Taking the lead first didn’t stop Nottingham Forest from a home defeat. Fulham got three goals within a span of six minutes to come from a goal down in the 11th minute to a ‘3-1’ lead in the 60th minute. It ended a 3-2 away win for Fulham.
Aston Villa equals Southampton in points after Jacob Ramsey scored the only goal of the 41st minute to get Aston Villa a win against Southampton.
Jack Grealish scored Manchester City’s winning goal in the first minute, and Erling Haaland doubled their lead in the 16th minute.
In the 33rd minute, Natan Collins was sent out of the match after picking up a red card for a reckless tackle on Jack Grealish.
Phil Foden added a third goal in the 69th minute to get Manchester City the three points from three unanswered goals against Wolves at the Molineux Stadium.
Alexander Isak scored the equalizing goal from the penalty spot for Newcastle to share the points with Bournemouth in a 1-1 draw. Both clubs stayed equal on points in the standings.
We are seven rounds into the English Premier League season and Leicester City remains without a win (6 defeats and a draw).
Heung-Min Son entered the game in the 59th minute and scored three goals to stretch Tottenham’s lead to 4 goals and seal three points with a 6-2 win. Heung-Min Son had not scored a goal all season after winning the Golden Boot the previous season.
The first half ended as a ‘2-2’ draw after both Tottenham and Leicester experienced taking a lead and also losing one. The second half was where Tottenham shifted the three points to their side. Tottenham shifted the three points to their side through a goal from Rodrigo Bentancur in the first minute after the restart.
Willian Saliba and Gabriel Jesus sent Arsenal to the break with a 2-0 lead that eventually finished a 3-0 win when Fabio Vieira added his goal in the third minute of the second half. Arsenal’s last league game was a 3-1 defeat at Old Trafford so this win was a statement win if we factor in their loss in this fixture on the opening day of last season.
Arsenal keeps the top spot in the league for another round.
Everton had been unbeaten in their last four league matches but was coming up short in getting a win. Neal Maupay scored the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute for Everton to beat West Ham and win their first league game of the season. West Ham is three league games without a win (2L).
