What a fantastically eventful game between Man City and Arsenal. So many talking points!
Both teams feel hard done by - perfect! Arse will be kicking themselves as they almost made it but switched off with time almost up to allow a short corner and Kovacic a shot inside the area.

Again, no consistency from the ref over giving a YC for kicking the ball away. It seems only Arsenal players are booked for that!

Doku in this game, and Joao Pedro for Brighton.

Playing devil's advocate, Doku was kicking it back to where the free kick was given - very inaccurately - rather than kicking it away as they were ready to take it. For Trossard's 2nd booking, is it confirmed what it was given for?

Looks like Ten Hag is set to stay despite seeing over the worst Man United team I can remember seeing.
Truly abysmal yesterday.

Oh, I didn't think the game was that bad....

He should have been gone last season. A genius move from Pep to fool people into believeing the Man U had achieved something great last year by winning the FA Cup.
Like, don't get me wrong, winning domestic cups are handy, but for big clubs, league position is more important. Solksjaer was right, all these managers that go to Man U are more focused on winning cups and improving their CVs instead of pushing to get up the ladder in the prem.

Have to give ten Hag credit for making Spurs look like world beaters without their best striker - with Son instead of Werner it could have been 6. Meanwhile Fulham sit in 6th and if Bournemouth beats Southampton tonight, they will be 11th and above Man U.
And Brentford have scored in the 1st minute of 3 EPL games in a row - good for them - except they haven't scored another goal in minutes 2-90!

@KiwiPie what do you mean if? Bournemouth result never in doubt. Saints punished and cherries

Of the 3 relegated teams, Ipswich seem to have something about them, Leicester have a bit of talent and Southampton already look doomed. I can't see Leicester getting enough wins so that means Ipswich will be battling the likes of Everton, Palace and Wolves for the final spot - of these Wolves look on the biggest slide although they've had a tough run of fixtures.
-
Back-to-back promotions and then survival would be an unprecedented achievement for Ipswich.
it wouldn't be good to see all three promoted sides slide straight back down for a second consecutive season. Despite all three promoted surviving two years ago and currently sitting 6th, 10th and 11th.

Ipswich have taken a point in their last four I think, definitely have fighting quality about them, as do Leicester. Saints just not aggressive enough. Palace should be doing a lot better with that line up. Everton should have had a few wins, but choked when in front. Wolves though seem to be in a bit of trouble. Losing Pedro Neto to just sit on Chelseas bench doesn't help. Still too early though to write them off, but they do need a change in luck

Playing half arsed against Ipswich and saving themselves for Bayern certainly paid off in the end!

What is up with Tottenham’s away strips? Last year was black caps 80s brown now it’s sniper camouflage green.

That Brighton v Spurs game was a lot of fun - although maybe not so much for Spurs fans.
Fulham v unlucky against City and showed the reasons why Adama Traore never made it to a top club. He never really looked like scoring in his one on ones (skinned Kyle Walker though - impressive) - once you get that close to the keeper you have to lift or take it round him. And ballooned one over. If you haven't seen the Jimenez assist for Fulham's first, you have to check it out - fantastic.
At the 2nd international break, it looks like the 3 title favourites are already breaking clear, there will be a massive battle for 4th, 5th, 6th and relegation might already be 3 from 5.
