Tottenham’s nightmare continues after getting a thrashing at Brighton.

It was a 4th straight league defeat for Everton after a ‘1-0’ defeat at Burnley.

An injury-time penalty gave Liverpool a victory against Leicester City. Liverpool is a win away from equalling the record for the most consecutive wins in the league (18). Their next fixture is against their traditional arch-rival Manchester United.

Norwich was on the wrong end of a 5-1 against Aston Villa when the promoted sides met. Norwich has now lost all matches since their shocking victory against Manchester City, with their first goal coming in a match in which they conceded 5 goals.

Watford remains the only side without a win after 8 matches played. A goalless draw at home against Sheffield United was the best Watford could do.

Jordan Ayew scored an 87th-minute winning goal for Crystal Palace to take the three points at West Ham.

David Luiz’s goal gave Arsenal all three points against Bournemouth.

Manchester City is shocked at home after Adama Traore scored two late goals for Wolves to pick up an unexpected victory at the Etihad Stadium. It was Wolverhampton’s second win of the Premier League season and a second defeat to Manchester City.

Chelsea made light work of Southampton.

Manchester United continue to fall. Matthew Longstaff’s goal in the 72nd-minute allowed Newcastle to pick up a win against Manchester United.
