New year. New manager. New hope. The Gunners kickstarted the year with a very convincing victory against Man United, where new boss Mikel Arteta earned his first win.

Aston Villa: Aston Villa 2-1 Watford
This game was a massive six pointer. Villa go behind at home, it’s not looking good. They equalise in the 68th minute. Then, with the game finishing a draw, Mings pokes in the winner in the 95th minute. Crucial goal. Absolute limbs.

Bournemouth: Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth
The Cherries seem to absolutely love playing Chelsea. Late on with the game at deadlock still, another draw looks likely. Then, Dan Gosling scores with an unlikely finish in the final 10 minutes. Proper away goal and sucker punch.

Brighton: Brighton 3-0 Spurs
Class performance from the Seagulls. Dismantled Tottenham. The very promising Aaron Connolly gave Spurs a miserable afternoon, with an impressive brace, on his first ever Premier League start.

Burnley: Manchester United 0-2 Burnley
After a run of 4 straight league defeats, the Clarets then went and beat Leicester and Man United in the same week. A classic away performance under the lights, and a notable thunderbastard from homeboy Jay Rodriguez to make it 2-0.

Chelsea: Spurs 0-2 Chelsea
A comfortable win that felt very sweet indeed for the Blue side of London, in a proper crunch game. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard outdid his former manager Jose Mourinho, as Willian was on top form, with two goals.

Crystal Palace: Crystal Palace 2-1 West Ham
Could’ve picked a few games. But in this London derby, Jordan Ayew audaciously bagged a sublime solo goal in the 90th minute, something many wouldn’t even attempt at the end of the game. Bodies were sent flying in the home end.

Everton: Everton 3-1 Chelsea
Return of the Toffees legend Big Dunc, but as caretaker manager. Richarlison starts the victory with a well taken header early doors. A late error from Kepa then confirms the win, which proceeds limbs, including on the touchline.

Leicester City : Southampton 0-9 Leicester City
Most likely already knew which game was coming before you swiped. The 24 year old record of the biggest Premier League win was equalled on this Friday night on the South Coast. This is what we call utter, utter, utter hammering.

Liverpool: Leicester City 0-4 Liverpool
A big statement from the Reds. With Liverpool leading, they travelled to nearest competitors Leicester and utterly crushed them. Showed that they weren’t messing about. An exceptional performance by RB Trent Alexander-Arnold, with a goal.

Man City: Man City 8-0 Watford
City were in an unstoppable mode as they crushed Watford. 5 goals in the opening 18 minutes. Game over already. Lethal attacking. Enough needed to be said.

Man United: Man United 2-0 Man City
A passionate Manchester derby victory. An unbelievably cheeky assist from new boy Bruno Fernandes showed a glimpse of what’s to come, followed by more with Scott McTominay’s late strike when City were piling on the pressure.

Newcastle United: Newcastle United 1-0 Man United
Could’ve gone with the late Chelsea win. But decided this one meant more. Beating one of the big boys in front of the Gallowgate, with one of your own scoring the crucial winner on his top-flight debut. Pretty special that.

Norwich City: Norwich City 3-2 Man City
A game that made the whole league stop and watch in disbelief. The underdogs defying the odds and beating the previously impeccable reigning champions. 8 players missing for the Canaries, but the Pukki Party continued.

Sheffield United: Sheffield United 1-0 Arsenal
This game showed us that Sheffield United weren’t just heard for the sake of it. Monday night at the Lane and Arsenal are stunned. One of many games where they have taken points from the traditional ‘big 6’.

Southampton: Leicester 1-2 Southampton
The Saints got redemption in a crucial away victory, whilst denting Leicester’s title hopes. A huge victory. Prolific goalscorer Danny Ings bags the winner late on, after coming from behind.

Watford: Watford 3-0 Liverpool
The most obvious one yet? Liverpool remained undefeated, however incame Ismaila Sarr in a second half rout of the league leaders. A deserved victory after a class all round team performance from the Hornets.

West Ham: Chelsea 0-1 West Ham
No feeling like winning a local derby. Goalkeeper David Martin was in tears after his debut. The son of Hammers legend Alvin, was picked instead of Spanish keeper Roberto, with Aaron Creswell scoring the winner in front of the away fans.

Wolves: Wolves 3-2 Man City
One of the games of the season. 10 men City blew a 2 goal lead. Adama Traoré ran riot, scoring then assisting the equaliser. Matt Doherty tucked in a late winner, sending the South Bank crazy. Only the 2nd side to complete the double over Pep’s City.
