Arsenal are Premier League winners again but Potter and Moyes ... (Football365.com)

Arsenal made the midweek talk look silly, with a helping foot from Erling Haaland. Steve Cooper is repaying the sort of faith Potter and Moyes are testing.

That can never be said of Haaland with a straight face but it is true that he has failed to score a single goal against the two sides he has faced since netting hat-tricks against them earlier in the season. [an increasingly stretched squad](https://www.football365.com/news/manchester-unted-tottenham-2000-minute-players-fixture-congestion-premier-league) its Champions League place and the Magpies are yet to win in six Premier League matches without Bruno Guimaraes this season. The way the Cottagers are going, the field of those he might be tempted to jump for is ever diminishing. There may be a sense that this season is being written off as nothing more than a bedding in period for new players, but at some point the situation becomes untenable.’ Southampton made the third-most tackles of any team in the Premier League this season (32), every starting outfielder committed at least one foul and the five substitutes made four interceptions and six clearances between them. The Sean Dyche diet might not be pretty but the results are damn effective and everything is made more palatable when Seamus Coleman produces finishes of that calibre. “He’s really vocal, gives a lot of encouragement and is talking 24/7 – which is what I like.” But the prescience of one quote stands out: “From day one, he had me doing goalline clearances.” [fallen behind in the fewest games (seven, equal with Manchester City) while winning the most matches from losing positions (four, equal with Tottenham and Crystal Palace)](https://www.football365.com/news/premier-league-scrambling-stats-ranking-all-20-clubs-by-points-won-from-losing-positions). Four different managers have taken charge of the two games between Chelsea and Southampton this season, but with one same result. [Reading those words](https://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20160516/mikel-arteta-s-final-programme-notes) almost seven years later, it’s clear that Arteta always quietly dreamed of playing a part in the development of that “new generation” at Arsenal as he embraced retirement and transitioned into coaching. Arsenal came from behind twice, trailed for 41 minutes, led for about five and won when the consequences of not doing so would have been deemed terminal to their title prospects. ‘Our ambition this season was to win the Premier League and we’re so disappointed that we came short with that aim, because it’s not good enough for this club,’ Mikel Arteta wrote in his final programme notes as Arsenal captain.

Born in Luton, he now represents Montserrat at international level and made his debut for the Caribbean island in a World Cup qualifier in 2021. After not making it onto the pitch for Roy Hodgson's England, he changed his international allegiances to his birth country of Burundi and has scored once in 17 senior caps. He has outlasted a number of managers and defensive challengers, though, and has the chance to bring up 250 appearances for the Manchester club this season. The left-back's form under Mauricio Pochettino in the 2013-14 season earned him a World Cup call-up with England, and a big-money move to [Manchester United](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-united-fc) followed. He made his 100th Premier League appearance for the club this season, and has a shot at European football next term. The Tyneside-born frontman became the Magpies' youngest ever player in European competition at the age of 17, but he managed just 23 minutes of Premier League football before leaving in 2015. The forward left for Almeria at the end of that season, and has since racked up more than 200 appearances in Spain's top two tiers. [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) won the race for highly-valued winger Ibe in 2012 after he had attracted attention by making his Wycombe debut aged just 15. [Jose Mourinho](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/jose-mourinho), and the Portuguese manager's record at the time with young talent spoke to how impressive a feat that was. He made just two league appearances in his final season with Bournemouth as they were relegated from the Premier League. That same season, he made the first of his seven senior appearances for Wales. The Berlin-born youngster was eligible for Germany, Ethiopia and the United States, though he had represented the country of his birth at age group level.

He wanted a penalty but referee Darren England wasn't interested ( [watch here](https://youtu.be/px4ILcmJeBI?t=273).)

Referee Graham Scott waved away the claims ( [watch here](https://youtu.be/o3auJDyJk3s?t=59).) Referee David Coote showed Mara a yellow card, with the [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) defender forced off with the injury.
