Here’s a recap of the exciting football action from the weekend:
Manchester City Continue to Dominate the Premier League
Manchester City maintained their strong start to the season with a convincing 4-1 victory over newly promoted Ipswich Town. Erling Haaland was the star of the match, scoring the first hat-trick of the 2024/25 season. City’s dominant performance solidifies their position at the top of the Premier League table as they aim for a record-breaking fifth consecutive title.
Manchester United Shocked by Brighton
In a dramatic match at Amex Stadium, Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton. Joao Pedro’s 95th-minute goal secured a stunning win for Brighton, continuing Erik ten Hag’s struggles against them. This defeat marks United’s fourth loss in five Premier League encounters with Brighton, raising concerns among the Red Devils’ faithful. Brighton’s new 31-year-old manager celebrated his second win of the season, signaling a strong start for his tenure.
Tottenham Thrash Everton in a Dominant Display
Tottenham Hotspur delivered a commanding performance, thrashing Everton 4-0. Son Heung-Min scored twice, while Yves Bissouma added another after returning to the lineup. Ange Postecoglou’s side remains unbeaten with this win, bouncing back from a draw against Leicester in their opening match. This result highlights Tottenham’s positive momentum under their new manager.
Crystal Palace Suffer Another Defeat, Losing to West Ham
Crystal Palace’s struggles continued as they fell 2-0 at home to West Ham. Oliver Glasner’s side appears to be far from the form that saw them finish in the top ten last season, leaving fans worried about the current trajectory of the team.
Chelsea Hammer Wolves with a Six-Goal Thrashing
Chelsea stunned Wolves with a 6-2 victory at Molineux. Noni Madueke shone with a hat-trick, while Cole Palmer added a goal and three assists. Nico Jackson also contributed a goal and an assist, and new signing João Félix scored on his debut, assisted by fellow Portuguese Pedro Neto. This emphatic win marked Enzo Maresca’s first Premier League victory as Chelsea’s head coach.
Arsenal Get Revenge on Aston Villa
Arsenal secured a 2-0 win over Aston Villa, marking their second consecutive victory of the season. Leandro Trossard scored just two minutes after being subbed on in the 65th minute, while Thomas Partey sealed the win with a second goal. The Gunners exacted revenge on Villa, who had derailed their title hopes last season by defeating them both home and away.
