Champions Liverpool's 3-2 defeat at Brentford on Saturday gave Arsenal the chance to move seven points clear of Arne Slot’s side and they did just that with Eberechi Eze scoring the only goal against his old club.

City were unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions since a stumbling start to the campaign but they came unstuck at Villa Park where Matty Cash's goal earned his side a fourth successive league win to lift them to eighth.

Tottenham's impressive away form continued with a 3-0 win at Everton to move them third — defender Micky van de Ven’s headed double in the first half helping the visitors become the first side to win at Everton’s new home.

Bournemouth continue to punch above their weight as a 2-0 home victory over Nottingham Forest moved them second while bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers remain winless following a 3-2 defeat at home to promoted Burnley.
