00:00This weekend's Premier League action delivered high drama, shifting momentum at the top and producing memorable results across the board.
00:11Arsenal's ascent, Chelsea's last gasp winner and the end of Crystal Palace's run with Spurs' gritty win all of their mark on the league table.
00:21Arsenal quietly stamped their authority with a 2-0 win over West Ham at the Emirates.
00:26Declan Rice opened the scoring before Bukayo Saka, from the spot, a double bleed.
00:32Despite losing Martin Odegaard to injury in the first half, Arsenal maintained control and climbed to the top of the table.
00:40Yeah, well, the last two games they've been very special in that sense in Newcastle because we had a history there, a lot of scars and a lot of learnings to take.
00:48We put that right and then we had West Ham with losing two games at home the previous two seasons.
00:53I told them it was a big opportunity.
00:56We had very difficult fixtures since the start of the season, some very bad injuries as well, not helping.
01:03And still, the team is performing, playing well, winning today with, I think, absolute dominance and without conceding a goal.
01:10So, good to get to international break in this spirit.
01:14Well, I think he had a clash knee-to-knee and immediately he was uncomfortable.
01:19I just spoke to him.
01:20He's not positive about it.
01:23He's got a brazen.
01:24We'll have to wait and see from the doctors.
01:26But we haven't been very unlucky with that either.
01:29At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea edged Liverpool 2-1 in dramatic fashion.
01:34Moises Caicedo's early strike was cancelled out by Cody Gakpo.
01:38Only four late substitutes Esteval to slide in the winner in stoppage time.
01:43The result dents Liverpool's momentum and hands Chelsea a morale-boosting victory.
01:48I believe because, no, not just this week, a few weeks that we've been holding, you know, emotions because we, in the last couple of games, we've been playing well.
02:00But we finished a few games with ten players and we couldn't win the game.
02:08Today was really important.
02:10But at the same time, we finished with a back four that is not usual for fullbacks.
02:16The players did it really well.
02:18The players from the bench were ready to go and ready to play.
02:24They did a really good effort.
02:26They played in different positions.
02:28They didn't ask for a question.
02:30They just went inside the pitch and they did it fantastic.
02:33So, I think, also because if we had chances in the 80s or something like that, and if we had scored, probably nothing happened.
02:42But because the goal was in the 90s or something, that gave the emotions to Enzo to run.
02:51I believe he done it against Benfica in the Club World Cup.
02:56And we were so happy about those things.
03:00But, yeah, today is a great victory for us.
03:06In Merseyside, Crystal Palace's impressive 19-match unbeaten streak came to an end at Everton.
03:14The visitors had earlier taken the lead through Daniel Munoz.
03:17But Ilman and Dye equalised from the spot.
03:20And Jack Grealish struck deep in stoppage time to hand Everton a 2-1 win.
03:24Let's say this is maybe the missing link to be really a top team in the Premier League is having this efficiency and decide the game when you can decide.
03:33I think you don't have more clear chances than we had in the first 60 minutes when you play away at Everton.
03:37Very good team, very well organised.
03:40And then as long as it's 1-0, it's always everything is possible.
03:46And then we made one mistake in defence.
03:48And we don't make many mistakes in our defence.
03:51But we made one and they got the penalty and the game was open.
03:55Finally, Tottenham travelled to Leeds United and secured a 2-1 victory ending Leeds' long home-unbeaten run.
04:02Matthias Tell struck early for Spurs.
04:04Okafor equalised.
04:05But Mohamed Kouders netted his first goal for the club to clinch the win for Thomas Frank's side.
04:12Which I think that's part of that.
04:14If you want to achieve anything, you need to do that.
04:18So overall start, a good start.
04:20But yeah, we need to continue, of course.
04:24Arsenal now lead with confidence.
04:26Chelsea proved they're capable of late magic.
04:28Palace's resilience was finally broken.
04:31And Spurs showed they can grind out results away from home.
04:35As the international break looms, the stage is now set for an even more intense stretch once the action returns.
