Manchester City did not stay in first place in the Premier League for long - after the "citizens" defeated Nottingham Forest (2:1), the answer came from London, where Arsenal beat Brighton 2:1.

After this victory, Mikel Arteta's team returned to the leading position and is two points ahead of City.

Arsenal took the lead in the 14th minute, when Odegaard scored after a mistake by Verbruggen and an assist from Saka.

Saka could have scored today, but he wasn't precise, and Merino and Trosar didn't take advantage of the chances.

And then at the start of the second half, Ruter scored an own goal and Arsenal took a 2-0 lead.

In the 64th minute, Brighton reduced the deficit, Ajari hit the post, and Gomes was in the right place.

And Liverpool also achieved victory, defeating Wolverhampton 2-1 at Anfield.

The Reds took the initiative in the first half, with chances piling up, Ekitike hitting the post, and the English champions took the lead in the 41st minute through Gravenberh.

The guests reduced the deficit through Bueno, had more possession in the second half, but failed to even manage to get a point.

Fulham defeated West Ham 1-0 away, Brentford beat Bournemouth (4-1), and there were no goals in the match between Everton and Burnley - 0-0.
