Wow, what a day for the title race.

Man City's unbeaten run this season ends, and Liverpool come from behind to reclaim their place at the top.

And what a day for Nottingham Forest who are currently THIRD in the table.

The Premier League, man.

Ayew collects the ball, plays a neat one-two with Jamie Vardy in the box, and puts away the finish in the fourth minute of time added on.

Drama!

Everton have the ball in the back of the net through Beto.

But after a long, and I mean LONG, VAR check, it's ruled out by the narrowest of offside calls.

It's a cruel blow for the Toffees who thought they had equalised immediately with just a few minutes left to play.

But it's not to be.

Just moments after Everton went close with a header off the bar, Southampton take the lead.

And it's a great move from the hosts who used the whole of the pitch.

And attack goes down the right flank and a cross is whipped in, and nobody goes with Armstrong who darts in from the left wing to get on the end of it, beating Jordan Pickford with a firm first-time shot.

The November goal of the month contest has loads of contenders already - and this is another.

West Ham are their own worst enemy - sloppy play on the edge of the box gifts the ball to Aina and there's absolutely no pressure on him as he lines up a shot from outside the box.

And he makes absolutely no mistake, firing it into the top left corner with a sweet strike.

Forest are running riot.

A towering header from the centre-back gives the champions a lifeline against Bournemouth.

Which is not something I thought I'd be writing when this game started, but that's why the Premier League is the best league in the world.

Game on.

And just like that, they're in the lead - and what a goal it is, too.

It's a trademark Mo Salah strike.

Liverpool will not care, as they're finally level.

Gakpo sends a searching cross into the box from the left wing, it's gone all the way through to Nunez, who looks to flick a header into the net.

But it might have gone all the way in without touching the striker.

Either way, it's all square at Anfield.

West Ham will be disappointed with this one.

Hudson-Odoi is lurking on the edge of the box all by himself as Forest have a free-kick almost by the corner flag.

The set piece goes straight to him, he controls the ball, takes a step and loops a cross-cum-shot towards goal.

And it's snuck through a crowded box and sailed into the right side of the net.

It took a deflection off the top of a defender's head on it's way in, which put off the goalkeeper, and it's a goal.

Forest are up to THIRD PLACE as it stands in the Premier League table.

What is happening at the top of the table?!

Evanilson leaps to get his boot on the end of a cross, and it's a fabulous finish past Ederson.

Arsenal lost, Man City down 2-0, Liverpool losing 1-0.

As it stands, Brighton are in third, Nottingham Forest are in fourth, and Arsenal are down to fifth.

What a day!

WOW!

Leif Davis take a flipping bow!

The left-back is completely open on the left side of the pitch when a searching ball forward comes his way, and he has no hesitation.

BANG - first-time volley into the top right corner of the net.

Stunning.

Worth staying up to watch Match of the Day for on it's own.

The Newcastle boss chatted to Sam Matterface after his side's 1-0 victory over Arsenal.

"Arsenal are a top team, and I think you could see that today.

I thought we did what we needed to win the game - a really good defensive performance.

"I am delighted with how we defended."

On importance of win:

"You can't go too long without a win in the Premier League because the league is so tight this year.

"The fine margins have gone against us in recent weeks, but the performances have been much better.

"I still feel there are more gears to go, but that was our fourth good performance in a row.

"I am pleased with how the team is performing, but we can do better."

On Isak:

"He picked up a toe injury and played against Fulham when he possibly wasn't match-fit.

"He also misses Callum [Wilson] because we haven't been able to rotate our senior strikers.

"Since he's come back, he's done a lot of physical work, and he's placing himself in the middle of the goal, and he got rewarded for his pressing work."

On injuries:

"For the majority of the players, we are looking at after the international break.

"Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, who is now getting closer, although he's coming back from a long-term injury, Matt Targett, Jamaal Lascelles is a bit further back, Jacob Murphy, we are hoping next week, and Callum will be after the international break."

Ibrahima Konate has just left the pitch at Anfield in agony.

The Liverpool defender landed awkwardly on his shoulder before half time against Brighton,

Konate could be seen using his shirt as a makeshift sling in what could be a huge blow to the Reds' defence.

West Ham's day has gone from bad to worse just before half-time.

Edson Alvarez has been dismissed for a second yellow card following his foul on Anthony Elanga.

He leaves the now ten-man West Ham with a huge mountain to climb if they are to salvage a result from this match.

Mikel Arteta believes Newcastle didn't create any chances despite them beating his Arsenal side 1-0.

Alexander Isak's goal was enough to deal the Gunners their second league defeat of the season.

"The damage is that we feel disappointed because we didn't get the result and the performance that we needed to win here," he told talkSPORT.

"I thought we started really well and were very dominant.

"We were on top of the match, and in one action, they put the ball in and scored a goal.

"After that, the game changes, the energy changes, and you get dragged into a game they want to play.

"Chances-wise, I thought they created nothing and the big chances we created, we didn't take.

"We have to be more clinical and more ruthless and purpose to damage the opposition."

Speaking on injured captain Martin Odegaard, Arteta added: "Martin is not with us.

At the moment, he cannot help, so we need to find other answers."

Danny Welbeck comes agonisingly close to scoring Brighton's second.

The former Manchester United an eyes up the goal from a free kick and curls it over the Liverpool wall.

It looked as though it was set to sneak into the bottom corner but the hosts are relieved to see it go just wide.

City have come so close to an equaliser.

Erling Haaland does really well to bring down a cross with his chest and steady himself for the shot.

But the striker is unable to fire on target and instead brushes the side netting.

Ipswich have come close to opening the scoring at Portman Road.

A corner from the hosts is met by defender Dara O'Shea who heads the ball into the ground but it goes over.

O'Shea holds his head in his hands after such a great opportunity to make it 1-0.

It's that man again, Chris Wood opens the scoring for Nottingham Forest!

Now it's Liverpool's turn to slip in the title race!

Ferdi Kadioglu has just rifled in the opener at Anfield from the edge of the area.

Caoimhin Kelleher gets a hand to it but it's not enough to prevent his side from falling one goal down at Anfield.

Bournemouth lead against the Premier League table-toppers!

Antoine Semenyo is fed the ball to feet inside the area, turns his man and fires past Ederson to make it 1-0.

Bournemouth have started the brighter side against the reigning champions and could have scored already.

Ederson pulled off two excellent saves to deny Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert following a corner.

The win sees Newcastle rise from 12th to 8th in the Premier League.

After a poor start to the new campaign, Howe's men are now just three points adrift of the top-four.

Amazingly, Arsenal could drop to SEVENTH in the table by the end of the weekend, if the four teams below them all win.

Nottingham Forest host West Ham and Brighton travel to Liverpool today at 3pm.
