Joao Pedro scored just after the restart, in the 46th minute, and again in the 67th. Evanilson pulled one back for Bournemouth in the 51st minute when the ball deflected off him from a Moises Caicedo clearance.

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso said: “Today it was a very complete performance.” Bournemouth manager Marco Rose said: “We were not ready, we were not sharp enough,” according to Sky Sports.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his team “got out of that through pinching our desire to win” after going behind. Leeds manager Daniel Farke said his side “fully deserved to go and lead.”

Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham

Bryan Mbeumo put United ahead in the 73rd minute at Old Trafford. Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off in the 78th minute for a headbutt motion towards Luke Shaw, which led to a brawl between the benches. Dominic Solanke still equalised for the 10 men with a header in the 90+2 minute from Sandro Tonali’s cross, per Sky Sports. Manchester United’s website also described the equaliser as coming in stoppage time.
