Premier League – top headlines

  • Chelsea's 3-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday means the Blues have won their last six away London derbies, setting a new club record for longest winning streak.

  • Thiago Silva enjoyed a game to remember in the victory over Spurs. Not only did the Brazilian center-back keep a clean sheet, he also found the back of the net, thus becoming the second-oldest Premier League goalscorer (36y & 362d) for the Blues behind only Didier Drogba (37y & 49d).

  • David de Gea's penalty save vs Mark Noble in the final minutes of West Ham vs Man United earned the Red Devils a crucial 2-1 triumph. That was the Spaniard's first penalty save in the Premier League October 2014 and his first overall (club and country) since April 2016, having conceded 40 consecutive spot kicks in a row.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo continued his excellent start for Solskjaer's side, netting the first of Man United's two goals vs West Ham. That strike came at the Hammers' London Stadium, making it the 66th different stadium in Europe's top five leagues that Ronaldo has scored at, with only Zlatan Ibrahimovic (64) coming close to this feat.

  • Sadio Mane set two lovely feats in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace. Having broken the deadlock in the first half, the Senegalese ace reached the 100-goal mark for Liverpool across all competitions. Furthermore, the Anfield clash was the ninth consecutive game in which he found the back of the net against the Eagles, becoming the first player in EPL history to score in nine successive outings against one club.

  • Norwich's defeat vs Watford was their 15th consecutive loss in the Premier League, all of which came under Daniel Farke's reign, making it the longest losing streak under a single manager in English top-flight history.

  • Man City's goalless draw with Southampton saw the Cityzens manage only one shot on target for the first time since March 2017.

Top matches to watch in the Premier League: Sept. 25-27, 2021

Chelsea vs Manchester City: This is the clash between the two title favorites! Chelsea are the most in-form team in the league while City look to bounce back from their disappointing goalless draw. Will Guardiola finally get the better of Thomas Tuchel or will the German beat the Spaniard for a fourth time in a row? Tune in to find out.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa: After that confidence-boosting win over West Ham, Man United will look to continue their streak when they host a tricky Aston Villa side next weekend. The Red Devils have lost the top spot to Chelsea due to goal difference, but with the Blues facing Man City in the upcoming round, Cristiano and Co. could capitalize should Tucheel's men slip up.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur: There's nothing like a North London Derby! Arsenal and Tottenham are gearing up for an exciting showdown, with both clubs enduring contrasting results so far. When the Gunners lost three in a row, Spurs won, conceding zero goals and marching to the top of the table. However, with Arteta's men now triumphing back-to-back games via a 1-0 score line, it's Nuno's side that cannot triumph, losing 3-0 against Palace and Chelsea. Can Harry Kane and Co. bounce back or will they suffer another Emirates Stadium defeat? Don't miss this tie.
