Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino scored a goal each in the first-half for Liverpool to extend their winning start to 4 games after a ‘2-1’ away victory against Leicester City. Alisson Becker goalkeeping theatrics allowed Leicester City to cut the lead in half, but Liverpool was able to hold on to pick up another 3 points.

After missing a chance to take a lead through a penalty kick in the first-half, Brighton had to come from 2-goals down to avoid a defeat at home to Fulham.

Romelu Lukaku made amends for his performance against Tottenham by scoring all of Manchester United’s goal in a ‘2-0’ away victory against Burnley. Pre-season expectations wouldn’t allow Manchester United to afford to 3 consecutive league matches without winning/or with defeats.

Tottenham Hotspur record of a 100% winning start of the season was ended by a Watford side that was surprisingly protecting their own 100% winning start to the season.
