Arsenal secured a decisive victory at Liverpool, breaking a historic winless streak dating back to 2012 and moving to the top of the Premier League. The 1-0 win at Anfield was highlighted by a missed penalty by referee Andy Madley for Jurriën Timber's shirt-pull on Alexander Isak. Experts argue this should have resulted in a red card under Laws 12, as the pull denied Isak a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
The win reinforces Arsenal's elite defensive team and willingness to play physical football. Meanwhile, Milan won the Serie A derby over Inter. Other stories include Man United's poor form at Chelsea, Real Madrid's La Liga win, Bayern Munich's draw against Dortmund, and ongoing narratives about Brighton, Tottenham, and Barcelona.
The piece also touches on Michael Carrick's Manchester United future.
