GRAEME SOUNESS: I have to credit Arsenal for the manful and organised way they set about the task that was asked of them in the second half at Manchester City last weekend. To a man they defended. Every one of their creative players put in a major shift. It won't surprise you to know that I will always have time for qualities like that. 'Bravery' is a term overused in football, though there was certainly some of it in that defensive display. But while I respected it, I cannot say I liked it. Generally, when a team have a player sent off, like Arsenal did, it becomes a game of retreat. The vast majority of teams operate with two banks of four, leave one player up, and try to get some sort of possession higher up the field.

NEWCASTLE 1-1 MAN CITY - CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Here is a point Manchester City will not celebrate. Newcastle will, and so they should after a performance that recaptured the values so central to their identity. They would have won with a striker on the pitch. But for City, six days on from the relief and exultation of salvaging a 98th-minute draw at home to Arsenal, this will feel like two points dropped. It has to, when Arsenal showed how likely they are to push them all the way this season. Erling Haaland did not score for the first time in the Premier League this term and, for too long, he was left strangely isolated.

There is no VAR in the Championship and that was good news for Norwich City on Saturday. Borja Sainz scored a controversial goal to give the Canaries a 1-0 lead away at Derby County just before half-time in one of the early kick-offs. Sainz found the net with a clever flicked finish following a low cross from Josh Sargent, but the goal should not have stood because the ball had clearly gone out of play before the USA international had kicked it.

Marseille created history when they became the first French club to win the Champions League in 1993.  But just weeks later, a criminal investigation was opened against the club following allegations that they bribed Valenciennes players to underperform against them in a Ligue 1 match so they would remain fresh for their European final against AC Milan six days later. A trial took place in 1995, with Marseille midfielder Jean-Jacques Eydelie handed a one-year prison sentence and general manager Jean-Pierre Bernes a two-year suspended sentence along with a fine, while Valenciennes players Jorge Burruchaga and Christophe Robert were given six-month suspended sentences for their involvement.

However, fortunately, Chong was quickly seen back on his feet and was able to walk back to the visitor's dressing room.

United boss Erik ten Hag reminded Rashford about the importance of a good lifestyle last week and then had to refute claims by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp that he benched the player at Crystal Palace because of an issue behind the scenes. But Hasselbaink, who worked as Gareth Southgate's assistant for 17 months and helped to coach the England forwards, has raised doubts over Rashford's commitment after he was axed from the Euro 24 squad this summer.

KATHRYN BATTE AND SAMI MOKBEL: When Julen Lopetegui arrived at West Ham this summer, he was supposed to rip up the David Moyes playbook and start again.
