Erling Haaland’s goal-scoring magic was on full display as Manchester City staged a thrilling comeback against Brentford. Despite falling behind early, Haaland’s clinical finishing and sheer determination turned the tide in City’s favour. His brace showcased his unmatched ability to find the back of the net, solidifying his status as one of the Premier League’s most formidable strikers. With this victory, City further cemented their position at the top of the table, leaving their rivals trailing behind wondering what went wrong.
Fulham v West Ham
1 - 1
In a thrilling London derby, West Ham staged a dramatic comeback to salvage a 1-1 draw against Fulham. Raul Jimenez’s early goal put Fulham in control, but West Ham’s resilience and attacking prowess shone through in the second half. Lucas Paqueta and Crysencio Summerville, introduced at halftime, injected a much-needed spark into the Hammers’ offense. Despite relentless pressure, West Ham couldn’t find the equalizer until the dying moments of the match. Danny Ings, a late substitute, seized the opportunity, controlling a cross from Jarrod Bowen and firing a powerful shot past Bernd Leno to rescue a point for West Ham. The dramatic draw ensures both teams remain in the mix for mid-table positions.
Crystal Palace v Leicester City
2 - 2
Crystal Palace pulled off a stunning comeback against Leicester City, snatching a 2-2 draw with a late penalty from Jean-Philippe Mateta. Leicester had looked on course for their first win of the season after taking a 2-0 lead, but Palace’s fighting spirit and Mateta’s clinical finishing turned the game on its head. Both teams remain winless after four matches, but this draw offers a glimmer of hope for Palace as they look to climb out of the relegation zone.
Brighton v Ipswich Town
0 - 0
Brighton & Hove Albion’s unbeaten run in the Premier League faced its toughest challenge yet against Ipswich Town. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Brighton couldn’t find the breakthrough against Ipswich’s resolute defense and inspired goalkeeper, Arijanet Muric. Muric’s stellar performance kept Ipswich in the game, denying Brighton’s attackers time and again with acrobatic saves and quick reflexes. While Brighton’s dominance was clear, Ipswich’s counter-attacking threat and defensive resilience made for a thrilling contest. The draw leaves Brighton in third place, but it’s a reminder that even the best teams can face challenges against determined opponents.
Aston Villa v Everton
3 - 2
Aston Villa pulled off a sensational comeback against Everton, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 victory. Ollie Watkins’ brace and Jhon Duran’s stunning long-range goal sealed the deal for Villa. Despite Everton’s early dominance, Villa’s resilience and attacking prowess shone through. The win lifts Villa into third place, while Everton remain at the bottom of the table with no points.
Bournemouth v Chelsea
0 - 1
Chelsea edged out AFC Bournemouth with a late 1-0 win, thanks to Christopher Nkunku’s late strike. Robert Sanchez’s penalty save, and Bournemouth’s missed chances, kept the game scoreless until Nkunku’s decisive strike. While Bournemouth showed a strong attacking threat early in the game, but the visitors eventually broke the deadlock five minutes from time. The victory lifts Chelsea up the Premier League table, while Bournemouth remain in mid-table.
Sunday 1st September

Arsenal’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby was a hard-fought battle that showcased the intensity and rivalry between these two historic clubs.

This victory is a significant boost for Arsenal’s title aspirations, as they continue to demonstrate their strength and determination.

Newcastle United’s dramatic comeback against Wolverhampton Wanderers secured a 2-1 victory. Fabian Schar’s deflected strike and Harvey Barnes’ stunning effort turned the game around after Wolves took an early lead through Mario Lemina. Despite Wolves’ promising performance, their lack of clinical finishing cost them the match. Newcastle’s victory lifts them up to third in the Premier League table, while Wolves remain in the bottom three.
