Manchester City came from behind to defeat West Ham United 3-0 while Manchester United were forced to endure a 3-1 loss against Brighton in Saturday’s action of the Premier League.

Liverpool briefly went to the top of the table after beating Wolves 3-1 in the early game, while Tottenham beat Sheffield United with two goals in stoppage time.

United, which is led by Erik ten Hag, started the season in a good mood after winning a trophy and finishing third in the league. But now, things are getting out of hand.

Some fans hoped for a long-overdue run at the title, but after a third humiliating loss in five games, they are now nine points behind leaders City.

United started strong at Old Trafford, where they were trying to make up for a terrible start to the season. However, in the 20th minute, former youth player Welbeck shut down the home crowd.

Pascal Gross scored in the 53rd minute, giving United a big hill to climb. Joao Pedro made it 3-0 before Hannibal Mejbri scored a goal to make it 3-1.

With their win against United, Brighton moved up to third place in the table.

In his second year at Old Trafford, Ten Hag has a big job to do to save Manchester United’s season, which is full of problems on and off the pitch.

After a public fight with the manager, Jadon Sancho has been kicked off the first team. Meanwhile, Antony has been given a leave of absence to deal with allegations of domestic abuse, which he denies.

The Glazer family, the team’s unpopular owners, are still getting booed from the stands, and it looks like they have put their plans to sell the team on hold.

The winners Manchester City keeps on winning, even though Pep Guardiola’s team didn’t have it all their own way at the London Stadium. In the first half, James Ward-Prowse scored a goal for Crystal Palace, which put them behind.

Early in the second period, Jeremy Doku tied the score, and then Bernardo Silva put City ahead 2-1. Erling Haaland’s seventh goal of the season made sure that City would win its fifth game in a row.

The win gives City 15 points, which puts them two points ahead of Liverpool at the top of the table.

Earlier, Jurgen Klopp’s team woke up after a lacklustre first half against Wolves. They came back from being down a goal after Wolves dominated the first half.

Cody Gakpo scored 10 minutes into the second half, and Andy Robertson made a nice finish in the 85th minute. Hugo Bueno then scored an own goal to make the score look even better.

It was the third time this season that Liverpool came from behind to win.

Klopp said that his team should have won the game because of how well they played in the second half, but he stressed that they couldn’t keep falling behind.

“Turning games around is helpful in a season but we cannot rely on it, we cannot,” he told the BBC.

“We have to play better in the first half of games generally. We are not stable yet, that is not possible. Too many things are new.”

At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sheffield United looked like they were going to get their first win of the season.

But Spurs tied it up when Richarlison headed in Ivan Perisic’s corner in the 98th minute. This set up a great finish at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Dejan Kulusevski scored the winner in the 12th minute of extra time.

Aston Villa beat Crystal Palace 3-1 with three late goals.

Odsonne Edouard scored in the first half to give London a 1-0 lead, but Jhon Duran tied the game in the 87th minute.

Villa went ahead when Douglas Luiz scored a penalty late in stoppage time, and Leon Bailey made it 3-1.

Luton, who just joined the Premier League, lost for the fourth time in a row because of a goal by Carlos Vinicius of Fulham.

In the night’s first game, struggling Newcastle plays at home against Brentford.
