Premier League Match Week 15 Results

Arsenal lost its first Premier League game since August when Aston Villa’s Emi Buendia banged home a goal amid a mad scramble in the Arsenal box as time ran out. Buendia’s winner proved the final kick of the game as Aston Villa won its seventh consecutive match across all competitions. Arsenal will rue the chaotic nature of Buendia’s goal which might  not have happened if Arsenal’s normal starting center backs, Gabriel and Saliba, were available to lend calmness to the box proceedings. Unfortunately, both remain sidelined by injury. League leading Arsenal has failed to win three of its last five league matches and the lead in the table is down to two points after Manchester City easily disposed of Sunderland 3-0 at the Etihad.

While Arsenal lamented the absence of its central defenders, each of Manchester City’s center backs Ruben Diaz and Josko Gvardiol scored against the Black Cats. It was the third goal, however, that will be most remembered. Midfielder Ryan Cherki executed a stylish rabona cross to set up Phil Foden for a headed goal to send Sunderland home.

Crystal Palace replaced Chelsea in the top four after the Eagles’ Marc Guehi scored in the 87th minute to defeat Fulham 2-1 while Chelsea was held to a goalless draw at Bournemouth. Chelsea has now gone three matches without a win as title dreams are beginning to fade for the Blues. The Eagles, meanwhile, have won three out of four matches with Manager Oliver Glasner only continuing to burnish his resume. Crystal Palace’s success is a double-edged sword as it will be difficult to keep Glasner from jobs with bigger clubs in the future.

Everton is also hovering around the European places after winning for a fourth time in its last five league matches. The Toffees were 3-0 home winners over a Nottingham Forest team which was also playing well entering the match. Forest Manager Sean Dyche would have hoped for more against the club that sacked him last January. Dyche is doing a decent job these days keeping the Trees above the drop line but Moyes has the Toffees dreaming of Europe.

Thomas Frank has been under increasing pressure at Spurs, so it was a nice weekend for him when his side defeated his former Brentford club 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Xavi Simons, a summer signing from RB Leipzig, powered the win for Spurs by assisting Richarlison’s opening tally and then scoring his own first goal of his Premier League career.

A second season at Anfield has gone nothing like the first for Liverpool Manager Arne Slot. Everything seemed grand as the Reds cruised to the Premier League title in Slot’s first season. This season, not so much. Liverpool now has just four wins in its last 15 matches after blowing two different leads in a 3-3 final at Leeds. Adding to the manager’s woes is the collapse of his relationship with Liverpool star Mohamed Salah. Slot benched Salah three matches ago and the gifted winger let his feelings be known to reporters after the Leeds match. Salah claims to have been “thrown under the bus” and made the scapegoat for Liverpool’s problems. He went on to describe how he has “no relationship” with Slot and that the upcoming Brighton game might be his last in a Liverpool shirt. The explosion was entirely predictable when Slot, beset with numerous on the pitch issues, elected to sit the temperamental but uber talented Salah who led the Premier League in goals and assists last season. Personnel and style changes made by Slot have contributed to Salah’s lessened effectiveness this season.

Things are looking a bit better at Manchester United after the Red Devils hammered dreadful Wolves by a 4-1 margin at Molineux Stadium. The Red Devils had some nervous early moments in a game that was tied at halftime, but a dominant second half moved Manchester United to sixth in the Premier League table and eased the ever-present pressure on Manager Ruben Amorim. Meanwhile there were no changes in the land of the lost where Wolverhampton rules at the bottom of the Premier League table. Relegation bound Burnley fell 2-1 to Newcastle while needing to play the entire second half while down to ten men after Lucas Pires was booted in the 43rd minute for an unlawful challenge to Newcastle’s Anthony Elanga. West Ham fared better than their relegation brothers Burnley and Wolverhampton by grabbing a point in a 1-1 contest at Brighton. Sadly though, the Hammers had a chance at all three points until Brighton’s equalizer came on a stoppage time goal by Georginio Rutterto. The loss of those two additional points kept the Hammers in the relegation zone below barely safe Nottingham Forest.
