Table toppers Brighton & Hove Albion beat Manchester United 2-1 on Saturday to stay perfect in the Premier League after Joao Pedro scored a late winner in the fifth minute of added time to give new manager Fabian Huerzeler a victory on his home debut.
Brighton striker Danny Welbeck scored the opener against his former club before Amad Diallo drew United level in the second half and the game looked destined for a draw until the dying minutes.
But Brighton's pressure paid off when Simon Adingra found space in the box and chipped the ball over United's defenders to an unmarked Pedro who headed home to give them their second win of the season.
"First I'm very happy for the win. I think this goal at the end shows how much we wanted to win the game, first game at home against a big team," Pedro said.
"I cannot feel better than today. I think the team did well."
Huerzeler, 31, has overseen two victories to keep Brighton provisionally top of the standings after two games.
United had the first opportunity to take the lead 10 minutes into the game when Diogo Dalot crossed the ball to the far post where Diallo failed to convert with a volley.
Brighton took the lead when Kaoru Mitoma received the ball on the left flank before his cross went through United's defence and into the six-yard box where Welbeck stuck out a leg to score his second goal of the season.
It was Welbeck's 100th career goal in club football and his sixth against United, the club he spent his formative years at and even won the Premier League title with in 2012-13.
Marcus Rashford responded instantly at the other end when he put the ball in the back of the net following a fine save from keeper Jason Steele, but his celebrations were short-lived when the linesman's flag went up for offside.
Brighton nearly doubled their lead early in the second half when James Milner was played in by Pedro but his shot was cleared off the line by Dalot.
Diallo then drew United level at the hour mark when he was put through on goal and the 22-year-old cut inside his marker before shooting, with the ball being deflected past keeper Jason Steele and into the net.
United could have completed the comeback in the 69th minute when a sweeping move allowed them to carve Brighton apart and Alejandro Garnacho took a shot destined for the net.
But Joshua Zirkzee was sliding in for a cross that never came and he deflected the ball in on the goal line from an offside position, with VAR chalking off the goal.
Haaland hat-trick as City roar back to crush Ipswich
Manchester City scored three goals in less than four minutes after conceding a shock early goal to crush promoted Ipswich Town 4-1 in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland netted a hat-trick and Kevin De Bruyne also scored as City stayed perfect in their quest for a fifth consecutive league title and Ipswich remained without a point.
Sammie Szmodics fired Ipswich into a surprise lead in the seventh minute when Ben Johnson sent him in behind City's defence and Ederson mishandled his shot which rolled into the net.
The visitors' goal fired up City who netted three times in 191 seconds, sparked by Haaland's penalty in the 12th minute.
De Bruyne capitalised on an error by keeper Arijanet Muric to put City ahead and Haaland grabbed his second when De Bruyne chipped a ball over the top and the big Norwegian beat Muric to it.
The crossbar spared Ipswich more first-half blushes as Rico Lewis and De Bruyne smashed shots off the woodwork in quick succession.
Haaland completed his hat trick with a rocket from just outside the 18-yard box in the 88th minute, the goal-scoring machine's fourth of the young season.
City, who had 76% possession, squandered numerous chances with 13 shots to just one for Ipswich, and had the league newcomers penned in their own end for much of the afternoon.
City fans welcomed second-half substitution Ilkay Gundogan back to Etihad with a loud ovation, his first game for Guardiola's team since 2023.
Guardiola's team had kicked off their quest for another title with a 2-0 win at Chelsea last weekend, while Ipswich, back in the top flight for the first time since 2002, opened with a 2-0 home loss to Liverpool.
Trossard, Partey earn Arsenal gritty win at Villa
Second-half goals by Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey earned Arsenal earn a hard-fought 2-0 win at Aston Villa as Mikel Arteta's side continued their perfect start to the Premier League season.
Villa did the double over Arsenal last season, defeats that ultimately cost the Gunners the title, and had plenty of chances to make it three successive wins at Villa Park, striker Ollie Watkins missing two gilt-edged openings.
However, Arsenal weathered the storm, taking the lead in the 67th minute through substitute Trossard, before Partey made sure of the three points 10 minutes later.
Villa supporters headed for the exits, ruing their missed opportunities, as Arsenal's travelling fans celebrated two wins from two to keep them on track for another serious title challenge.
As well as getting the better of Arsenal twice last term, accounting for 40% of the Gunners' Premier League defeats in the entire season, Villa came into Saturday's match as the only side to beat Arteta's team in 2024.
On the road, Arsenal have been especially unrelenting this year, winning eight of their nine Premier League away games ahead of the trip to the Midlands, scoring 28 goals, conceding three and keeping seven clean sheets.
The visitors again made a blistering start at Villa Park, dominating the opening exchanges, with Bukayo Saka denied by a superb early save from Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez.
Villa did settle into the game and should have taken the lead in the 24th minute, but England striker Watkins somehow contrived to miss the target with the goal at his mercy.
