EPL Matchweek 4 threw us straight back into the thick of early season action after the International Break.
Arsenal were looking to get back to winning ways after their 1-0 loss away at Liverpool.
Arsenal Cut Down Forest
The Gunners lit up the Saturday afternoon mood in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest, who just appointed Ange Postecoglou after sacking Nuno Espírito Santo.
Forest were no match for Arsenal from the opening minute as Arteta’s men dominated the game. New signings Martin Zubimendi slammed home the opener from outside the box for The Gunners just two minutes after the half-hour mark.
Immediately after the resumption, Arsenal doubled their lead through Viktor Gyökeres. The Swede tapped home a brilliant cross from the right from Eberechi Eze. The Gunners added their third through a Zubimendi header to seal the result.
Liverpool Leave It Late Again
Liverpool were expected to keep their 100% record going this weekend as they visited Burnley. However, Arne Slot and his players were in for a torrid and frustrating afternoon.
For over 90 minutes, Liverpool toiled to no avail as Burnley showed the reason why they only conceded 16 goals in 43 Championship matches last season.
However, The Champions found a way at the end. Former Man United player Hannibal handled the ball in the 92nd minute inside the box and the referee gave a penalty. Salah converted to keep Liverpool’s 100% record intact.
Haaland and Foden Dominate Manchester United Again.
Rúben Amorim’s Manchester United went into Sunday’s Manchester derby in a better mood than their city rivals after their late win against Burnley before the international break. However, City reminded the world just how much quality they have.
Jérémy Doku created City’s first two goals for Phil Foden and Erling Haaland respectively, before Erling Haaland scored the third through a quick counter to settle the game and hand Manchester City their second win of the campaign.
Chelsea Drop Points Against Brentford
The Blues dropped points away at Brentford with just 2 minutes to go after they took a late lead at the Gtech Stadium.
Chelsea went behind through a counterattack that was converted by Kevin Schade. However, Chelsea struck back through Cole Palmer who netted his first goal of the season.
Moisés Caicedo thought he won the game for Chelsea with a thumping finish from just outside the box, but Chelsea could not hold on as they conceded a late equalizer scored by Fábio Carvalho.
Spurs also got back to winning ways with a thumping 3-0 win away at the London Stadium.
Aston Villa are still looking for their first goal of the season, while Bournemouth claimed another victory at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.
