MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Leaders Arsenal dropped more points in their pursuit of a first Premier League title since 2004 after being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Brentford on Saturday, while Tottenham Hotspur's winning run was ended abruptly at Leicester City.
Ten-man Wolverhampton Wanderers came from behind to beat bottom club Southampton, big-spending Chelsea's disappointing season continued after they drew 1-1 at West Ham United and Fulham climbed to seventh with victory over Nottingham Forest.Arsenal's new signing Leandro Trossard replaced Gabriel Martinelli just past the hour mark with his side struggling and made an almost instant impact to convert a low cross by Bukayo Saka and give the Gunners the lead at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite dropping points for the second week in a row, after losing to Everton last Saturday, Arsenal lead the table by six points from Manchester City with both clubs having 21 played games. "There is another big game to come . We will get ready for that. It will be another big one and another beautiful one."With manager Antonio Conte back in the dugout after missing their win against Manchester City last Sunday following gallbladder surgery, Spurs made a good start at Leicester.
Kelechi Iheanacho added a third in first-half stoppage time to extend Leicester's lead, with Tottenham's defending making the Nigerian striker's task much simpler. "It's good for everyone to have Antonio back," Spurs assistant Cristian Stellini said."It's good for him but he needs to be careful and he can't use all his energy.
Joao Felix, returning to the team after the on-loan Portuguese forward was sent off in his Chelsea debut last month, side-footed home in the 16th minute to break the deadlock after a pinpoint pass by British record signing Enzo Fernandez.
