Newcastle played very well against Crystal Palace. They demolished and humiliated Crystal Palace with their fine play and quick attacking forces. Statistics also reviewed Newcastle's dominance in every field of play. I think every other club in the Premier League should be wary of their rapid form this season. The head coach is doing a nice job with the players and has transformed them into a better club.
I knew Newcastle were a strong team this season but I never expected them to be this strong against Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace are not a weak team to have been humiliated this much by Newcastle. To some extent, this might not sound as a surprise given how Newcastle played and humiliated PSG in the champions league. Crystal Palace needs to wake up and stop conceding plenty goals to teams to make them be at advantage when they’re tied with points with other teams in the Premier League standings.
I think luck is still on Arsenal's side in the 9th week of the EPL. Arsenal were two goals behind after Cole Palmer opened the scoring for Chelsea with a penalty. Chelsea increased their lead to 2-0 at the start of the second half through a goal scored by Mudryk. Arsenal who were the favorites, were able to win because of their good performance since the start of the season, making a slow start at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea immediately took advantage of this situation to put pressure on Arsenal.
The Chelsea players' efforts gave perfect results. However, as a result of their goalkeeper Robert Sanchez mistake when making a pass, Declan Rice didn't waste his time breaking into Chelsea goal and reducing Arsenal deficit. Arsenal, who felt under pressure after Manchester City managed to get three points over Brighton, tried to increase their attack power to maintain their positive trend of being unbeaten in the EPL.
Arsenal efforts bore fruit after Bukayo Saka measured pass was utilized well by Leandro Trossard. Arteta had to be satisfied with this result because they did not play optimally in the first half.
Both teams really impressed me in this match and how the match ended was really okay to me. Arsenal are on form and ought to have won that match without much stress looking from how Chelsea have been playing in the league which is not impressive. Chelsea was also able to take advantage of their home and slow lagging behind from Arsenal in the first half of the game. With the performance of Chelsea in that match, we might be seeing a new Chelsea team that are very active ready for the task ahead of them. If Chelsea can continue this form, they will have a much better opportunity to finish in the first half of the table. If Chelsea are back to their top form, we will be witnessing a more interesting season in the premier league once more where the matches are unpredictable until the final moments of the league.