Watkins was again guilty of wasting a glorious opening early in the second half, heading too close to David Raya in the Arsenal goal when reacting first to Amadou Onana's effort coming down off the crossbar.
In pursuit of their first league title in 20 years, Arsenal were always going to threaten and took their chance when it came, Trossard sweeping home with his first touch after coming off the bench.
Partey’s second was less emphatic, squirming under Martinez, but no less crucial to end the Villa hoodoo and keep the Gunners firing. Arsenal have won their first two games in a top-flight campaign without conceding for the first time since 1971-72.
Son brace eases Tottenham to 4-0 win over hapless Everton
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s error and Son Heung-min’s brace helped Tottenham Hotspur to a comprehensive 4-0 victory over hapless Everton in the Premier League.
Yves Bissouma and Cristian Romero were also among the goals as Tottenham eased to their first win of the campaign in a game they dominated against a visiting side who have conceded seven times in two games this season and are yet to score themselves.
Pickford carelessly miss-controlled a simple back pass in the first half, allowing Son to snatch the ball from him and score Tottenham’s second goal into an empty, as the home side produced an accomplished display.
Everton, without several first-choice defenders due to injury, were unable to put pressure on their hosts and manager Sean Dyche will be seeking a quick improvement when they host Bournemouth next week in what is already looking like an important game for his struggling side.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou was left frustrated after they let a lead slip at Leicester City in the season opener, but they were in control of this match throughout.
Bar set-pieces opportunities, Everton offered little attacking threat and the home side made them pay for poor defending.
Tottenham took the lead as Bissouma scored his first for the club when the ball fell to him on the edge of the box and he thrashed it home off the underside of the crossbar.
They doubled their advantage after Pickford was sloppy in controlling the ball on the wet surface and Son’s pace and anticipation of the error enabled him to score his first of the afternoon.
England number one Pickford lifted his hand in apology to the Everton fans and teammates.
Tottenham appeared to take their foot off the gas after that, though they remained in control of the game, and it was not until the 70th minute they scored a third.
Romero powered a header into the net from a corner as Pickford stood statuesque on his goalline when he might have come to collect the ball inside his six-yard box.
Son added the fourth after a superb run from his own box by defender Micky van de Ven set up the South Korean to finish from a tight angle.
West Ham punish Palace with 2-0 Premier League win
A pair of second-half goals from Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen gave West Ham United their first Premier League win of the season as they cruised to a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Both sides had early chances, with Mohammed Kudus flashing a shot wide for the Hammers in the 11th minute and Palace striker Eberechi Eze denied by keeper Alphonse Areola five minutes later.
The best chance of a nervy first half fell to the home side as they pulled off a well-worked short corner just before the break that resulted in Eze firing a curling, dipping shot that smacked off the crossbar and bounced away to safety.
With the two sides cancelling each other out for most of the game, West Ham finally broke the deadlock when Aaron Wan-Bissaka, a recent arrival from Manchester United, came off the bench and launched a counter-attack up the right wing.
Wan-Bissaka found Bowen further forward, and his subsequent pass into the middle caused chaos in the Palace defence, and their inability to clear the ball was punished when Soucek made a trademark late run into the box to steer the ball home.
Hammers captain Bowen added the second goal five minutes later, latching on to a brilliant cross-field pass by Max Kilman before cutting on to his favoured left foot and lashing his shot into the net.
Jolted into life by that goal, Palace created a number of chances in quick succession and Ismail Sarr came closest to pulling a goal back, but his attempted effort shaved the outside of the left-hand post.
Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui brought Edson Alvarez off the bench and the Mexican defensive midfielder wasted no time shutting down the middle of the field to allow his side to hold on comfortably and give their new coach his first win.
Smith Rowe, Iwobi on target as Fulham beat Leicester 2-1
Goals by Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi gave Fulham a 2-1 home victory over promoted Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday.
Fulham deservedly took the lead in the 18th minute when Adama Traore played a superb through ball to midfielder Smith Rowe, who marked his Craven Cottage debut with a clinical left-footed shot.
Fulham's lead lasted only 20 minutes before centre back Wout Faes headed home from a Facundo Buonanotte corner to level it up for Leicester. Faes' goal was initially disallowed for offside but was awarded following a VAR review.
Iwobi restored Fulham's advantage in the 70th minute, however, as he beautifully controlled a long ball from left back Antonee Robinson before finishing with a left-foot shot to secure all three points for the hosts.
Fulham manager Marco Silva had named an unchanged side after their 1-0 loss at Manchester United last week, and they largely dominated against Steve Cooper's side.
Fulham could have been ahead much earlier after Faes' defensive error handed the ball to Traore, who moved it for Rodrigo Muniz, only for the Brazilian forward to send his shot over the bar.
Leicester rarely threatened Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno as they continue to search for their first win of the Premier League season, having drawn 1-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Monday.
