It was all the time going to be a decent match however in the long run it took a second of genius from Dominik Szoboszlai to settle it in Liverpool's favour. The Hungarian is an attacking midfielder by commerce however since Jeremie Frimpong's harm Arne Slot has discovered a brand new position for him at right-back. Szoboszlai had clearly discovered some free-kick method from Trent Alexander-Arnold over time however his capability within the alien place was nearly extra spectacular. He had nearly no issues with Gabriel Martinelli and he shortly tailored to Eberechi Eze, who was a higher risk than the person he changed, however Szoboszlai remained calm and picked up all through. He was in a position to defend effectively and in addition produced some gorgeous passes, distributing lengthy and brief, altering the dynamic of the match as Alexander-Arnold used to. The victory over Arsenal shall be remembered for a cut up second of high quality however Szoboszlai ought to take nice credit score for a way he has tailored to assist Slot and his teammates.

When Matheus Cunha's dash in direction of the Burnley objective was curtailed by a muscle drawback, it was clear Ruben Amorim needed to make a change. The Manchester United head coach had two lifelike choices, both the thrilling new £72m signing Benjamin Sesko or the often-maligned Joshua Zirkzee. He went for the latter. Many had been bemused when Sesko was picked as the ultimate outfield participant to take a penalty within the shootout loss to Grimsby, however Amorim suggests the 2 issues are related as a result of the striker just isn't match sufficient after an interrupted pre-season. Amorim belatedly launched Sesko within the 72nd minute however he didn't supply a lot, lacking a few good probabilities to discover a third United objective. There's a lack of sharpness to his play and he seemed cumbersome however with Cunha and probably Mason Mount set for spells on the sidelines, there shall be higher alternatives for the Slovene to stand up to full pace. United can not afford to be affected person with him. WU

Josh King thought he had his dream second. A dart down the inside-left channel, a chunk of talent to throw off Tosin Adarabioyo, a misleading end to beat Robert Sánchez. It was the 18-year-old Fulham midfielder's first senior objective and it was fairly good. The bungling officers, in fact, had different concepts. They discovered a spurious purpose to chalk it off, penalising Rodrigo Muniz for a non-foul within the buildup. “He's going dwelling not understanding why the objective was disallowed,” Marco Silva mentioned of King. Most individuals shared Silva's view. Additionally they agreed with the Fulham supervisor's evaluation of King as a prime expertise. Away from the refereeing controversy, it was value dwelling on the teen's efficiency in opposition to Chelsea. King has been given his alternative this season, the departure of Andreas Pereira making area for him, and he appears prepared. He's shiny, fast and intelligent on the ball. King's potential is a few comfort for Fulham after an undeserved defeat. Jacob Steinberg

It was his weak go to Nico González that gave Tottenham their second objective final weekend, however in opposition to Brighton it seemed as if he had made sufficient saves to earn Manchester Metropolis some extent. He saved effectively from Kaoru Mitoma within the first half, after which he made an distinctive save from a deflected Jan Paul van Hecke effort close to the top. However inside a minute, Brajan Gruda was jinking spherical him to roll within the winner. Trafford's go completion of 77% was an enchancment on the earlier two weeks – remarkably so, given he performed 17 lengthy balls – however the larger subject is his beginning place. He doesn't sweep up behind the again line as Ederson does – few goalkeepers do – and that's contributing to Metropolis's vulnerability to balls performed behind their line of defense. Whereas Trafford is just 22 and should develop that talent, he doesn't in the intervening time appear like the proper keeper for them. Jonathan Wilson

There's a lot to admire about Bournemouth. After a summer season during which Andoni Iraola rebuilt his defence after the departures of Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez and Illia Zabarnyi to Actual Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain respectively, his facet's efficiency within the deserved victory at Tottenham on Saturday steered the Cherries shall be a power to be reckoned with once more.

It mentioned a lot for the paucity of high quality on show at Elland Highway that each one the speak centred on those that weren't taking part in, fairly than who was. Each groups didn't ignite, with Newcastle's Alexander Isak once more absent and Nick Woltemade not registered in time to play after his £69m membership file transfer from Stuttgart. It's now three video games with no win for Eddie Howe's facet and the visiting followers made their emotions about Isak clear with one significantly vicious chant. Higher information is that the 6ft 6in Woltemade ought to make his debut after the worldwide break when Wolves go to on 13 September. Leeds have scored solely as soon as this season however have taken 4 factors from three video games and never misplaced within the league at dwelling for nearly a yr.

One other sluggish begin to the season, one other summer season the place outgoings exceed incomings. This time final yr, Pedro Neto departed. Now, Jørgen Strand Larsen desires to depart for Newcastle – though there may be an insistence from the membership that he should keep. The Norwegian missed the Everton sport by means of harm and was a lot missed. Sasa Kalajdzic got here on as a late sub however, as Vítor Pereira remarked, the Serb is getting back from 560 days out with a knee harm and “can play 15 or 20 minutes”. Pereira was not shy in asking for extra recruits earlier than the switch window closes. “We'd like somebody, an answer in assault and we want an answer in midfield,” he mentioned, including: “I perceive the supporters.” John Brewin

At 5ft 7in, Sunderland's French midfielder Enzo Le Fée cuts a diminutive determine in more and more lofty Premier League circles however his first contact is sensational, his capability to learn the sport very good. In scoring an equalising penalty and serving to create Wilson Isidor's 96th-minute winner, Le Fée ruined Jordan Henderson's Wearside homecoming. It might need been totally different had Sunderland's wonderful Netherlands Beneath-21s goalkeeper Robin Roefs not saved Kevin Schade's penalty, however Brentford didn't heed the warning issued when Anthony Taylor awarded that kick after Reinildo hauled Nathan Collins down. Taylor pointed instantly to the spot after Rico Henry dragged Habib Diarra to the ground. Referees are purported to be getting robust on grappling so it was good to see this edict really enforced. Cue Le Fée serving to Sunderland overturn the lead Igor Thiago's header briefly gave Brentford, who clearly missed their absent, unsettled striker, Yoane Wissa. Louise Taylor

After West Ham's first win of the season Graham Potter touched on the volatility of his job. He did so after a query about Mads Hermansen maintaining his clear sheet, referencing a troublesome begin to life on the membership. “You get written off in your job after every week, which is ridiculous,” mentioned the West Ham supervisor.

Wilson twice went shut earlier than capping the scoring on the Metropolis Floor along with his first league objective in 16 months, proving a handful for Forest after changing Niclas Füllkrug. West Ham followers will hope there may be loads extra the place that got here from. Ben Fisher

Crystal Palace followers should ponder whether to chuckle or cry as their workforce proceed to defy the percentages. Eberechi Eze scores the successful objective within the FA Cup closing, then indicators off on good phrases to depart for his boyhood membership Arsenal for good cash. Marc Guéhi leads the workforce into their first ever European video games to qualify for the group phases – of a contest one stage under what their Cup triumph merited. They prolong their 14-game unbeaten run to hit eighth spot within the Premier League earlier than the primary worldwide break with a beautiful objective from Guéhi – who might now depart for Liverpool. Nonetheless, not less than they've acquired Adam Wharton … who then pulls up with a groin harm that would imply he misses one other alternative to shine for England over the approaching 10 days.
