Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0 at Craven Cottage to re-establish a five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
All three goals were created by Leandro Trossard, with Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard finishing them off.
The team also witnessed a boost in attack as Gabriel Jesus made his return from injury as a late substitute.
Meanwhile, Manchester United struggled to secure a goalless draw in the game against Southampton as they had to play for an hour with 10 men following Casemiro’s second sending-off of the season.
In one of the most entertaining goalless draws, a revitalised Southampton hit the woodwork twice and United once.
The Brazilian was shown a straight red card for his challenge on Carlos Alcaraz after referee Anthony Taylor was advised by VAR to review his initial decision to only caution Casemiro.
West Ham were able to lift themselves out of the relegation zone with a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa after being awarded a soft penalty for Said Benrahma’s equaliser.
The result takes David Moyes’ side out of the relegation zone and above Bournemouth on goal difference as they ended Villa’s two-game winning streak to alleviate some of the pressure that was building after last Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing at Brighton.
