to capitalize on opportunities.

Post Match INSIGHTS

• Eight of the last 13 Premier League meetings between Manchester United and Chelsea have ended in a draw. This fixture holds the record for the most draws in the competition’s history, with a total of 27. Manchester United’s current league campaign has yielded just 12 points after 10 matches, marking their worst start since the 1986-87 season, when they managed only 8 points. Additionally, their tally of nine goals at this stage matches their lowest since the 1973-74 season, when they also scored nine.
• None of the last five managers to take charge of their first Premier League away game at Old Trafford have suffered a loss (W2, D3)—a streak that includes Iraola, Postecoglou, Kompany, Slot, and Maresca. This represents the longest unbeaten run for debuting managers in such circumstances in Premier League history.
• The final whistle at Old Trafford confirmed a 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Chelsea. The first half, although goalless, saw both teams hit the woodwork. Chelsea came close when Madueke’s header struck the post, and Rashford followed suit with a powerful volley that clipped the crossbar just before halftime.
• The deadlock was broken in the 70th minute when Højlund was fouled by Sanchez, leading to a penalty that Fernandes confidently converted, sending the Chelsea keeper the wrong way to put United ahead. However, United’s lead was short-lived, as just four minutes later, Casemiro’s header cleared Palmer’s corner only to reach Caicedo, who struck a superb volley into the bottom corner to secure an equalizer for Chelsea.
• United may feel unlucky given their higher expected goals (xG) of 1.96 compared to Chelsea’s 1.53. However, after a difficult week at Old Trafford, earning a point against an in-form Chelsea side might be seen as a silver lining. This result leaves Manchester United in 13th place, far behind fourth-placed Chelsea. With Amorim set to arrive on November 11, Van Nistelrooy will remain on the sidelines for United’s Europa League clash with PAOK on Thursday, the same day Chelsea will host Noah in the Europa Conference League.
