Good morning football fans,
In a weekend full of VAR controversy Arsenal emerge on top of the table but a defeat at Old Trafford left them experiencing the feeling of dropped points for the first time thus far. Liverpool and Manchester City also drop points while Chelsea can count themselves fortunate that they took all three against London rivals, West Ham. We'll bring you the latest reaction from all of that plus whatever else breaks throughout the day. Happy Monday folks!
Republic of Ireland striker Leanne Kiernan has signed a new contract with Liverpool ahead of the club’s return to the Women’s Super League.
Mason Mount is Chelsea's next priority as they look to tie the midfielder down to a new contract, following Reece James.
Negotiations will continue soon. ⤵️
A huge boost for the Blues. James reportedly becomes the club's highest-paid defender in history with £250,000. a week.

The officials got it right in the first place. The video busy-bodies putting doubts in their heads got it badly wrong.
We look at why Diego Costa could work perfectly as a short-term solution for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The European Super League remains a sore subject and Toni Kroos has spoken on it very candidly, saying he believes that it will return at some point, but also believes he will be retired by the time it does come back.
Brentford are the lowest weekly wage spender in the Premier League, and it's estimated that eleven Premier League stars earn more money per week than the entire Brentford squad. The Bees spend approximately £293,077 per week on wages.
The eleven players who reportedly earn more are Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin de Bruyne, Erling Haaland, David de Gea, Jadon Sancho, Mohamed Salah, Raphael Varane, Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish, Casemiro (tbc) and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has resigned as Burton Albion boss, after losing all but one of their games so far this season.
Real Madrid have a fearsome trip to Celtic Park tomorrow night in their first game of the Champions League and former Rangers striker Kenny Miller is backing Celtic to hurt the Spanish side, fresh off the back of a 4-0 victory against Rangers on Saturday.
