It was also their heaviest Premier League loss since May 2023 \u2013 a 3-0 home defeat to, of all clubs, Brighton. The result ended a nine-match Premier League winning run and handed the Gunners their first defeat of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brighton<\/a>&#8216;s 16 goals are the most by any side in the Premier League this season, and the most by a team in their first five games since Manchester City in 2022\/23 (19). Pascal Gross scored and assisted at the Amex and now has six goal involvements \u2013 three goals, three assists \u2013 more than any other player in the competition. The Seagulls are unbeaten after five matches of a top-flight campaign for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a story of pressing, not passing. Brighton won possession in the final third nine times, the most by any team against Arsenal in a Premier League game since Liverpool in December 2023 \u2013 and they did it with just 40% of the ball, mustering 17 shots and four big chances from a minority share of possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-manchester-city-5-3-sunderland\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City 5-3 Sunderland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Erling Haaland has now scored against all 25 Premier League clubs he has faced.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manchester City<\/a> edged an Etihad thriller 5-3, and it was Erling Haaland who settled it. His 81st-minute goal made Sunderland the final name on a remarkable list: the Norwegian has now scored against every one of the 25 Premier League clubs he has faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was some game to get there. City led 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 inside the first half alone \u2013 only the seventh Premier League match to see a team take the lead on three separate occasions in a single half, and the first since Brentford against Wolves in October 2024. The 5-3 final score was the first eight-goal Premier League game since Manchester United 4-4 Bournemouth in December 2025, and the first time City have conceded three at home since Spurs won 4-0 there in November 2024. Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side remain five from five and three points clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spare a thought for Brian Brobbey. His hat-trick made him only the sixth player in Premier League history to score a treble and finish on the losing side, and the first since Roque Santa Cruz for Blackburn against Wigan in December 2007. He is also just the fourth player to hit a hat-trick against the side that started the day top of the table, after Robbie Fowler (1998), Dirk Kuyt (2011) and Romelu Lukaku (2013). Brobbey&#8217;s 1.69 xG was the highest individual figure of the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tottenham-2-3-aston-villa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tottenham 2-3 Aston Villa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Two points and a goal difference of -6 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tottenham<\/a>&#8216;s worst-ever start to a Premier League season.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tottenham&#8217;s miserable beginning to the campaign continued with a 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa. Two points and a goal difference of -6 after five games is their worst-ever Premier League start, beating their 2008\/09 opening (two points, -3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was at least a small mercy. Conor Gallagher&#8217;s 86th-minute strike ended a run of 492 Premier League minutes without a Spurs goal, and their first league goal of 2026\/27 arrived with their 67th shot of the campaign. Spurs have now lost 22 home league games since the start of 2024\/25 \u2013 one fewer than in the previous four seasons combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-fulham-1-1-manchester-united\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fulham 1-1 Manchester United<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manchester United<\/a> had 29 shots at Craven Cottage \u2013 and still did not win.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manchester United peppered the Fulham goal with 29 shots at Craven Cottage, a total they have bettered in an away Premier League game only once on record (30 at Burnley in January 2026). They still had to settle for a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Profligacy is becoming a theme. United have hit the woodwork six times already this season, more than any side and their highest tally after five games on record. Their goal at the Cottage was an own goal \u2013 Lisandro Martinez&#8217;s third in the Premier League, level with Wes Brown, John O&#8217;Shea, Henning Berg and Jonny Evans as the most by a Manchester United player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bournemouth-0-1-liverpool\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Andoni Iraola is unbeaten in his first five league games in charge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liverpool<\/a>.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alexander Isak&#8217;s winner at Bournemouth \u2013 his manager&#8217;s former club \u2013 kept Liverpool&#8217;s unbeaten start intact. Andoni Iraola is the first manager to go unbeaten in his first five league games in charge of Liverpool since Joe Fagan in September 1983 (two wins, three draws).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Reds have kept three consecutive Premier League clean sheets for the first time since September 2024, and Isak&#8217;s goal was his fourth in five games \u2013 already more than the three he managed in 14 appearances last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-nottingham-forest-0-1-coventry-city\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nottingham Forest 0-1 Coventry City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/coventry-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Coventry<\/a> claimed their first top-flight win in 25 years \u2013 set up by their goalkeeper.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coventry&#8217;s 1-0 win at the City Ground was their first top-flight victory since April 2001, and the 100th Premier League win in the club&#8217;s history. Jay Dasilva&#8217;s 55th-minute finish was set up by goalkeeper Carl Rushworth \u2013 only the second time a team&#8217;s first goal of a Premier League campaign has been assisted by a goalkeeper, after Peter Schmeichel for Manchester United in 1992\/93. Coventry&#8217;s previous Premier League scorer was Mustapha Hadji, in the defeat that confirmed their relegation in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/nottingham-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nottingham Forest<\/a>, it was a new low: they have failed to score in their first three home league games of a season for the first time in their history. They had 26 shots, put just three on target and had a late equaliser ruled out by VAR. Morgan Gibbs-White created six chances \u2013 more than any other player in the gameweek \u2013 and still could not find a way through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-brentford-3-0-chelsea\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brentford 3-0 Chelsea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/brentford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brentford<\/a> became the first side to stop Chelsea scoring this season.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brentford&#8217;s 3-0 win made them the first side to keep Chelsea quiet this season, and their nine points are the club&#8217;s best-ever Premier League start, beating the eight they managed in 2021\/22. Their unbeaten home run in the league now stands at eight matches, stretching back to February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chelsea<\/a>, meanwhile, are winless in three and have now conceded in 21 consecutive
