Both Manchester, Chelsea and Liverpool clubs are in the top five for the shortest time spent in the Premier League. But who is the first?
Norwich (327 minutos)
Daniel Farke’s team last led a Premier League game in February 2020. Prior to the goalless draw with Burnley, the least amount of time Norwich was behind in a game this season was 24 minutes against him. Arsenal in September.
Watford (265 minutes)
That will be the ‘negative trend’ that Watford cited when shooting Xisco Muñoz. They have won at least as many games as seven other teams, but only the doomed Norwich was left behind longer.
Arsenal (226 minutes)
August feels like a while ago. Arsenal lost three games, conceded nine goals and trailed Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City in the 22nd, 15th and seventh minutes respectively. In their next matches, Norwich and Burnley failed in no time to strike, Tottenham hit with a stroke of luck as they fell swaying and Brighton turned a pretty nice guy. Aaron Ramsdale had Jack Robinson in front of him and was noted for his surprising presence at Sheffield United when he last lost a Premier League match in May.
Aston Villa (220 minutes)
Late wins against Everton and Manchester United mean Aston Villa are no more than 45 minutes ahead of a Premier League match this season. On the contrary, Watford and Chelsea led them for at least 45 minutes and Tottenham had the advantage of their victory in North London for almost 60 minutes. No party has been away from home longer than Dean Smith’s men.
Leicester (217 minutes)
Leicester have only won the League Cup since August and you shouldn’t be surprised to see them score so high. His problem against Crystal Palace was: hold on to a leash, naturally. Brendan Rodgers has a few things to figure out.
Wolves (202 minutes)
Those three consecutive 1-0 losses to open the season have done some damage, as the Wolves faced Leicester, Tottenham and Manchester United for 139 minutes straight. Only Brentford has had an advantage against them since Bruno Lage’s small gains began to take effect.
Newcastle (195 minutes)
What do Newcastle fans want? Champions League Ranking Trophies? Not losing Premier League games for more than double the time they lead (94 minutes)? The fans will ask for it then treated with respect and common courtesy.
Leiden (184 minutes)
The Sun timed his xenophobic harassment to perfection, addressed to Marcelo Bielsa shortly before Leeds claimed their first Premier League win of the season against Watford. It was only the second game in which they were not left behind at some point, although only Manchester United and Liverpool have led them for more than 45 minutes.
Crystal Palace (172 minutos)
Winning a game of seven does not naturally lend itself to being ahead of significant periods. Crystal Palace is exactly one hour ahead, more than just Southampton (50 minutes) and Norwich, few clubs have been level for longer.
Burnley (169 minutes)
Then there’s Burnley, who is yet to win but is smack in the middle of the table when it comes to wasted time. Sean Dyche will bring us all back and there’s no point fighting him.
Brighton (165 minutes)
Nearly half of Brighton’s time this season can be attributed to Burnley, who took the lead in the second minute of their first meeting of the weekend before being fed back by Neal Maupay and Alexis MacAllister. Everton and Crystal Palace have led the Seagulls ever since, Graham Potter did not correct the previous deficit, but turned the second into a tie in injury time.
Westham (135 minutes)
The only teams that were shorter than West Ham (622 minutes) last season were Liverpool (608 minutes), Manchester United (599 minutes) and Manchester City (345 minutes). So far, David Moyes has struggled to replicate that strength consistently, to the point where two of West Ham’s three wins have come from lost positions.
Tottenham (134 minutes)
September feels like a while ago. Tottenham lost three games, conceded nine goals and trailed Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal in the 76th, 49th and 12th minutes, respectively. The curse felt real but Aston Villa gave them a push in the right direction.
Southampton (120 minutos)
Another team without a win but tough enough to last most of the games until the end, Southampton haven’t had a lead since their 25 minutes in the climb against Manchester United in August. The only other team they beat was Everton on opening day.
Everton (78 minutes)
No team has gained more points this season by losing positions in the Premier League than Everton, who defeated the Saints and Burnley after conceding first, before adding a point and Maybe all three win at Old Trafford?.
Manchester City (50 minutos)
The three goals that Manchester City have had to face this season have made them all obsolete. They couldn’t save anything when Heung-min Son gave Tottenham the lead after 55 minutes into their first game, but they managed to counter twice against Liverpool at Anfield to provide a breathless point.
Chelsea (37 minutes)
This was all against Manchester City and it should have been longer.
Manchester United (32 minutos)
That number looks really good. But eleven clubs have led the Premier League for the longest time this season and Manchester United are three minutes ahead of Watford. That the numbers don’t look good.
Liverpool (27 minutes)
Kai Havertz and Ethan Pinnock don’t have much in common on first viewing, but both have had a bit of a panic at Liverpool in the Premier League this season. Milan also led the Reds for six minutes at Anfield in Europe, but the wait is over. Jurgen Klopp He blamed Liverpool’s first loss on Des Kelly.
Brentford (24 minutos)
Well shit. It is an insult to suggest that Brentford is defending himself in the Premier League; they balance it positively. Brighton were the first team to leave them behind, and that was in the 90th minute, before Liverpool tried and were left with some scars. Norwich (586 minutes) and Watford (397 minutes) were the only teams to have less time in the championship than the Bees (618 minutes) last season. Their tracking trajectories differ somewhat.
