Arsenal 2-1 Newcastle

Arsenal left it late to claim a vital away win at St. James’ Park. Newcastle struck first through Nick Woltemade in the 34th minute after capitalizing on a defensive lapse.

The Gunners pressed hard in the second half, and their persistence paid off when Mikel Merino headed in the equalizer from a short corner in the 84th minute. Deep into stoppage time, Gabriel Magalhães rose highest to nod home Martin Ødegaard’s delivery, sealing a dramatic comeback. The win keeps Arsenal firmly in the title conversation, showing resilience in a hostile atmosphere.

Chelsea 1-3 Brighton

Chelsea’s early advantage through Enzo Fernández’s header looked promising, but the game turned when Trevoh Chalobah was sent off in the 53rd minute for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. Brighton seized the momentum against 10 men, with Danny Welbeck equalizing in the 77th minute. As stoppage time began, Maxim De Cuyper gave the visitors the lead before Welbeck added his second moments later to complete a stunning 3–1 victory. Brighton’s late surge exposed Chelsea’s fragility and left Stamford Bridge stunned.

Manchester United 1-3 Brentford

Old Trafford witnessed another bruising afternoon for Manchester United as Brentford produced a commanding display. Igor Thiago opened the scoring with a composed finish, later doubling his tally to silence the home crowd. United briefly threatened a comeback when Benjamin Sesko found the net, but Brentford restored control as Mathias Jensen struck from distance to wrap up a deserved win. United’s defensive frailties and lack of sharpness up front left them second best throughout.

Aston Villa 3-1 Fulham

Villa Park finally celebrated three points as Aston Villa overturned an early setback to beat Fulham. The visitors made a dream start when Raúl Jiménez headed home in the third minute. Villa grew into the game, with Ollie Watkins levelling before halftime to end his goal drought. After the break, John McGinn curled in a superb effort to put Villa ahead and substitute Emiliano Buendía added a third late on. The victory lifted the pressure on Unai Emery’s side, marking their first win of the season in spirited fashion.

Liverpool 1-2 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace stunned Liverpool with a dramatic stoppage-time winner. Ismaïla Sarr put Palace ahead early, and though Liverpool responded via Federico Chiesa in the 87th minute, substitute Eddie Nketiah struck in stoppage time to snatch the three points. The win ended Liverpool’s perfect start and showcased Palace’s resilience.

Manchester City 5-1 Burnley

Manchester City made light work of Burnley at the Etihad, turning a tight first half into a dominant second with clinical finishing and a bit of misfortune for the visitors.

Maxime Estève scored two own goals after some early pressure from the hosts. Burnley briefly equalized through Jaidon Anthony, but City hit back strongly. Matheus Nunes restored the lead just after the hour mark, then Estève turned in another cross for his second own goal.

In added time, Erling Haaland bagged a brace (90’, 90+3’) to wrap up the win. The result pushed City to 10 points from six games, narrowing the gap to the leaders, while Burnley remain deep in the relegation zone.

Leeds United 2-2 Bournemouth

Leeds and Bournemouth traded blows in a drama-filled contest at Elland Road. Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring for Bournemouth in the 26th minute with a well-struck free kick. Leeds hit back just before halftime thanks to a header by Joe Rodon from a corner, and Sean Longstaff put them ahead early in the second half with his volley.

But in the third minute of stoppage time, substitute Eli Kroupi volleyed in from a tight angle to rescue a point for Bournemouth. The draw kept Leeds unbeaten at home but frustrated by letting victory slip, while Bournemouth continued their strong start to the season.

Tottenham Hotspur 1–1 Wolves

Spurs were left disappointed after Wolves held on for a point at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Santiago Bueno gave Wolves the lead just after the hour from a set-piece scramble following a corner.

Tottenham dominated both possession and chances but lacked cutting edge. Deep into added time, João Palhinha struck a beautiful half-volley from outside the box (in the 90+97’ range, stoppage time) to snatch a draw. Wolves finally got off the mark this season with their first point, while Spurs breathed a sigh of relief.
