Yeah, Southampton scored too early. Kai Havertz has scored for the fourth sport in a row to carry Arsenal stage at the Emirates. Downes’ lazy move was intercepted by Partey, who fed the ball shortly into Havertz on the fringe of the D. He moved the ball onto his left foot and lasered a shot off the within the put up and into the internet. Ramsdale had no probability.

Cameron Archer has put Southampton forward at the Emirates! Fernandes launched him on the left wing with an early crossfield move. Archer lower inside, stood Saliba (I feel) up and guided a low shot into the far nook. Excellent end.

They’ve scored too early, haven’t they.

“I think you’re right about the extreme specificity of the defensive midfielder role,” says Phil Podolsky. “It’s hardly a coincidence that Spanish football’s two great DMs this century were coached by Guardiola. During Sergio Busquets’s long twilight at Barcelona he kept hearing that he should be shifted forward to the Xavi role because he no longer has the athleticism for defensive duties, yet he kept saying it can’t be done, the body shape you need to adopt when you receive the ball is too different!”

Yeah, and I suppose the function is much more particular in a Pep staff.

RODRI WHO? Mateo Kovacic has scored a good looking second aim to place City forward. Foden’s cross was managed by Bernardo Silva, who teed up the onrushing Kovacic on the fringe of the D. He skilfully ignored Berge’s problem and swept an emphatic shot previous Bernd Leno.

“Need Rodri?” sniffs Zach Neeley. “Pep’s teams don’t need anyone! The whole endeavour is to prevent needing any one player. The players don’t even need to decide what to do, Pep scripts that for them. He is a rock, he is an island. I think I have him figured out now, Pep and Paul Simon even both like cable knits.”

GOAL! Leverkusen 2-2 Holstein Kiel (Arp 69 pen)

Long afternoon my foot! Jann-Fiete Arp’s penalty has equalised for the backside membership Kiel, who have been 2-0 down after eight minutes at Leverkusen

Bundesliga Julian Ryerson has given Dortmund a sniff away to Union Berlin. They path 2-1 with round 20 minutes to play.

“For some reason,” says Stephen Cottrell, “your admission that you hadn’t seen the chance in the West Ham game reminded me of Alan Partridge not having seen Driving Miss Daisy, or indeed Bangkok Chick Boys.”

Diverting stuff as at all times in the Premier League. These are the half-time scores.

Mohammed Kudus provides West Ham a deserved lead simply earlier than half-time. Michail Antonio’s header hit the underside of the crossbar and Kudus hung in the air for an age to go previous Arijanet Muric.

The prime of the Premier League desk (because it stands)

43 min: Arsenal 0-0 Southampton Even although Arsenal have dominated all through, Aaron Ramsdale hasn’t had a save to make. Yet.

West Ham 1-1 Ipswich Two close to misses for West Ham: Mohammed Kudus hits the put up when he ought to have scored*, then Tomas Soucek has a shot cleared off the line.

* Allegedly, I haven’t seen it

Man City 1-1 Fulham

“I made this point earlier, but for a top side to not have a ready-made replacement for a key player – or even one that can do 90 per cent of the role – and have to use a squarer peg in the round hole left, is bordering on negligent, doubly so if you have almost unlimited oil wealth behind you,” says Andy Flintoff.

Maybe the drawback is that, as a result of it’s such a particular function, the again up is unlikely to begin greater than 10 video games a season when Rodri is match, and anybody price a rattling received’t accept that. There aren’t many top-class No6s who may play one other function. Declan Rice I suppose, and City did go for him didn’t they? I nonetheless
