Arsenal top week three of the Premier League performance table after overturning Chelsea, while Fulham slump to the bottom following a chaotic home loss to Crystal Palace.
According to NY Times, this weekly ranking resets every gameweek and judges only the latest display, not the official standings.
Conceding inside two minutes, Mikel Arteta’s champions responded with what he later described as an avalanche. Martin Odegaard ran the game, Kai Havertz knitted attacks and Ezri Konsa impressed, before a slick move ended with Odegaard’s winner in a 2-1 victory.
Sunderland were outstanding before half-time at Brentford and earned a point late on through Enzo Le Fee’s penalty in a 1-1 draw. Brian Brobbey led the line well and Noah Sadiki shone.
Leeds overwhelmed Brighton early, Ao Tanaka excelling and hitting the bar before an offside denied him. Daniel Farke felt his side should have been out of sight by the break in a 1-1 draw.
Liverpool’s press crackled at Ipswich, Alexander Isak striking twice inside nine minutes from Cody Gakpo passes in a 2-0 win. Ronald Araujo looked comfortable deputising at right-back, though the visitors were not flawless.
Fulham had 25 shots, 64 touches in the box and Josh King starred, yet their high-risk approach left gaps. Palace exploited them to win 3-2, leaving Alvaro Arbeloa with no points and seven conceded.
