Bournemouth lead Manchester City

Bournemouth were looking to continue their good form as they host reigning champions Manchester City, and almost took the lead in the first minute as they forced Ederson into an excellent double save from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo.

However, the Cherries’ bright early start was rewarded after 10 minutes when Semenyo provided a clinical finish to put the home side into a shock early lead.

City looked well off the pace and the hosts looked more likely to double their lead than concede as they headed towards the half hour mark.

And Pep Guardiola’s side managed to go through the entire half without even having a shot on target against Iraola’s side, with Bournemouth more than holding their own at the Vitality Stadium.

They almost doubled their advantage a minute into the second half, only for Ederson to once again come to Man City’s rescue, smothering an effort from record-signing Evanilson.

At the other end, Phil Foden dragged a low effort wide.


Leicester City behind at Ipswich

Leicester City faced an Ipswich side still seeking their first Premier League win of the season, and it was an end to end start to proceedings, with both sides spurning chances to take an early lead.

The home side began to assert themselves on the game as the half drew on, but lacked any quality in the final third, heading into the break level.

Ten minutes into the second half, the home side took a precious lead as Leif Davis lashed home on the volley after good work from Sam Morsy, putting Kieran McKenna’s side on course for their first Premier League win in over two decades.


Liverpool losing against Brighton

Scorers: Kadioglu 15’Liverpool play host to Brighton in a repeat of their midweek clash in the EFL Cup, but it was the Seagulls who took an early lead as they capped an impressive start to the game with a deserved goal, with summer addition Ferdi Kadioglu driving a thunderous effort in from the edge of the penalty area.

The Reds grew into the game as it took on an end to end feel, with both Georginio Rutter and Mo Salah having chances kept out by the opposition shot-stopper as they headed into the break separated by just a single goal.


Nottingham Forest ahead against West Ham

Nottingham Forest were looking to continue their good start to the season against West Ham, and began the game strongly despite failing to test Lukasz Fabianski in the West Ham goal.

However, they continued to apply the pressure and were finally rewarded when in-form Chris Wood was left free to nod home a cross from Alex Moreno and put the home side in the lead.

Moments after Lucas Paqueta saw an effort cleared off the line by Wood, West Ham’s first half took another turn for the worst as Edson Alvarez was shown a second yellow card on the stroke of the interval, leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb.

Despite the man disadvantage, West Ham began the second half far better than they had the first, looking to hit Forest on the counter attack as the hosts searched for a second goal.


Southampton vs Everton

Southampton and Everton met in a relegation six pointer, and in typical fashion it was the Saints who dominated the ball without really creating anything as Everton looked to pick them off on the counter attack.

As Sean Dyche’s side pushed for an opener, Southampton looked toothless, with Russell Martin’s side failing to have a shot on target in front of a restless St Mary’s.

The second half continued in a similar vein, with Aaron Ramsdale forced into making a fine save to keep out an effort from Orel Mangala and keep the score level.


Toothless Arsenal beaten by Newcastle United

A toothless Arsenal fell to a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St James’ Park, as an Alexander Isak goal in the opening stages proving the difference.

The Gunners began the game on the front foot, with Leandro Trossard dragging the first effort of the contest wide from the edge of the penalty area.

The home side began to settle though, and took the lead after just 12 minutes with their first effort of the game as Alexander Isak powered home a header from an Anthony Gordon cross to hand his side an early advantage.

Though Arsenal continued to dominate the ball, Newcastle remained a threat on the counter attack as the visitors pushed forward in search of an equaliser.

Chances came at both ends as Bukayo Saka flashed a cross along the six yard box before Mikel Merino’s effort was blocked on the line by Lewis Hall, while at the other end Anthony Gordon provided a teasing cross of his own that Newcastle could not convert.

The game became increasingly broken up as the half went on, with both sides guilty of a series of petty fouls which ensured that no momentum could be built. leaving Newcastle heading into the break narrowly in front.

The hosts emerged stronger after half time too, with Joe Willock seeing his effort saved by David Raya within moments of kick off. Arsenal continued to see more of the ball but could not do anything with it as Isak stung the palms of Raya at the other end.

Mikel Arteta rang the changes, with Ethan Nwaneri, Gabriel Jesus and Ben White all coming on in a bid to rescue at least a point from the game.

But they still couldn’t inject any momentum into the game, with the Gunners stuck firmly in first gear as Newcastle defended stoutly.

Heading into the final ten minutes Arsenal finally managed to create some pressure, but they were still unable to test Nick Pope in between the posts for the Magpies as they closed in on a famous win.

Deep in stoppage time, Declan Rice nodded Arsenal’s best chance wide from six yards out, summing up the poor Arsenal performance and ensuring they left St James’ Park with nothing.


Wolves vs Crystal Palace

Finally, winless Wolves welcome Crystal Palace to Molineux.
