Liverpool rose to the top of the Premier League despite failing to win, while Manchester City put in a dominant performance against Chelsea to move into second in the table and Arsenal got one over on rivals Tottenham.
The Reds drew 3-3 with Brentford in a dramatic match, with goals from Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones but they were pegged back each time by Ethan Pinnock, Vitaly Janelt and Yoane Wissa.
Despite only managing a draw, Jurgen Klopp’s side still rose to the top of the league and maintained their unbeaten start to the campaign.

Gabriel Jesus scored the only goal of a game where the Blues failed to register a single shot on target, falling to their first loss of the campaign.
Arsenal earn the north London derby bragging rights
The biggest result of the weekend came when Arsenal brushed Spurs aside, winning 3-1 in the latest north London derby.
The Gunners raced into a 3-0 lead through Emile Smith-Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka before Spurs netted a consolation through Hueng-Min Son.

Manchester United fell to a late defeat against Aston Villa, conceding an 88th-minute Kourtney Hause header.
Bruno Fernandes squandered the chance to equalise, missing a penalty in the 93rd minute to hand Villa all three points.
Elsewhere, Brighton snatched a point with the last kick of the game on Monday night to draw 1-1 with rivals Crystal Palace.

Norwich remain pointless in the Premier League
