Manchester United draw with Crystal Palace after Liverpool win in PL | OneFootball

It was a busy day in the Premier League, with eight fixtures across Saturday.

Here’s how it all unfolded.

Crystal Palace hold on against Manchester United

Manchester United and Crystal Palace locked horns at Selhurst Park, with United looking for revenge from the 4-0 defeat in last season’s fixture, but they were forced to settle for a draw.

The Red Devils began the game on the front foot, with Matthijs de Ligt testing Dean Henderson from a corner.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper was again called into action when Alejandro Garnacho ran through minutes later, providing an excellent save to keep the scoreline level.

United continued to push, with De Ligt and Lisandro Martinez both going close as they searched for an opener, only for Henderson to deny them both.

Garnacho continued to provide the biggest threat, hitting the crossbar just before the half hour mark before Bruno Fernandes volley on the follow up also ricocheted off the woodwork.

Eberechi Eze had Palace’s only shot on target of the half in the final minute as he fired straight at Onana, with the two sides heading into the break goalless.

Oliver Glasner shuffled his pack at the break, but the Red Devils continued where they left off dominating the ball.

Despite this, chances came and went and by the hour mark it was still goalless, with United yet to have capitalised on their clear dominance.

And they almost paid the price as Andre Onana was forced into an excellent double save to keep out Eddie Nketiah and Ismaila Sarr just after the hour mark.

Minutes later, Palace had a glorious chance to take the lead, but Eze sidefooted wide from six yards out, handing Man Utd a major scare.

But with chances at both ends squandered, it finished goalless, as Dean Henderson came back to haunt his former club.

Díaz on fire as Liverpool dispatch Bournemouth

Scorers: Díaz 26′, 28′, Núñez 37′

Luis Díaz bagged a brace as Liverpool overcame Bournemouth with a 3-0 victory at Anfield.

Bournemouth thought they’d taken a very early lead when Antoine Semenyo finished off a lightning fast break, but mercifully for Liverpool the goal was disallowed for offside.

Liverpool grew into the game and got their reward when Luis Díaz latched onto a long ball and made the most of some poor positioning from Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa to score.

It was 2-0 within a matter of minutes, and the Colombian was again the scorer, slipping the ball under Kepa after being slipped in by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The game appeared to be put to bed in the 37th minute when Darwin Núñez – making his first start this season – curled home a brilliant effort to make it 3-0.

Federico Chiesa came on for his Liverpool debut and had a chance to score almost immediately after being introduced, but his spectacular long-range effort was saved by Kepa.

Luis Sinisterra almost pulled one back for Bournemouth when his inadvertent header from a corner came back off the bar, with goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher reacting brilliantly to stop Alexander-Arnold putting the rebound into his own net.

Spurs survive early scare to beat Brentford

Scorers: Solanke 8′, Johnson 28′, Maddison 85′; Mbeumo 1′

Tottenham came from behind to beat Brentford 3-1, with record signing Dominic Solanke opening his account for the club.

For the second week running Brentford took a very early lead away from home, with Bryan Mbeumo hooking in a brilliant volley after just 23 seconds.

But like last week, they weren’t ahead for long, with Solanke soon equalising with his first Spurs goal.

Spurs then took control of the game and in the 28th minute went 2-1 up, when the hero of their midweek comeback at Coventry in the EFL Cup Brennan Johnson found the net again.

Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario found himself in a spot of bother early in the second half when he appeared to handle the ball outside the box, but after a VAR review the Italian was handed a reprieve.

But with five minutes of normal time remaining, James Maddison gave Spurs some breathing space, making it 3-1 when he finished off an incisive counter-attack.

Aston Villa come from behind to win Midlands derby

Scorers: Watkins 73, Konsa 88′, Durán 90+4; Cunha 25′

Aston Villa needed late inspiration to come back and beat Wolves 3-1.

It was a full-blooded derby at Villa Park, and it was Wolves who drew first blood midway through the first half, when Matheus Cunha lashed in a powerful shot from distance which clipped the post on its way in.

Villa had to wait until deep into the second half for their equaliser, but it finally did come courtesy of Ollie Watkins, who fired in from close range with the aid of a deflection.

And that goal sparked a dramatic comeback, with Ezri Konsa lifting the roof off Villa Park with a late winner two minutes from time, before Jhon Durán wrapped it up with a goal in stoppage time for 3-1.

Everton throw away another lead to draw with Leicester

Scorers: Mavididi 73′; Ndiaye 12′

Everton picked up their first point of the season, but will be lamenting another squandered lead in their 1-1 draw with Leicester.

The Toffees went in front after 12 minutes, when summer signing Iliman Ndiaye found the net with a low shot which crept in off the foot of the near post.

A biblical thunderstorm delayed the start of the second half at the King Power Stadium, and the heavy rain continued throughout the second half.

It wasn’t too wet for the Foxes to find a leveller with 17 minutes remaining, with Stephy Mavididi hooking in a loose ball from a corner.

Newcastle pay the price for costly errors at Fulham

Scorers: Jiménez 5′, Smith Rowe 22′, Nelson 92′; Barnes 46′

Newcastle suffered their first defeat of the season when they went down 3-1 at Fulham.

Raúl Jiménez gave Fulham an early lead when he was tee’d up by Adama Traoré, before finishing well on the spin.

Emile Smith Rowe almost made it 2-0 moments later, only to rattle the woodwork, but the former Arsenal man soon did find the net, with a stabbed finish goalkeeper Nick Pope got a hand on but wasn’t able to keep out.

After a disappointing first half, Newcastle made the ideal start to the second, with Harvey Barnes pulling a goal back in the 46th minute.

The Magpies pushed for an equaliser, but Fulham delivered the sucker punch in stoppage time, with Reiss Nelson scoring his first goal for the club to ensure the three points after being gifted the ball in the box by a wayward Bruno Guimarães pass.

Late Ipswich equaliser denies Saints first win

Scorers: Dibling 5′, Morsy 95′

The battle of the newly promoted clubs finished Southampton 1-1 Ipswich, thanks to a dramatic late equaliser from Ipswich’s Sam Morsy.

Saints took an early lead through Tyler Dibling, who showed excellent composure and control in the box to score his first senior goal.

And 90 minutes later Ipswich denied the hosts a first win of the season with a late equaliser from Morsy.

Chelsea cruise to victory over hapless Hammers

Scorers: Jackson 4′, 18′, Palmer 47′

Chelsea emerged victorious from Saturday’s London derby, with a Nicolas Jackson brace and a Cole Palmer strike giving them a 3-0 victory over West Ham.

The visitors took the lead after less than four minutes through Jackson, when West Ham’s defence were caught napping on a quick free-kick, and the striker brilliantly slipped his finish through the legs of goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

Palmer soon went close to putting the visitors 2-0 up, before Jackson did find the net again, latching on to a brilliant through ball from Moisés Caicedo, before stroking his shot into the corner with the outside of his boot.

West Ham had a penalty appeal checked by VAR, but Wesley Fofana’s tug on Crysencio Summerville was deemed not worthy of a spot-kick, before Mohammed Kudus thought he had halved the deficit, only for his goal to be ruled out for offside.

The Blues made an even quicker start to the second half than they did in the first, with Jackson slipping in Cole Palmer to finish emphatically in off the post for 3-0, leaving Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui looking glum on the sideline.

That result momentarily moved Enzo Maresca’s side up to second in the table. It is the first time in Premier League history West Ham have lost their first three matches of a season.
