Sunday's Premier League action had a bit of everything, with a rout at Old Trafford, a much-needed win for Newcastle in south London, and Liverpool ending Brighton's unbeaten run at Anfield. Here, we'll run you through the key fixtures from Sunday.
Liverpool end Brighton's unbeaten run as Isak strikes again
Liverpool climbed to fourth in the table on Sunday with a hard-fought win over Brighton. The game finished 2-0 in a contest that turned out to be a fairly comfortable afternoon for the Reds after their fast start. With Liverpool on top early at Anfield, Pascal Gross turned Florian Wirtz's effort into his own net on 17 minutes, before Alexander Isak met Bradley Barcola's cross to score in a third straight league game. Despite Brighton hitting the post before the break, the Reds held firm to give Andoni Iraola his first Premier League win at Anfield, ending the Seagulls' eight-game unbeaten run and moving to within a point of them.
Manchester United woes continue
Manchester United's poor start to the season continued on Sunday after a 3-0 defeat against Bournemouth. Rayan gave the Cherries the lead seven minutes before half-time, and United couldn't respond, with Marcus Tavernier doubling the advantage five minutes later after a slip from Leny Yoro. Evanilson added a third on 71 minutes after Senne Lammens came off his line, extending United's winless run to eight games and leaving Michael Carrick's side 16th in the table, just a point above the relegation zone.The loss has heaped pressure on United boss Michael Carrick, who looks almost certain to lose his job in the coming days.
Brentford come from behind at Hull
Brentford fought back to earn a 1-1 draw against newly promoted Hull City. Oli McBurnie put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot on 24 minutes after a loose pass from Caoimhín Kelleher led to Tim Iroegbunam being brought down, before Dango Ouattara levelled from close range on 63 minutes to rescue a point for the Bees, who had struggled through a poor first half. Hull remain unbeaten at home but have now gone six league games without a win, while Brentford make it four draws from four on the road this season.
