Gameweek 10 saw a return to form for several top clubs as they reclaimed momentum after recent turbulence. While underdog stories captured attention in previous rounds, this weekend demonstrated that experience and depth still remain decisive in England’s top flight.
Saturday’s standout matches featured strong performances from the league’s elite. At the Amex Stadium, Brighton & Hove Albion delivered a commanding 3–0 win over Leeds United. Danny Welbeck opened the scoring, and a second-half brace from Diego Gómez secured the victory and the club’s first clean sheet of the season.
Arsenal further solidified their title credentials with a 2–0 away win at Burnley. With back-to-back wins and continued defensive solidity, Mikel Arteta’s side remain the benchmark in the league.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace maintained their home consistency with a 2–0 result over Brentford, and Fulham ended a four match winless streak with a convincing 3–0 defeat of Wolves, who sacked coach Vitor Pereira following their eighth defeat in 10 matches.
