Arsenal earn stoppage-time point as City held, while Predictor standings tighten after six-game week
Gabriel Martinelli’s extra-time lob salvages a draw for Arsenal; a predictor error shortened the slate, boosting players who foresaw Haaland’s opener and reshuffling expert standings.
Arsenal and Manchester City played to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates, with Gabriel Martinelli producing a delicate lob in the third minute of stoppage time to salvage a point for the hosts. Erling Haaland had given City the lead in the ninth minute, a detail that factored into the Predictor tie-break question for the week.
The result also shaped the Daily Mail Predictor standings, with PushSummerHosta topping the weekly rankings after correctly predicting Haaland's opener in the tie-break. The week was originally scheduled for seven games but was reduced to six because of an error in the Predictor system. To keep the leaderboard fair, Daily Mail gave every participating user an extra point.
In the Daily Mail Sport expert predictions, Nathan Salt tallied two correct results: Liverpool v Everton as a home win and Brighton v Tottenham as a draw. He also predicted Manchester United v Chelsea as a draw, with the remaining picks yielding zero, leaving him with two points for the week. James Sharpe and Kieran Gill led the expert standings with three accurate predictions each, with Sharpe occupying the top spot in the expert table.
On the field, Liverpool beat Everton in the early kickoff, while Tottenham drew with Brighton and Manchester United defeated Chelsea on Saturday. Sunday produced a goalless 0-0 between Bournemouth and Newcastle, a 1-1 result between Sunderland and Aston Villa, and a 1-1 finish between Manchester City and Arsenal.
