On the podcast today: Liverpool go top thanks to a jaw-dropping late free kick from Dominik Szoboszlai in an otherwise forgettable game at Anfield. The panel dissect whether Arsenal missed their moment, and if Mikel Arteta set up too negatively.

Elsewhere, Manchester City suffer a second defeat in three as James Milner rolls back the years to make history, and Brajan Gruda seals a famous win for Brighton. Are Pep Guardiola’s side in crisis again, or is it just a blip?

Manchester United leave it late again, with Bruno Fernandes converting a 97th-minute penalty to relieve pressure on Ruben Amorim. Graham Potter’s West Ham scored three goals in eight minutes at the City Ground, and Chelsea enjoyed some VAR luck (again) in a 2-0 win over Fulham, sparking more apologies from PGMO.

Plus: Everton and Bournemouth vie for the title of the Premier League’s most fun-to-watch team, Aston Villa collapse against Palace, Sunderland leave it late, Leeds and Newcastle forget to entertain, and Philippe marvels at a João Neves hat-trick.
