"My job is so hard..." sighed Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim after a dismal 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, where James Maddison’s early strike handed Ange Postecoglou three invaluable points. "Hard" might even be an understatement when it came to the spectacle —fans endured a tedious 90 minutes in what critics are calling one of the dullest Premier League matches in recent memory. Thankfully, the rest of the weekend served up far more excitement. Wolves nearly staged a dramatic second-half comeback against league leaders Liverpool after Luis Díaz and Mo Salah had put the Reds 2-0 ahead. Brighton stunned Chelsea with a commanding 3-0 home victory, delivering the shock of the week. Meanwhile, Manchester City dismantled Newcastle 4-0, powered by an Omar Marmoush hat-trick, and a bold tactical shift from Mikel Arteta paid off as makeshift forward Mikel Merino struck twice to secure Arsenal a 2-0 away win at Leicester. All that and more, broken down on this week’s Just For Kicks.
