The 2026/27 Premier League is now on its second international break, but England‘s top-flight went out with a bang.
Manchester City lost again, this time falling to Nottingham Forest, which has seen them drop to third in the table. Brighton and Hove Albion leapfrogged the Citizens thanks to their win over Brentford. But Arsenal were the biggest winners of the weekend, with a 1-0 victory over Hull City seeing them go into the international break five points clear at the top of the table.
At the other end, Sunderland remain in the bottom three despite their 1-0 win over Chelsea. But the Black Cats did move up to 19th, with Crystal Palace dropping to the bottom after their defeat to Liverpool. Manchester United‘s dramatic 4-4 draw with Aston Villa couldn’t prevent them from dropping into the relegation zone.
Here are the best Premier League Gameweek 10 records and stats.
Premier League stats you might have missed from Gameweek 10
Everton 3-1 Coventry
- Thierno Barry is the first Everton player since 2020/21 to score more than five goals in the first 10 games of a Premier League season.
David Moyes marked his 592nd game as Everton manager on Friday night with a 3-1 win over Coventry City. The Scotsman holds the record for most games in the Toffees dugout, alongside Harry Catterick. But it wasn’t smooth sailing. Everton had to come from a goal down after Yann Gboho put Coventry ahead.
Thierno Barry scored the equaliser just four minutes after Everton went behind and doubled the advantage shortly after. In doing so, Barry took his league tally for the season to six goals, becoming just the sixth Everton player to hit that mark in the first 10 matches of a Premier League campaign. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was the last player to do so, in 2020/21. Barry wasn’t done there, setting up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for Everton’s third goal.
Leeds 1-0 Tottenham
- Noah Okafor scored the fastest goal by a substitute in the Premier League this season, netting just 97 seconds after coming on.
Talk about making an impact. Leeds United didn’t have a good recent record against Tottenham Hotspur. They went into the game having won just one of their last 13 Premier League meetings against Spurs, losing 10. And another victory looked unlikely with the game entering its final 15 minutes. Enter Noah Okafor.
The Swiss forward came off the bench to replace Lukas Nmecha in the 77th minute and had Leeds ahead by the 79th. It was a good finish too, from a player who had been a big doubt going into the match. The win was also the first time Leeds had kept a clean sheet against Tottenham since February 2000, 17 games ago.
Arsenal 1-0 Hull
- Only three teams have kept more Premier League clean sheets after 10 games than Arsenal’s seven this season.
Arsenal have widened their lead at the top of the table and hold 27 points from 10 games, their joint-best start to a Premier League season. Once again Arsenal’s defence has been crucial to their success. The Gunners have kept four clean sheets in a row, shutting out Nottingham Forest, Everton, Liverpool and now Hull. They haven’t kept five clean sheets in a row since 2005/06.
Crucially, this was also their seventh league clean sheet of the season. Although that’s not the best record in Premier League history, it’s close. Only Birmingham City in 2003/04, Chelsea in 2004/05 and Man Utd in 2017/18 have had more Premier League clean sheets after 10 games than Arsenal, all level on eight.
Fulham 1-1 Newcastle
- Josh King became the first teenager to play 50 Premier League games for Fulham.
Josh King is not Fulham’s youngest-ever Premier League player. That honour falls to Harvey Elliott, who made his debut aged 16 years and 30 days. King was less than a month away from his 18th birthday when he first stepped foot on a Premier League pitch. But that wasn’t a token appearance. It was the start of King’s road to becoming one of the first names in Fulham’s lineups.
Still only 19, King made his 50th Premier League appearance for Fulham at the weekend with his 26th start. He’s the first teenager to reach that milestone for Fulham and it capped off a good few days for King, having also been included in the England squad for the first time.
Nottingham Forest 3-1 Man City
- Liam Delap is only the second player to score twice in a Premier League game against Man City having previously played for them in the competition.
Liam Delap looks to be up and running at Nottingham Forest, after a slow start. The Englishman has scored three goals in the Premier League this season, already tripling his tally for Chelsea in 2025/26. In fact, he bettered that tally in the win over Man City alone. Both goals were well-taken too, and Delap looked to be playing with a confidence he hasn’t had since leaving Ipswich Town.
