The Premier League may still be young, but the 2023/24 season has already delivered a handful of memorable moments, the kind that get replayed in pubs, group chats, and highlight reels for weeks. Here are five of the biggest and best moments so far.

Martinelli’s Late Winner Against Manchester City

Arsenal’s 1–0 win over Manchester City on 8 October was one of the headline events of the season so far. Gabriel Martinelli, returning from injury, came off the bench to fire in a late, deflected winner in the 87th minute.

It was Arsenal’s first Premier League victory over City since 2015, ending an eight-year drought and injecting real belief into their title hopes. A seismic moment, not just for the score line, but for the psychology of the title race.

McTominay’s Last-Gasp Double for Manchester United

On 7 October, Manchester United trailed Brentford 1–0 at home heading into stoppage time. Enter Scott McTominay.
First, he smashed in the equaliser in the 93rd minute. Then, incredibly, he stabbed home the winner in the 97th. Two goals in under five minutes, pulled from nowhere, transforming the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

For United, it felt like a lifeline. For neutral fans, it was pure Premier League chaos, and we love it.

A Goal-Heavy, Fast-paced Start to the Campaign

From the opening weekend, the league has been drenched in goals. Big score lines, wild momentum swings, and tactical experimentation have been everywhere.

Whether it was new signings bedding in, managers pushing more aggressive systems, or simply early-season unpredictability, the first two months have been packed with quickfire goals and dramatic turnarounds.

A Genuine Title Race Taking Shape Early

We don’t always get a title race in October, but this season has already given us one. Arsenal’s early resilience, City’s slight wobble, and strong flashes from the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool have created an intriguing dynamic.

It feels like the kind of campaign where dropped points will matter from day one, and that makes every weekend feel big.

New Faces and Unsung Heroes Making an Impact

One of the joys of a new season is seeing who steps up, and this year hasn’t disappointed. From super-subs like McTominay, to returning players like Martinelli, to young talents across the league grabbing their chance, the season’s storylines have been driven by a wide cast.

It’s a reminder of the Premier League’s depth: big clubs need big squads, and anyone can be a match-winner.

Final Whistle

If the opening stretch of the 2023/24 season is any indication, we’re in for a classic Premier League ride: unpredictable, emotional, and packed with drama.

And it’s only mid-October.
