The top Premier League moments of the month - March 2023
By 90min Staff
We're heading down the final stretches of what's been an improbable but exciting Premier League season.
March saw plenty of great goals, unlikely comebacks and huge results.
Here are the best ten moments of the month.
10. Chelsea turn on the style at Leicester
Chelsea's three-week stretch where they actually looked functional seems like a lifetime ago.
Kai Havertz scored a delectable dink while Mateo Kovacic found the net with a superb instinctive volley. Halcyon days for Graham Potter's Blues.
9. Leandro Trossard's hat-trick of assists
Considering he was only on Arsenal's list of backup targets to Mykhailo Mudryk, Leandro Trossard's transfer to north London has been close to miraculous and he has proven to be one of the signings of the season.
A moment of crowning glory came when he set up all three of Arsenal's goals in their win at Fulham.
8. Leeds stun Wolves in Molineux goal-fest
Saturday, 3pm. Who's on? Wolves vs Leeds? Pencil that in for 0-0.
Anything but. The Whites' 4-2 win at Wanderers proved to be one of the month's most thrilling matches, ebbing and flowing in a tense second half which saw give goals and two red cards.
7. Alexander Isak's match-winning brace at Nottingham Forest
We haven't seen too much of Alexander Isak since his summer move to Newcastle from Real Sociedad due to injuries, but he really announced himself to the Premier League in March.
Newcastle trailed 1-0 at Nottingham Forest, but then the Swede stepped up, scoring once before the break and then icing the win with a penalty in the dying embers.
6. Solly March seals derby win
Brighton vs Crystal Palace is one of England's strangest rivalries, but it's an enjoyable one nonetheless.
March's edition was settled by a strike from England hopeful Solly March, who is having a superb season under Roberto De Zerbi.
5. Brentford edge thrilling west London derby
Ah, a rivalry that's easier to understand and equally as entertaining.
Brentford and Fulham have emerged as surprise contenders for a European place, placing more importance on their meeting at the Gtech Community Stadium last month.
The Bees ran out 3-2 winners following a back-and-forth contest.
4. Ellis Simms saves Everton at Chelsea
With their form in the ascendancy and leading 2-1 heading into the final minutes against relegation-battling Everton, you'd have been forgiven for thinking Chelsea would cruise to victory just before the international break.
And then Ellis Simms comes off the bench to score the equaliser late on. Oops.
3. Southampton secure late draw with Tottenham
What happened off the pitch after this one distracts from the unlikely events that happened on it.
Tottenham led 3-1 late on at St Mary's, only to be pulled back by a resilient Southampton side who are not giving up in their quest to beat the drop.
2. Arsenal's last-gasp comeback against Bournemouth
The stuff of which champions are made.
Arsenal went behind to the earliest goal of the season and looked destined to be heading to a shock defeat when Bournemouth doubled their lead after the break.
But the Gunners rallied back, scoring three times late on - including the last kick of the game from Reiss Nelson - to pick themselves off the canvas.
1. Liverpool thrash Man Utd 7-0 at Anfield
Fresh from their victory in the Carabao Cup final, Manchester United made the short trip to rivals Liverpool full of confidence and hope that they would actually leave Anfield with something this year.
They lost 7-0. Liverpool were simply unstoppable.
