The Premier League offered up four enthralling games on Sunday with the headline act coming from the Emirates.
Hereâs what went down âŚ
Scorers: Saka 14â˛, Martinelli 67â˛, Trossard 90+2â˛; Gabriel (OG) 45+3â˛
Sent off: KonatĂŠ 88â˛
Arsenal cut Liverpoolâs lead in the Premier League title race down to two points with a comprehensive 3-1 win.
Mikel Artetaâs side sliced through the Reds to take the lead as Bukayo Saka swept home the rebound after Kai Havertzâs saved shot.
But a defensive mishap between William Saliba and David Raya allowed Luis DĂaz to level on the stroke of half-time via a Gabriel deflection.
Another mix-up after the interval, this time between Alisson and Virgil van Dijk allowed Martinelli to roll the ball into an empty net.
Matters worsened for JĂźrgen Kloppâs men as Ibrahima KonatĂŠ was sent off for his second bookable offence in the game.
In added time, substitute Leandro Trossard inflicted the final nail with a low effort through the legs of Alisson.
Scorers: Højlund 22â˛, Garnacho 49Ⲡ84â˛
Alejandro Garnacho scored twice in the second half as Manchester United beat West Ham 3-0.
The first opportunity came 10 minutes as in Tomas Soucek headed in from a corner but his effort was saved superbly by Andre Onana.
But it was the hosts who scored first as Rasmus Højlund skipped past one defender and fired in with a stunning low effort.
After the break the Hammers had an early opportunity to equalise as Emerson waltzed into the area but fired over when it looked easier to hit the target.
And then within seconds, United doubled their advantage as Alejandro Garnacho took the ball on the edge of the area and saw his deflected shot go past Fabianski.
The Argentine youngster netted his second of the afternoon late on as he raced into the box and fired in a low drive into the opposite corner.
Scorers: Palmer 19ⲠThiago Silva 86â˛; Cunha 22Ⲡ63Ⲡ(PEN) 83â˛, AĂŻt-Nouri 43â˛
The pressure on Mauricio Pochettino went up a level on Sunday as his Chelsea side lost 4-2 at home to Wolves.
Wolves enjoyed the first chance of the afternoon as Neto powered down the left before firing a shot at the near post that was saved by Petrovic.
But it was the home side who took the lead on 19 minutes as Cole Palmer finished calmly inside the area.
That lead didnât last long though as Matheus Cunha equalised for Wolves just three minutes later with a deflected effort.
Just before the break it was Gary OâNeilâs side who went ahead as another deflected effort â this time from Rayan AĂŻt-Nouri â beat the stranded Blues goalkeeper.
After the break Raheem Sterling had a golden opportunity to bring Chelsea level but his effort went wide of the right-hand post after more good work from Palmer.
Wolves went even further ahead however as Cunha added a third after some great work down the right by Pedro Neto.
It became a drubbing late on as Cunha scored from the penalty spot to net his hat-trick.
Thiago Silva pulled one back for the home side with four minutes to go to make the score slightly less embarrassing for Pochettinoâs side.
Scorers: Kluivert 5â˛; Hudson-Odoi 45â˛
A lovely Callum Hudson-Odoi goal was enough to see Nottingham Forest draw 1-1 with 10-man Bournemouth.
After Evertonâs draw with Tottenham on Saturday, Nottingham Forest came into this encounter just one point above the Toffees in 17th place.
But it took Bournemouth just five minutes to take the lead as Justin Kluivert tapped in at the far post.
Andoni Iraloaâs side were in charge for most of the half but went into the break level with Forest as Callum Hudson-Odoi netted just before the break.
Into the second half and things got harder for the hosts as Philip Billing was sent off for scraping down on Hudson-Odoiâs achilles.
Monday night sees Manchester City travel to Brentford for the final game of matchweek 23.
