🦁 Liverpool put Man Utd to the sword; Newcastle win; Chelsea held | OneFootball

Sunday saw a triple-header of big Premier League matches taking place.

Here’s what went down.

Reds rampant at Old Trafford

Scorers: Díaz 35′, 42′, Salah 56′

Liverpool extended their perfect start to the season with a 3-0 dismantling of Manchester United.

The visitors appeared to have taken an early lead through Trent Alexander-Arnold’s slotted finish but VAR overruled the strike for offside.

Arne Slot’s side finally scored in their own right through Luis Díaz powering home Mohamed Salah’s cross to the far post.

Díaz doubled the Reds’ advantage at Old Trafford after Salah seized on another Casemiro mistake, allowing the Colombian to sweep home.

Ten Hag hauled off the Brazilian at the interval in favour of handing Toby Collyer a first Premier League outing for the hosts.

But poacher turned provider early in the second half as Salah joined the score sheet with a tidy finish from Dominik Szoboszlai’s cutback.

Isak haunts Spurs again

Scorers: Barnes 37′, Isak 78′; Burn OG 56′

Newcastle maintained their unbeaten start to the new campaign with a 2-1 win over Tottenham.

The hosts started brightly and almost took an early lead after Alexander Isak’s effort clipped the crossbar after he dispossessed Son Heung-min.

Minutes later, Harvey Barnes fired the Magpies’ next warning shot with a swerving effort just past Guglielmo Vicario’s lefthand post.

Their visitors appeared to have broken the deadlock through Cristian Romero’s header from a Pedro Porro cross but was immediately flagged offside.

Eddie Howe’s side finally opened the scoring through a deft finish from Barnes into the top corner after being teed up by Lloyd Kelly.

However the Lilywhites were able to draw level when Dan Burn turned Porro’s cross into his own net with an attempted clearance.

Howe introduced Sandro Tonali for his first Premier League involvement in 316 days as he replaced Sean Longstaff in midfield.

A breakaway in the closing stages saw Jacob Murphy stage a breakaway and squared the ball to Isak for his fifth goal in three outings against the Londoners.

Palace frustrate Chelsea

Scorers: Jackson 25′; Eze 53′

Crystal Palace bounced back in their second London derby in as many weeks by holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw.

Cole Palmer signalled the hosts’ first opening with a solo attempt which flew narrowly wide of Dean Henderson’s goal from distance.

The England international was integral in the Blues’ opener as he teed up Nicolas Jackson to slot home midway through the first half.

But their advantage only lasted until minutes after the interval when Eberechi Eze curled home a sublime effort from the edge of the penalty area.

Jackson enjoyed the best chance of the second half for Enzo Maresca’s side but could only find the side netting at the start of added time.
