Brighton 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Two Premier League games went down on Thursday, November 29, 2023, with a torrent of goals being scored in both matches.
Robert De Zerbi's Brighton pummed Spurs 4-2, with goals from Jack Hinshelwood, Pervis Estupinian, and a brace from Joao Pedro.
Tottenham Hotspur halved the deficit in the dying embers of the encounter, with Alejo Veliz and Ben Davies scoring in the 81st and 85th minute respectively.
Ange Postecoglou's side enjoyed a bigger percentage of the ball, but the disparity wasn't much.
Spurs sit 5th on the Premier League table following that defeat, with the Seagulls sitting 8th.
Tottenham Hotspur, who were on a 3-game winning streak were overpowered and brought to earth at the American Express Community Stadium.
Meanwhile, Brighton and Hove Albion, who were on a rocky patch before the encounter, having won 1 game in 4 matches needed that victory to boost the morale of the players.
They were clinical against Spurs and the result definitely paints the perfect picture regarding their potency in front of goal.
Anyway, Brighton and Hove will be delighted that they culminated 2023 with a victory, while Spurs still have a home game on December 31, 2023, against Bournemouth at their 1 billion pound ground.
The Lillywhites have had an impressive start to the campaign, particularly when you weigh in side-by-side with their abysmal outing last term.
Arsenal 0-2 West Ham United
Meanwhile, Arsenal were shushed in their backyard, as goals from Tomas Soucek and Konstantinos Mavropanos handed West Ham United a comfortable victory at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta's side became dazed in the 13th minute, with Jarrod Bowen setting up Soucek, who powered the ball into the back of the net.
David Raya was out of position and Tomas Soucek found it easy to get West Ham United into the lead.
However, in the build-up to the goal, VAR's review concerning whether the ball was kept in play by Bowen has continued to generate controversy.
VAR officials ruled that the goal was legitimate, with the ball still kept in play by Jarrod Bowen.
This goal is similar to Anthony Gordon's goal for Newcastle United against Arsenal, as there was also a lengthy check to ascertain if Joe Willock had kept the ball in play.
Mikel Arteta's side have been on the receiving end of both calls and many are expressing the need for more cameras to be used in covering the Premier League.
It has always been a contentious action, with the ball expected to cross the line before it can be deemed to have gone out of play.
Recall that the Gunners have relinquished their grip on the top spot of the Premier League table a few days from Christmas.
Arsenal sit 2nd on the log with 40 points from 19 matches, winning 12 games, drawing 4, and losing 3.
Their chances of winning the Premier League title still look shaky, given the teams also vying to win the crown.
Meanwhile, Thursday's opposition West Ham United have had a wonderful season by their standards, as they sit 6th on the table with 33 points, winning 11 matches, drawing 3, and losing 6.
