Liverpool: 13 points clear with a game in hand. Surely that’s the end of the title race? 👉
LEICESTER, England — When Liverpool lifts the English Premier League trophy in May — barring a monumental collapse — the end of a three-decade title drought will owe a lot to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The move that led to the penalty being awarded, inevitably came from another of Alexander-Arnold’s crosses which was handled by Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu.BOURNEMOUTH, England — Mikel Arteta liked what he saw in his first game in charge of Arsenal, even though his side needed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s equalizer to draw at Bournemouth 1-1 in the English Premier League on Thursday.
"I was worried what would have happened if we conceded a goal and we did," Arteta said. "I was very pleased with the character that they showed, how they come in at halftime, their faces, their reactions, how much they wanted it." He has much work to do after replacing Unai Emery and interim coach Freddie Ljunberg, with home games against Chelsea on Sunday and Manchester United on Jan. 1.
"To be fair his attitude in training since the day that I walked into the building has been incredible," Arteta said. `’I said I was going to give a clean slate to everybody, and it was fair to give it to him as well … we could have put two or three goals into the net because of him."LONDON — Playing at home is giving Chelsea the blues.
By contrast, it was a second consecutive away win for coach Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton, and his selection of Michael Obafemi ahead of striker Danny Ings paid off in spectacular style in the 31st minute. Earlier, he had not been able to contain his exuberance after Obafemi’s goal, sprinting out of his technical area to celebrate it wildly.
"We were the greatest thing in the world, they were the greatest players and I was a great manager and today it’s questioned," he said. "That’s when you see the strength of character of someone, I would say." BIRMINGHAM, England — Conor Hourihane helped Aston Villa’s English Premier League survival hopes by sealing a 1-0 victory over Norwich on Thursday.
