The 23rd round of the Premier League opened today (Saturday) with five games, and in the first of them, Arsenal lost 1: 0 to Aston Villa. Subsequently, Burnley and Brighton shared points after a 1-1 draw, Newcastle scored an important 2-3 draw over Southampton, and Fulham and West Ham drew 0-0.

Aston Villa – Arsenal 0: 1
With three losses and two wins in the last five games, Dean Smith’s players have continued their fickle ability, and thankfully, this time it was enough for them to beat the Gunners, who have accumulated a single point in the last three rounds.

The winning goal came just two minutes later, with the 10th season of maybe Watkins from Bertrand Traore’s cooking, which Arsenal could not find an answer to. Purchase Martin Edgor came on in the 65th minute, but failed to help his new team keep Emiliano Martinez, thus keeping the Argentine goalkeeper clean for a second time in front of the ex.


Newcastle – Southampton 2: 3
The crisis among the saints is at its height. After the humiliating 9-0 defeat at Manchester United, the visitors suffered their fifth consecutive league loss, while Newcastle have achieved just a second win in the last 12 rounds. The host started well and went up to a double advantage in the 26th minute, when Alan Saint-Maximin provided two assists, to Joe Willock (16) and Miguel Elmiron ten minutes later. 4 minutes passed, and Tacomi Minamino, in his first game since being loaned from Liverpool, shrank, but Elmiron completed a double in extra time and increased to 1: 3 in the 45 + 4 minute. At the start of the second half (48), James Ward Fraus provided a great free-kick and narrowed the result, which did not change until the whistle.

Fulham – West Ham 0: 0
The most significant incident in the match came only in the 97th minute, when Thomas Sochek, West Ham’s Czech midfielder, received a red card at the end of a check by Michael Dean on the video screen and following an elbow doubt sent by Sochek towards one of the opponent’s players. The host recorded no less than 20 threats towards the goal, but only two of them also reached the frame – a figure that explains why it is ranked below the red line and eight points away from a safe shore.
