With Arsenal narrowly winning 1-0 + Manchester City winning 2-0, the latest Premier League standings: only 2 points separate 2-7th place

The war in the 8th round of the Premier League has reignited, and the battle for the top spot has begun again! On one side, Manchester City, with the Blue Moon Legion in full swing, beat Everton 2-0 at home. Haaland once again scored twice, and the crazy statistics of 21 goals in 11 games shocked the whole of Europe; on the other side, Arsenal had a fierce battle with local rival Fulham in the early morning. Dzekirais repeatedly missed opportunities, Calafiore's goal was disallowed, and Trossard turned the tide and made the final decision. In the end, the Gunners narrowly defeated their opponents 1-0 and reached the top of the table with five consecutive victories, knocking down Manchester City who had just climbed to the top of the list.

Manchester City 2-0 Everton

After the international break, Guardiola's team has recovered. Facing the tenacious defense of Everton, although Manchester City was unable to open up the situation in the first half, after changing sides and fighting again, the Nordic striker Haaland started the "crazy" mode.

In the 58th minute, Foden sent a through ball, O'Reilly passed in, and Haaland's header from the center blasted Pickford's fingers. Manchester City broke the deadlock 1-0.

Only 3 minutes later, Manchester City struck again. Savinho knocked back in an inverted triangle. Harland was unmarked in the middle and easily pushed the ball into the goal. Manchester City 2-0. In just 4 minutes, Harland scored twice, which made Guardiola happy on the sidelines. This is also Haaland's 11th consecutive game to score, with 13 goals in 10 games in all competitions, and leads the Premier League scorer list with 11 goals. He even had a chance to complete a hat trick in the final period, but it was a pity that his single-handed push shot missed the empty goal at the last moment. Manchester City has returned to the top of the table with 13 points from 5 games. However, a few hours later, a London derby victory would knock them off the top of the table.

Arsenal 1-0 Fulham

At Craven Cottage Stadium in the early morning, Arsenal ushered in the London derby with Fulham. In terms of paper strength alone, it was not a big problem for the Gunners to score all 3 points, but the process made Arteta very "furious". Only 10 minutes into the game, Fulham's Harry Wilson sent a direct pass. Jimenez's shot was saved by Raya, and the Gunners escaped.

Only 6 minutes later, Rice made a long pass to start a fast break. Trossard made a cross pass with the instep of his outside foot. Calafiore scored with a powerful shot. Coach Arteta celebrated with a fist pump. However, VAR ruled that the goal was offside and the goal was invalid. This was the first time the Gunners had a goal in vain.

Change sides and fight again. In the 49th minute, Saka made a pass from the right, and Dzekeresh missed a chance to score a goal. In the 55th minute, there was a melee in front of the goal. Dzekelesh, who was ambushing in the penalty area, was saved first by the opponent's defender. The camera quickly captured the Swedish forward slapping the turf in annoyance, and Arteta frowned on the sidelines.

Until the 59th minute, Saka passed the corner kick, Gabriel headed the ball backwards, and Trossard succeeded in outflanking and pushing the ball from behind. Arsenal broke the deadlock 1-0. After that, Rice made a penalty kick, but the penalty was canceled after VAR review, and the Gunners were happy to have a double shot. In the end, Arsenal scored all 3 points 1-0 without any danger, won five consecutive victories in all competitions, and overtook Manchester City again with a 3-point advantage, returning to the top of the standings!
