Arsenal were unable to get past the solid opposition defence. The Gunners were probably closest to scoring in the 87th minute but Nketiah was not mature enough for goalkeeper Pope. The London leaders have not won at home for the first time in the league. But both sides are unbeaten in the Premier League for some time: Arsenal on 11 games and Newcastle on 13.
Casemiro opened the scoring in the 23rd minute to guide Manchester United to a fourth consecutive league win at Old Trafford. Shaw added the insurance shortly after the break and Rashford also scored in the 86th minute.
16th-placed Everton suffered a 1:4 debacle at home to Brighton. Mitoma gave the visitors the lead in the 14th minute, Ferguson, March and Gross scored between the 51st and 57th minutes. In setting up the Liverpool side’s defeat, Gray softened up with a converted penalty. The “Seagulls” are in eighth place, they scored points for the third time in a row.
Newcomers Fulham won 1-0 at Leicester with a goal from Mitrovic to extend their winning streak to three rounds and are in seventh position. The hosts lose for the third consecutive time and are thirteenth.
