Weekly Football: Arsenal's nine in a row sit atop the Premier League, Man City hold the derby, Spurs stay goalless
Three Premier League rounds are in and the early title shape is becoming legible: defending champions Arsenal beat Sunderland 2-0 on Saturday for a ninth straight league win — a streak last matched by the club in March 2004 — and Guimaraes and Saka's stoppage-time penalty put Mikel Arteta's side three points clear. Manchester City kept the chase alive by winning the Manchester derby 1-0 at Old Trafford through Erling Haaland after Phil Foden's red card. Tottenham drew 0-0 at home to Everton to extend a run of more than six hours without a Premier League goal despite a summer rebuild.
