Brighton astonish again but sound the alarm bell at Newcastle. Who won the Premier League weekend?

Brighton delivered another emphatic weekend performance and Newcastle’s challenge stood out as the season narrative shifted in “The Athletic’s” Premier League performance table for gameweek seven. The article explains that the ranking is not official standings: each gameweek starts fresh, and teams are ranked 1–20 based on how they played in their previous match, meaning a side can lose yet still rank higher. It cites Brighton’s 5-0 win over Crystal Palace, highlighting a relentless press and a goal-of-the-season described in the match coverage. The piece frames the weekend as offering a clear winner and loser within that performance lens.
