The English Premier League 2023-2024 standings after six weeks have changed following Arsenal's failure to secure a full three points in the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur. Mikel Arteta's team had to settle for a 2-2 draw in the match on Sunday, September 24, 2023.
The Gunners failed to capitalize on the opportunity to win at their home ground, the Emirates Stadium. The match was intense, with four goals scored.
Arsenal's two goals came from a Tottenham own goal by Cristian Romero (26') and a Bukayo Saka penalty (54'). However, a brilliant performance by Son Heung-min, who scored two goals in the 42nd and 55th minutes, saved The Lilywhites from defeat.
This draw knocked the London club out of the top four. Arsenal is now fifth.
This is due to other matches where Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool secured full points. Kaoru Mitoma and his teammates defeated Bournemouth 3-1. Meanwhile, The Reds beat West Ham United 3-1.
This victory propelled Brighton and Hove Albion to third place in the Premier League table. The Reds are now second, overtaking Tottenham, who dropped to fourth.
Meanwhile, Manchester City remains firmly at the top with 18 points after winning six consecutive matches, two points ahead of Liverpool.
Chelsea, meanwhile, suffered another defeat, losing 0-1 to Aston Villa, and are stuck in 14th place. Newcastle United also improved their ranking after thrashing Sheffield United 8-0 at Bramall Lane.
The Magpies enjoyed a goal fest with goals from Sean Longstaff (21'), Dan Burn (31'), Sven Botman (35'), Callum Wilson (56'), Anthony Gordon (61'), Miguel Almiron (68'), Bruno Guimaraes (73'), and Alexander Isak (87').
