Final Analysis: WOW! What a fantastic week of fixtures in the Premier League! League leaders Arsenal nearly dropped points vs AFC Bournemouth who came out flying out the gates putting two past Arsenal in the game's early stages. Reiss Nelson (ARS) was subbed on late and pushed the Gunner past a disaster vs the struggling Cherries. Despite this rollercoaster of a game now 5th place Liverpool vs 3rd place Manchester United. Liverpool looked shaky at the beginning of the season but this win proves that the mighty reds are BACK with a very convincing victory over their red rivals.
