In the English Premier League, champions Manchester City stumbled against Wolverhampton Wanderers, who were unable to win a league game at home at the beginning of May. Liverpool FC could benefit from the Cityzens’ first bankruptcy. Arsenal FC wins with the first goal from national player Kai Havertz.
In the English Premier League, the champions were hit on matchday 7: Manchester City made a mistake for the first time this season before the Champions League duel with RB Leipzig. The English soccer champions lost 1:2 (0:1) at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the afternoon, but remain top of the table for the time being. Team manager Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool FC could overtake Tottenham Hotspur in the evening with a win (6.30 p.m./Sky and in the live ticker on ntv.de). Coach Pep Guardiola sat in the stands with a yellow card. On Wednesday (9 p.m.) the Cityzens will be playing in the premier class in Leipzig.
An own goal from City defense chief Rúben Dias (13th) and a goal from former Leipzig player Hwang Hee-Chan (66th) caused the second City setback within a few days. On Wednesday the club lost 1-0 at Newcastle United in the League Cup. The interim 1:1 by world champion Julian Alvarez was not enough (58th). During the week, City had said goodbye to the national league cup surprisingly early, in the third round.
First league goal for Havertz for Arsenal
Meanwhile, national player Kai Havertz scored for his new team for the first time in the league in Arsenal FC’s 4-0 (2-0) win at AFC Bournemouth. The offensive player made it 3-0 for the runner-up with a penalty kick in the 53rd minute. The other goals for the Gunners were scored by Bukayo Saka (17th), Martin Ødegaard (44th) and Ben White (90th + 3). Arsenal were able to reduce the gap to Manchester City to one point.
Meanwhile, record champions Manchester United remain in crisis. Bayern Munich’s group opponents in the Champions League lost 0-1 (0-1) to Crystal Palace and are only in midfield. Without national player Pascal Groß, who is still ailing, Brighton & Hove Albion lost clearly 1:6 (0:3) at Aston Villa, but is still in the extended top group. Ollie Watkins scored three times (14th/21st/65th).
