London: Arsenal responded to the pressure applied by Manchester City by beating Brighton 2-1 to retake top spot in the Premier League after Rayan Cherki inspired Pep Guardiola’s side to victory at Nottingham Forest.

Florian Wirtz scored his first Liverpool goal as the Reds beat Wolves 2-1 on an emotional occasion at Anfield as Diogo Jota’s former clubs met for the first time since his death.

City’s 2-1 win in the lunchtime kick-off at the City Ground took them top for a couple of hours.

However, Arsenal hit straight back despite making life difficult for themselves against inferior opposition once more.

Flowers, games’ console controllers and photographs can be seen at a memorial set up close to Anfield for Liverpool’s Portuguese forward Diogo Jota ahead of the match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
