Alexander Isak’s brilliant goal run comes to an end and it comes to an end on the week I captained him on my FPL.
Take a bow, Andoni Iraola.
He is the first ever Bournemouth manager to go 10 Premier League games unbeaten in charge of the club.

And by doing so, he has also ended Newcastle’s nine game winning run across all competitions, with Eddie Howe’s quest to become the first ever Newcastle manager to win 10 consecutive games in the club’s history ending against his former side.
All thanks to a Justin Kluivert hat-trick and a fine finish from Milos Kerkez .
20 - Justin Kluivert’s treble today is the 20th hat-trick scored by Dutch players in the Premier League, while he’s the fourth Dutchman to net multiple hat-tricks in the competition after Ruud van Nistelrooy (5), Robin van Persie (5) and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (4). Flying.
Mohamed Salah had more touches in the opposition box (13) and created more chances (5) than any other player in the first half vs. Brentford.
No goals yet for Arne Slot’s side however.
2 - For the second time this season, West Ham failed to record a shot on target in a Premier League home game (v Liverpool and Crystal Palace). It’s the first time since 2005-06 that the Hammers have failed to do so twice in a top-flight season. Blunt.
37 - Liverpool’s 37 shots against Brentford were their joint-most in a Premier League game on record (since 2003-04). The Reds failed to score with any of their first 35 shots in the match, before netting with their final two through Darwin Núñez. Gasp.
Darwin Núñez’s game by numbers vs. Brentford:
10 touches
5 touches in opp. box
4 shots
2 duels won
2 shots on target
2 goals
The match winner.
11 - Since his first Premier League campaign in 2022-23, Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez has been directly involved in more goals as a substitute than any other player (11 - seven goals, four assists). Super.
Arsenal XI: Raya; Partey, Timber, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Merino, Odegaard; Martinelli, Havertz, Trossard.
Aston Villa XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen; Onana, Kamara, Tielemans; Ramsey, Rogers; Watkins.