In scoring his brace, not only did Delap help lift Forest out of the relegation zone, but he also joined an exclusive club. The Englishman is just the second player to score a Premier League brace against Man City having previously played for them in the competition, joining Nicolas Anelka. Man City have now lost their past three games and are only the second English top-flight side to do so after winning their first seven since Sheffield Wednesday in 1904/05. Not an exclusive club you want to be in.
Brighton 2-0 Brentford
- Brentford have now gone 10 Premier League away games without a win, a club record.
Brentford had a tough afternoon against Brighton, in more ways than one. They trailed to another Diego Gomez wondergoal and were reduced to 10 men after Igor Thiago‘s red card for violent conduct. The Bees then conceded what they felt was a soft penalty, converted by Pascal Gross. While the Bees have been flying high this season, they have been reliant on home form.
The 2-0 defeat to Brighton means Brentford are now winless in their last 10 Premier League away games, an unwanted club record. Brighton, meanwhile, sit second in the league at the end of a Premier League matchweek outside of August for the first time. Gross’ penalty also saw him tie Mesut Ozil for the most Premier League goal involvements by a German player, with 87 in total (35 goals, 52 assists).
Crystal Palace 1-3 Liverpool
- Crystal Palace’s 24 goals conceded is their most after 10 league games in a season since 1980/81.
Pierre Sage‘s time appears to be running out. While this result alone won’t be the final nail in the coffin, it only continued a poor start to life at Selhurst Park. And it’s damning. The Eagles have the worst defence in the Premier League this season, conceding 24 goals in 10 games. It’s also their most conceded after 10 games in a single season since 1980/81. That’s not good reading for Palace fans, with the Eagles relegated from the top-flight at the end of that campaign.
Crystal Palace now sit bottom of the table with just seven points, having lost their past four league games. But it was always going to be tough this weekend against Liverpool, the only team still unbeaten away from home in the Premier League this season.
Ipswich 1-2 Bournemouth
- Evanilson is the first Bournemouth player to score in five consecutive Premier League games.
What a run Bournemouth are having. The Cherries have now won their past eight games across all competitions, their best run since 2013. But that came when they were in League One, en route to promotion to the Championship. Evanilson has been key to the current run, particularly in the Premier League. The Brazilian has now scored in his past five Premier League games, the first Bournemouth player to achieve that feat.
Evanilson’s run started with a consolation goal against Chelsea, but has continued with strikes in wins over Sunderland, Man Utd, Leeds and now Ipswich. It was bad news for Ipswich who have now conceded in 29 consecutive Premier League games, the longest such run in the competition since Watford between March 2020 and January 2022 (30).
Sunderland 1-0 Chelsea
- Sunderland have won three consecutive Premier League games against Chelsea for the first time since 2001.
No one really gave Sunderland a chance going into this game. The Black Cats sat bottom of the table with just one win to their name and five points from nine matches. Pressure was piling on Regis Le Bris and, to make matters worse, they lost captain Granit Xhaka to injury very early on. But Sunderland were excellent and well worth their victory, even if it came via a controversial penalty.
Sunderland have had Chelsea’s number of late too. This is now Sunderland’s third consecutive Premier League win over the Blues, having won both matches 2-1 last season. It’s only the second time Sunderland have beaten Chelsea in three consecutive Premier League games, last doing so between 1999 and 2001. Chelsea have now lost four league games under Xabi Alonso.
Man Utd 4-4 Aston Villa
- Man Utd are the first team in Premier League history to come from two goals down twice in the same game and draw.
Twice in Man Utd’s game against Aston Villa on Sunday fans and pundits were planning for Michael Carrick‘s depature. The Red Devils fell apart early in each half against Aston Villa, with all the usual troubles showing. Alysson and Nicolas Jackson gave Aston Villa a 2-0 lead after just three minutes and 40 seconds, capitalising on defensive errors. It was the earliest Man Utd had been 2-0 down in a Premier League game.
Man Utd were level by half-time, though, thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes and former Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans. It didn’t last long after the break, with John McGinn scoring from the penalty spot and Leon Goretzka restoring Villa’s two-goal lead. They looked to be on their way for the win, but Patrick Dorgu came off the bench to set up Joshua Zirkzee and score the equaliser himself, sealing a point. History made for Man Utd, being the first team to trail by two goals twice and come back to draw a Premier League game. But they remain 18th and are now 10 league games without a clean sheet.
