Sept 22, V7N - Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a commanding 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, temporarily sending Arne Slot's side to the top of the table. Luis Diaz netted twice, while Darwin Nunez added his first league goal of the season, helping Liverpool bounce back from last week's defeat to Nottingham Forest. They now sit level on points with Manchester City, who will face Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Aston Villa had a stellar week, coming from behind to defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1, moving them to 12 points from five games. Meanwhile, Chelsea continued their resurgence with a 3-0 win at West Ham United. Newcastle United, who could have gone top, suffered their first loss of the season, falling 3-1 to Fulham.

Both Southampton and Everton earned their first points of the season, with 1-1 draws against Ipswich Town and Leicester City, respectively. Tottenham Hotspur bounced back after conceding an early goal to Brentford, winning 3-1 thanks to goals from Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, and James Maddison. In the late game, Manchester United were held to a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace, despite dominating the first half.

Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, praised his team's response after their Champions League win against AC Milan, stating the Bournemouth match was tougher than the scoreline suggested. Elsewhere, Villa’s late goals from Ezri Konsa and Jhon Duran secured three points after a first-half deficit, leaving Wolves bottom of the table.

Chelsea's coach Enzo Maresca expressed optimism after winning his third consecutive away game in the Premier League, while Newcastle's unbeaten run came to an end against Fulham, with Eddie Howe acknowledging his side’s need for a stronger start.
