Just ten games into the new Premier League season, and the title race is already heating up. This weekend’s action saw Liverpool emerge as the big winners, benefiting from unexpected losses by Manchester City and Arsenal—results that left Jamie Carragher delighted.
Starting the weekend, City held the top spot, with Liverpool close behind and Arsenal in third. Many expected that order to stay unchanged, but the matchday brought surprises.
With both City and Arsenal dropping points, Liverpool climbed to the top after a hard-fought victory over Brighton, marking a strong start under new manager Arne Slot. Arsenal had an opportunity to close the gap with their early game against Newcastle, but a lackluster performance at St. James’ Park led to a 1-0 defeat, sealed by Alexander Isak’s first-half header.
In the 3 pm fixtures, Manchester City faced Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Guardiola’s side found themselves trailing within the first nine minutes, and Bournemouth doubled their lead after the hour mark. Although Josko Gvardiol scored late, it only served as a consolation in City’s first league loss of the 2024/25 season.
These setbacks for City and Arsenal, coupled with Liverpool’s thrilling comeback, put Carragher in a cheerful mood. He shared a clip on X/Twitter from a previous CBS Champions League show, where he humorously exclaims, “What a matchday this was.” Known for its casual tone, the show has produced many meme-worthy moments from Carragher, and his latest post quickly went viral, drawing over 360,000 views as fans from all three clubs joined the conversation.
While the season is still young, Liverpool now hold a two-point lead at the top, giving them an early edge in the title race.
