Liverpool’s Mo Salah scored the winning goal once morest Manchester City in the 76th minute to make it 1-0 (0-0). Team manager Jürgen Klopp cheered in the stands: After an emotional outburst, he saw the red card shortly before the end.

Man City have not scored in the Premier League for the first time since mid-April and suffered their first defeat since February. Coach Pep Guardiola said: “We should have played a perfect game but we made a mistake. Teams like that punish you for that in such close games.” In the table, the “Citizens” are second.
Hits by the “Citizens” do not count
Once the ball was in the Liverpool goal – only the goal didn’t count. However, Erling Haaland had previously knocked down his opponent Fabinho, referee Anthony Taylor correctly retracted Phil Foden’s goal (53′).
Arsenal defend league lead
A few hours earlier, Arsenal FC had won once morest Leeds United with difficulty. Bukayo Saka scored the winning goal in the 35th minute. It was the ninth win in ten Premier League games of the season for team manager Mikel Arteta’s side. Arsenal remain top of the table.
The game started strangely. Referee Chris Kavanagh had technical problems communicating with his assistants in Leeds due to a power failure. The game was therefore interrupted for more than half an hour.
However, the victory of the “Gunners” was not without risk. Patrick Bamford had scored for Leeds in the 47th minute but the celebration was short-lived. However, the VAR got in touch – and the goal was disallowed because Bamford fouled opponent Gabriel.
It was Bamford who squandered the best chance of an equalizer following just over an hour, when he put a penalty just wide of the target.
Double packer Mount rewards Chelsea

Chelsea have so far won all games under Potter, who took over as coach from Thomas Tuchel regarding a month ago.
Before the game, the Londoners had to cope with a shock. Defender Reece James is expected to be out for eight weeks following a knee ligament injury and will probably miss the World Cup in Qatar (November 20 to December 18) with England.
home game can the “Spurs”
