The Premier League's latest game week produced some weird results and reactions; from Michael Oliver's moment at the Molineux, to United's late show at Fulham and Bournemouth's rout of high-flying Nottingham Forest, here are the top three moments from the weekend. 

Manchester United's Narrow Victory

Manchester United secured a much-needed 1-0 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage. The decisive moment came in the 78th minute when Lisandro Martinez's long-range effort deflected into the net. This victory marked only the fourth league win under coach Ruben Amorim since his appointment in November. The team displayed defensive resilience, highlighted by a crucial goal-line clearance from substitute Toby Collyer. Despite Fulham's dominance in possession, they couldn't capitalize on their opportunities.

Tottenham's Troubles Continue

Tottenham Hotspur's struggles persisted with a 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City. Richarlison gave Spurs an early lead, but goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannous turned the game in Leicester's favor.  This loss places Tottenham 15th in the league, having secured only five points since December. Injuries to key players like Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and James Maddison have compounded their challenges. The home crowd expressed their frustration with boos and chants, increasing pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou.

Arsenal's referee conundrum

Michael Oliver sent off Arsenal's Myles Lewis Skelly on Saturday for what looked like a simple tactical foul to stop Wolves defender Matt Doherty from breaking away but, the incident happened at the edge of the Wolves box and nothing about the tackle suggested malice or dangerous play. The PGMOL has come out to defend their man on the decision and they have condemned the public outcry on the decision, is it safe to wonder if the referee's board has something against the Gunners?
