For its part, Tottenham was deprived of a deserved victory against Newcastle (1-1) on a penalty awarded for a hand, after consultation with the VAR, which will cause much ink to flow.
Catastrophic for 94 minutes (5 shots, 0 on target), Newcastle equalized by Callum Wilson, after the referee considered that the ball having touched the arm of Eric Dier, after a deflection of the head of an opponent, was worth penalty (90 + 4).
Provisionally third in the standings, Arsenal faces Liverpool on Monday evening.
Three Premier League games.
Three Ws.

Ligue 1: the PSG continues
PSG has chained a third success in a row at the poorly classified Reims (2-0), where the capital club had not won for seven years in the Championship.

Earlier, uninspired Lyonnais still gave up points in L1, where they have not won since their opening match on August 28 against Dijon.
Rudi Garcia's men came close to defeat for the promoted Lorient (1-1).
