Arsenal’s players were left dejected by conceding a stoppage-time equalizer at City last weekend.

Six days later, they were celebrating late goals after Leicester, a promoted team without a win so far, threatened to pull off an unlikely draw at Emirates Stadium from two goals down.

Gabriel Martinelli and Trossard scored for Arsenal in the first half, only for the Gunners’ usually obdurate defense to surprisingly let in two goals by Leicester right back James Justin. Justin’s second was a stunning volley with the outside of his right foot that went in off the far post.

Arsenal went back in front in the fourth minute of stoppage time when Leandro Trossard volleyed a deep corner by Bukayo Saka toward goal, though it needed a deflection off Wilfred Ndidi to find a way into the net. Havertz bundled in the fourth in the ninth minute of added-on time.

Palmer nets four goals >> Chelsea knew it was getting a talented player by signing Cole Palmer from Manchester City last year.

But maybe not this good.

Palmer created some history on Saturday when he became the first player to score four goals in the first half of an English Premier League match. His flurry of strikes came in Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Brighton that further strengthened the belief that the London team will be a force this season after spending more than $1 billion on players over the past two years.

Haaland goes scoreless in draw >> It was City’s first league match since influential midfielder Rodri was ruled out for the season with an ACL injury sustained in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal last weekend and the champions were far from their fluid best without the Ballon d’Or contender.

Haaland barely got a chance at St. James’ Park, so couldn’t tie the record of City great Sergio Aguero in scoring in each of his first six games of a Premier League season.

Liverpool stay on top >> A league-high fifth win for Liverpool didn’t come easy, even though Arne Slot’s team was playing against the last-placed Wolves at Molineux.

It needed Salah to convert a penalty after a foul by Nelson Semedo on former Wolves player Diogo Jota, who was jeered throughout by the home fans. The win keeps Liverpool one point ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City.

Football

Panthers owner’s large donation to Hurricane relief >> Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper and his wife Nicole have made an initial $3 million commitment to Hurricane Helene relief efforts through their foundation.

It’s to support immediate and long-term humanitarian aid and recovery efforts in North and South Carolina in the wake of devastation from the Category 4 storm.

The region remains in a state of emergency, and more than 50 people have died.

Basketball

Towns traded to Knicks >> The Minnesota Timberwolves are sending Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round draft pick in a franchise-altering deal for both sides.

Towns, a four-time All-Star entering his 10th season who’s one of the best outside shooting big men in the NBA, never hinted at any discontent with the team that drafted him first overall in 2015 despite several lean years preceding the run to the Western Conference finals last spring.

Golf

Americans take lead >> Scottie Scheffler finished with two birdie putts for an American win, and Patrick Cantlay made two big birdies to assure another one in the Presidents Cup as the United States, fresh off being shut out, bounced back for an 8-6 lead.

Still to come on a day when play was delayed by thick fog at Royal Montreal were four matches of foursomes, with the International team desperate to not lose any more ground.

International captain Mike Weir sent out his same teams he used in fourballs, meaning four players — Jason Day, Min Woo Lee, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Byeong Hun An — sat out all of Saturday.

Tennis

Sinner rallies >> Top-ranked Jannik Sinner rallied to beat Roman Safiullin 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the second round of the China Open and learned afterward that his steroid case is far from over.

While Sinner was on court in Beijing, the World Anti-Doping Agency announced it was seeking a ban of one to two years for the U.S. Open champion who tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid in March but was not suspended in a decision by an independent tribunal announced by the International Tennis Integrity Agency on Aug. 20 because the ITIA determined he was not to blame.
