It was a dramatic weekend in the English Premier League, filled with late goals, red cards, and shocking upsets that reshuffled the table. While Manchester City marched on in ruthless fashion, traditional giants Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea all fell to painful defeats.
Brighton Humble Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea’s struggles continued as they suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton. The Blues looked on course for victory after Enzo Fernández nodded home from close range following fine work from Reece James.
But the game turned on its head in the second half when Trevoh Chalobah was sent off for denying a clear goalscoring chance. Brighton took full advantage, with Danny Welbeck equalising in the 77th minute before Maxim De Cuyper headed home in stoppage time. Welbeck struck again late on to seal a famous victory, leaving Enzo Maresca’s men booed off by frustrated home fans.
Crystal Palace Stun Liverpool with Last-Gasp Winner
At Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace shocked league leaders Liverpool in a pulsating 2-1 victory. Ismaïla Sarr opened the scoring before Liverpool’s summer signing Federico Chiesa hit back to level.
But just when it looked like the Reds would escape with a point, substitute Eddie Nketiah struck deep into stoppage time to hand Palace a dramatic win. Arne Slot admitted afterwards that his side “got what they deserved,” as Liverpool’s unbeaten run came to an end.
Brentford Punish Struggling Manchester United
Over at the Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford piled more misery on Manchester United with a convincing 3-1 triumph.
Igor Thiago scored twice early on, while Mathias Jensen added a late goal to put the result beyond doubt. United managed a consolation but could not avoid another damaging defeat, leaving Rúben Amorim under increasing pressure. The Portuguese coach insists he is “never concerned” about his job, but United’s failure to string together consecutive wins has fans questioning the club’s direction.
Manchester City Run Riot Against Burnley
Meanwhile, defending champions Manchester City showcased their firepower, thrashing Burnley 5-1 at the Etihad. Two own goals from the visitors and strikes from City’s frontline put the game to bed early, ensuring Pep Guardiola’s men remain firmly in the title race.
Leeds and Bournemouth Share the Spoils
At Elland Road, Leeds United and Bournemouth played out a thrilling 2-2 draw. Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo struck first with a well-placed free kick, but Leeds hit back through Joe Rodon and Sean Longstaff.
