From a disappointing title fight to Anthony Gordon’s star-making performance, we hand out honors (and dishonors) from the Premier League weekend
The Premier League is a confusing place right now. As if by accident, Arsenal went top over the weekend, defying claims Mikel Arteta’s team have struggled to reach the heights of last season. Liverpool, meanwhile, highlighted their title credentials with a point away to Manchester City despite the fact it extended the Reds’ run to just three wins from their last seven league games.
Only a month ago, Ange Postecoglou’s swashbuckling Tottenham Hotspur were top. Now, they’re fifth on the same number of points they had at this stage last season under Antonio Conte. Nothing, however, is as confusing as Manchester United’s form which is now the best in the Premier League. Has there ever been another crisis club on a six-match winning streak?
