Arsenal win over Brighton puts them back on top as Liverpool fails against Man Utd

Kai Havertz celebrates Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Brighton, while Liverpool's stalemate against Manchester United sees them lose top spot.

Arsenal's German midfielder Kai Havertz celebrated scoring the team's second goal during the English Premier League football match between Arsenal and Brighton and Hove Albion at the Emirates Stadium in London on Sunday. In a thrilling match, Arsenal secured a 2-0 home victory against Brighton & Hove Albion, propelling them back to the top of the Premier League. This victory came before morning leaders Liverpool played out a disappointing 0-0 stalemate at home to Manchester United.

Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz were the heroes of the match, as their goals sealed the points for Arsenal, lifting them to 39 points from 17 games. This put them ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa, who both stood at 38 points. Meanwhile, Villa's surprise title challenge continued to gather pace with a 2-1 victory from a stormy away clash at Brentford.

West Ham United also had a successful match, easing to a 3-0 home victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, securing them in eighth place. This was a significant achievement for Arsenal, especially after their title hopes were dealt a blow last season when they lost 3-0 at home to Brighton. However, this time, Mikel Arteta's side outclassed the south-coast club with a ruthless display.

Despite Liverpool's dominance in their later match against Manchester United, they were unable to secure a win, ending with a 0-0 draw. This was a surprising result, especially as Liverpool had 34 goal attempts but could not make any of them count. For United, it was a small step in the right direction after a run of poor results at home and in Europe.

Villa's home record is impressive, with 15 league wins on the bounce, but Unai Emery's side is now starting to pick up points on the road. They could potentially go top of the league on Friday when they host bottom club Sheffield United. The match between Villa and Brentford was not without its drama, with Watkins scoring a late winner and an ugly melee breaking out in the Brentford net.

Overall, it was an eventful weekend in the Premier League, with exciting matches and surprising results. Arsenal's victory, Liverpool's draw, and Villa's impressive performance have kept the league table tight and the competition fierce. The Premier League continues to be an unpredictable and thrilling competition, with each match bringing new surprises and excitement.
