Mesut Özil, the Arsenal midfielder transferred from Real Madrid for 50 million euros, found a reason to smile, and it’s not just about Arsenal topping the English championship. In a quirky moment, Özil caught the attention by spitting out gum, skillfully juggling it, and then swallowing it.
Turning to the match, Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory against Swansea City, reclaiming the top spot in the English championship. The Gunners took the lead with goals from S. Gnabry in the 58th minute and A. Ramsey in the 63rd minute. Although they conceded a goal in the 82nd minute from B. Davies, it did not significantly impact the outcome.
Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal manager, has reasons to be pleased as his team hasn’t led the English championship for an extended period. With this win, Arsenal is now the leader, while both Manchester teams faced challenges in their respective matches. Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against West Bromwich Albion, and Manchester City could only manage a 3-2 win against Aston Villa.
Aston Villa’s goals came from K. El Ahmadi (51st minute), L. Bacuna (73rd minute), and A. Weimann (76th minute), while Manchester City scored through Y. Touré (45th minute) and E. Dzeko (57th minute). Manchester City currently sits in fifth place in the standings with 10 points.
As of now, Arsenal leads with 15 points, followed by Tottenham unexpectedly in second place with 13 points, and Chelsea in third with 11 points. The English Premier League is proving to be competitive, and Arsenal’s rise to the top has added excitement to the race for the championship.
