MANCHESTER (Reuters) - Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season came to a shuddering halt in a shock 2-0 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday that left them third in the standings with leaders Liverpool and second-placed Manchester City still to play this weekend.
Manchester United eased the pressure on coach Erik ten Hag with their first win in more than a month, a 2-1 victory over Brentford, while Aston Villa climbed to fourth in the standings by beating Fulham 3-1.
Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to thrash West Ham United 4-1 as the league returned from the international break, while Everton made it four games unbeaten with an easy 2-0 away win over Ipswich Town.
Brighton & Hove Albion beat Newcastle United 1-0 and Leicester City beat Southampton 3-2 away with a last-gasp goal, handing the 10-man hosts a club record 21 matches without victory in the English top-flight.
A brilliantly-worked goal by Ryan Christie and a Justin Kluivert penalty gave Bournemouth a home win against 10-man Arsenal, with Gunners defender William Saliba shown a straight red card.
