🔬 The Debrief after a day of shocks in the Premier League | OneFootball

Both Manchester City and Manchester United suffered surprising defeats as Luton picked up their first ever Premier League win.

Here’s what we made of a pulsating day in the English top flight.

What happened?

City tasted defeat for the first time this season after going down at Wolves, while United suffered their fourth loss of the campaign as Crystal Palace stunned Old Trafford.

It was a historic day for Luton as they picked up their first ever win in the Premier League, defeating Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park.

Elsewhere, Arsenal returned to winning ways in sublime style with Kai Havertz grabbing his first goal for the club.

You can catch up on all the results from today’s action here, where there were also wins for Newcastle, West Ham and a thrashing from Aston Villa.

Player of the Day

Martin Ødegaard is picking up where he left off last season.

He well and truly ran the show for Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium, orchestrating a dominant Gunners performance from midfield.

The Norwegian slotted home his third goal of the season from the penalty spot before swinging in a delicious free-kick for Ben White to head home the fourth goal late on.

The Key Detail

The story of the day came at Molineux as the champions lost for the first time since the final day of last season.

Craig Dawson and Max Kilman mustered 13 clearances between them in what was a resilient display at the back as Gary O’Neil shifted to a back five to counter City’s glorious attacking talents.

But it was the identity of the match-winner which has a certain scent of Barclays about it. Pep Guardiola forgot Hwang Hee-chan’s name when listed the strengths Wolves had in his pre-match press conference on Friday referring to the striker as ‘the Korean guy’.

He won’t forget it now as Hee-chan popped up to poke hm Wolves’ winning goal in the 66th minute.

Stats of the Day

What this means

It might be early days but City have handed an early title boost to the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, and with their recent injury worries it will give hope to the challengers that Guardiola’s boys are human.

While the boos rang out around Old Trafford as United suffered a fourth defeat in seven games leaving Erik ten Hag with much to ponder to get his side out of the malaise they find themselves in.

Also, don’t sleep on Aston Villa who hit Brighton for six in an astonishing result at Villa Park which leaves Unai Emery’s men in the top four having won 10 consecutive home games for the first time ever.

What they said

Mikel Arteta on his players giving Havertz the penalty: “To show that empathy to a player that has some question marks they warmed me even more today.”

Pep Guardiola on the defeat at Wolves: “We had chances and struggled to deal with transitions and they played very well. We were there and settled well and the question is when the opponent is faster and quicker, we have to accept it.

What comes next?

It’s all about one game next weekend as Arsenal host Manchester City at the Emirates in what could be a decisive game already in the campaign.
