It might have been made harder than it should have been, but Arsenal mercifully scored three times against Aaron Ramsdale’s Southampton to grab an all-important three points. With the results of their title rivals, Mikel Arteta could not afford to drop any here. Like with the clash with Leicester City, there was still an air of inevitability. Thankfully, on this occasion, the Gunners did not leave it until stoppage time to score two goals and very swiftly levelled the scores after Cameron Archer’s goal.Arsenal avoided what was and is and forever will be the worst time to drop points. There…
Newcastle will be left to rue the Gordon penalty miss and the fact they did not have a proper striker to finish all the chances they created. Everton will be very pleased to have a point. Jordan Pickford: “We know playing against Newcastle is tough. We grafted and we’re at our best, but we were resilient. We can show more quality going forward. To get a point and not lose is important. “I watched the game against City and fancied him going to the keeper’s left and it’s come off my knee. He did not execute it perfectly. “He tried…

Now 10 matches into his Liverpool tenure, Arne Slot will be able to reflect back on what he has learned so far during the upcoming international break. A couple of weeks without a match will allow for some self-evaluation. And while the sample size remains relatively small, there is no doubt that it has made for promising viewing. Liverpool has bigger matches to come but get positive results against the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal in the coming weeks and Slot’s playing down of what has been achieved to date will become more difficult. The basic numbers up to this…

Ryan Gravenberch’s emergence under Arne Slot at Liverpool at the beginning of this season has impressed Jan Mulder, who thinks he may even be better than Clarence Seedorf and Edgar Davids. That at least when it comes to the midfielder’s elegance according to analyst Jan Mulder, who has been praising him this week to De Volkskrant, via FC Update. Gravenberch has been one of the shining lights of Slot’s reign at Anfield so far after a mixed first season at Anfield since arriving from Bayern Munich last year.
