Liverpool secures victory over Arsenal with Szoboszlai's decisive goal, while Manchester City suffers a setback against Brighton
In the latest round of Premier League action, several teams showcased their resilience and skill while others struggled to find their footing. Here's a roundup of some of the most noteworthy events.
Brighton secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Manchester City, thanks to a late goal by Brajan Gruda in the 89th minute. The equaliser came after Matheus Nunes' handball led to a penalty, which was expertly converted by James Milner.
Meanwhile, West Ham United turned the tide in their favour against Nottingham Forest, with Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, and Callum Wilson scoring in the last six minutes to secure a 3-0 victory, easing the pressure on manager Graham Potter.
Liverpool continued their impressive form with a 1-0 win against Arsenal. Szoboszlai, deployed out of position at right-back, delivered the defining moment with a masterful finish from a free-kick, seven minutes before the end. This win marks Liverpool's third consecutive league victory and they remain the only team with a 100% record in the top tier.
Arsenal, who finished as runners-up behind Liverpool last season, suffered their first loss of the season, following consecutive wins. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed disappointment with the result, saying they need to find a way to win big matches.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are still searching for their first win of the season. Their struggles continued as they lost 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace, with goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Marc Guehi, and Ismaila Sarr sealing the victory for the visitors. Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, will be hoping for a turnaround in fortunes.
Manchester City's search for their first win also continues, following a 2-1 loss to Tottenham. Erling Haaland scored his 88th goal in the Premier League for Manchester City, but it was not enough to help them bounce back from a 2-0 home loss.
Newcomers to the league, Liverpool's Champions League winners Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, and Arsenal's Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres, made their debuts in the match, adding fresh talent to the already exciting Premier League.
As the season progresses, it's clear that the Premier League is shaping up to be a thrilling and unpredictable competition.
