Premier League review: 28th August 2021

It was another thrilling day of Premier League action, let's take a look a closer look at the action.

West Ham United finished the day on top of the Premier League. How many people would bet on them staying there?

Manchester City thrash woeful Arsenal

Manchester City outplayed ten-man Arsenal on a sunny afternoon at the Etihad Stadium. Ilkay Gundogan and Ferran Torres scored in the first 12 minutes.

Any hope Arsenal had of a comeback was ended when midfielder Granit Xhaka was sent off for lunging into a challenge on Joao Cancelo

Ten-man Chelsea hold Liverpool

Chelsea frustrated Liverpool in a fast and furious Premier League encounter to earn a hard-fought point. They were reduced to 10 men after Reece James' first-half sending-off. You can see some of the highlights in the tweet below. Give it a watch!

Brentford remain unbeaten

Aston Villa and Brentford played out an entertaining draw at a rowdy Villa Park.

Both sets of fans supporters created a terrific atmosphere in glorious conditions and although there was plenty of energy and endeavour on show, the two sides struggled to create many clear cut opportunities. Former Southampton striker Danny Ings put in another impressive performance for the home side.

West Ham remain top for the day despite being held by Palace

Conor Gallagher scored the first goals of Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace reign as West Ham's winning start to the campaign came to a frustrating end. This was a much improved attacking performance for Palace and they will be looking to build on that.
