Premier League round-up week three: Tottenham go top with bitter rivals Arsenal bottom after Manchester City thrashing

Twitter/@premierleague

The Premier League table looks good for one north London side and terrible for the other, as Tottenham Hotspur sit in first place with a 100 per cent record while Arsenal are bottom having yet to score a goal.

Tottenham and Arsenal have contrasting weekend fortunes

The Gunners were thrashed 5-0 on Saturday by Manchester City, as Mikel Arteta was taught a lesson by his former mentor Pep Guardiola.

Ilkay Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus, Rodri and a Ferran Torres brace saw City brush aside their opponents, leaving them bottom of the league with zero points.

For Spurs, Son Heung-min scored the only goal of the game in their 1-0 victory over Watford with his curling free-kick evading everyone and finding the net.

Liverpool and Chelsea share the spoils at Anfield

In the other huge game of the weekend, Liverpool and Chelsea drew 1-1 to ensure both sides remained unbeaten.

Kai Havertz gave the Blues the lead with a looping header early in the first half, but Liverpool equalised through Mohamed Salah from the penalty spot.

The Reds were awarded the penalty after Reece James handled on the line, being sent off in the process for deliberate handball.

Manchester United get back to winning ways

Elsewhere, Manchester United beat Wolves 1-0 despite putting in a lacklustre performance for the majority of the game.

Youngster Mason Greenwood scored for the third game in a row as United moved to third place in the league.

West Ham went ahead twice against Crystal Palace but couldn’t hold on to all three points as Conor Gallagher netted twice to ensure the points were shared in London.

Pablo Fornals and Michail Antonio were on hand to net for the Hammers, who still sit in second place despite drawing 2-2.

There was a similar result between Southampton and Newcastle, who also drew 2-2 with the Magpies twice going ahead before being pinned back.

Strikes from Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin weren’t enough as Mohamed Elyounoussi and James Ward-Prowse netted for the Saints.

Norwich City suffer a third-straight defeat

Newly-promoted Norwich struggled again, losing 2-1 at home to Leicester City.

Jamie Vardy and Marc Albrighton scored for the Foxes, either side of a Teemu Pukki penalty early in the first half.

Brentford have been more fortunate in their first topflight season, still yet to lose following their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

There was a first Premier League goal for Ivan Toney, with Emi Buendia equalising shortly after with his first Villa goal.

New Everton manager Rafa Benitez is proving how good he can be, with the Toffees winning again on Saturday.

Demari Gray and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored both the goals in their 2-0 win over Brighton.

Finally, Leeds and Burnley drew 1-1 on Sunday, with Chris Wood and Patrick Bamford scoring for their respective sides.
