Arsenal, who lost twice to Aston Villa in the Football Premier League last season, paid their fish debts to the Birmingham club on Saturday.
Arsenal rose to six points in the English Premier League with Manchester City and Brighton, when the London team claimed a 2-0 victory in the away game against Aston Villa. The Gunners’ hits came in the second half Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey.
The victory was especially sweet for Arsenal, as last season the team had zero goals and zero points in two matches against Villa. Villa games were Arsenal’s fate in the spring, when the team lost the championship to City by two points.
Small south coast club Brighton seem to have found their open-minded attitude again under new management. The youngest head coach in Premier League history to come to Brighton Fabian Hürzeler31, received a late gift from his team in the second round, when the blue and whites defeated Manchester United 2-1 on their home turf.
Brazilian striker João Pedro took advantage of United’s defense falling asleep in the fifth extra minute and headed the winning goal.
League champions Ipswich took a surprise lead against reigning champions Manchester City, but the joy was very short-lived. Erling Haaland’s by two and Kevin De Bruyne with one hit, City equaled last season’s Blackburn goalscoring record Sammie Szmodicsin early goal quickly, because the 3-1 readings were already on the scoreboard after the opening quarter.
City eventually won the match 4–1 with Haaland’s hat trick.
Tottenham continued Everton’s misery by defeating the Liverpool club 4–0. Tottenham star Son Heung-min scored two goals, the first one by the English national team keeper by Jordan Pickford with favorable assistance. Pickford lost the ball to Son as the lowest player on the field.
