Manchester City 3-1 Brighton:

 

At the Etihad Stadium, City defeated a spirited Brighton team 3-1, surpassing 600 goals under Pep Guardiola. Erling Haaland's 16th and 17th Premier League goals of the season, together with a blistering Kevin De Bruyne strike, secured City a much-needed three points after their setback at Liverpool.

 

Chelsea 1-1 Manchester United:

 

At Stamford Bridge, a Jorginho penalty appeared to have clinched the big match for Chelsea, only for Man United to steal an equalizer right at the death with Casemiro heading home his first goal for Man Utd.

 

Aston Villa 4-0 Brentford:

 

Aston Villa blasted away Brentford at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon, putting on a dazzling performance of attacking football to earn three Premier League points. Leon Bailey curled home the opener for the home side after only 65 seconds. Danny Ings scored twice in quick succession, including a penalty kick, and Ollie Watkins added a fourth just before the hour mark.

 

 

Leeds United 2-3 Fulham:

 

Fulham won their second game in a row on Sunday, defeating Leeds United 3-2 at Elland Road. Rodrigo put the hosts ahead, but goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, and Willian guaranteed Fulham's victory. Crysencio Summerville scored late for Leeds, but it didn't matter in the end.

 

Southampton 1-1 Arsenal:

 

Arsenal had to settle for a draw with Southampton as Granit Xhaka's first-half goal was canceled out in the second half. Saints improved significantly after the break, drawing level on 65 minutes with Stuart Armstrong's first goal of the season.

 

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-4 Leicester City:

 

Leicester City celebrated their first win of the 2022/23 Premier League season with a 4-0 victory over Wolves, thanks to a fantastic Youri Tielemans goal and contributions from Harvey Barnes, James Maddison, and Jamie Vardy, as well as a fourth clean sheet in five games.

 

Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Newcastle United:

 

Newcastle United moved up to fourth place in the Premier League with a 1-2 victory against Tottenham. Despite Harry Kane's header, first-half goals from Callum Wilson and Miguel Almirón proved pivotal for the North London club, who retain third but are now only two points clear of Eddie Howe's in-form United.
