Maningi amathuba okuthi amaribhini azofakwa kwindebe ye-Premier League azoba luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngemuva kokuthi i-Arsenal ihlulwe ekhaya i-Brighton emahoreni ambalwa i-Manchester City iphinde yanqoba.
I-Citizens akekho ongayivimba. Ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ngemuva komdlalo owandulela owamanqamu we-Champions League e-Madrid, u-Erling Haaland kanye nozakwabo badlale ngokuzimisela ukuze bahlale bephezulu.
U-Ilkay Gundogan ubandakanyeke emagolini amathathu abengenza i-Everton ishayeke phansi kanti umdlalo wangeSonto ntambama e-Merseyside ube nemiphumela phezulu naphansi kwetafula le-Premier League.
Ama-Toffees ashintshane ngemuva ngesigamu sokuqala sehora, kodwa akakwazanga ukuqhubeka isikhathi eside ngesikhathi uGundogan eshaya igoli wabe esecupha uHaaland emizuzwini embalwa ngaphambi kwekhefu.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi lwekhefu, kube amagoli amathathu njengoba i-Germsny ithole igoli futhi yanikeza iqembu likaPep Guardiola ukunqoba kweshumi nanye kwiligi kulandelana.
I-Everton manje isisele ngephuzu elilodwa njengoba izoba nohambo oluya e-Molineux ukuyobhekana nama-Wolves ngokulandelayo ngaphambi kokwamukela i-Bournemouth ngosuku lokugcina.
Komunye umdlalo wangeSonto, i-Brentford ihlule i-West Ham ngamagoli amabili eqandeni okuyigoli elishawe uBryan Mbeumo noYoane Wissa futhi abasize ukubabeka endaweni yesishiyagalolunye.
Emdlalweni wakamuva, i-Gunners ithole ithuba lokuyigcina kodwa yabhaxabulwa i-Brighton kanti ama-Seagulls ahole umdlalo ngesiwombe sesibili.
Amagoli ashawe uJulio Enciso, uDeniz Undav kanye noPervis Estupinan abasize banqoba ngamagoli amathathu eqandeni, kanti i-Arsenal manje njengamanje isinamagoli angu-25 ekhaya kwiligi kule sizini okudlula noma yimuphi omunye umkhankaso selokhu bathuthela e-Emirates ngo-2006.
Ukuhlulwa kusho ukuthi ompetha be-City bahamba phambili ngamaphuzu amane kuma-Gunners njengoba inomdlalo esandleni futhi idinga ukuwina owodwa kuphela kwemithathu esele ukuze ibambe isicoco.
Umphumela wabafana bakaRoberto De Zerbi ubanikele amaphuzu amane kune-Liverpool esendaweni yesihlanu, nomdlalo esandleni kuma-Reds, azobhekana ne-Leicester ngoMsombuluko ebusuku.
