Liverpool has the only perfect Premier League record three games in the new season after the brilliant free kick of Dominik Szoboszlai defeated the title of a title of Rival Arsenal 1-0 in Anfield.
The Challenge of the title of Manchester City is already collapsing after a second defeat in three games for the men of Pep Guardiola in Brighton, while the handsome departure of Tottenham under Thomas Frank came out of the rails during a 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth.
Manchester United won his first victory of the season against Burnley on Saturday, but needed a dramatic penalty by Bruno Fernandes in the 97th minute to appease Ruben Amorim before an international break of two weeks.
AFP sports Look at three discussion points from the Premier League weekend.
Liverpool Show Arsenal Awards to take risks
Szoboszlai said he had taken a “risk” with the power he put behind his free kick to become the first player to score against Arsenal this season.
This desire to go for the winner rather than for fear of losing was symptomatic of the difference between the two parties.
Although he has always found their feet after a major overhaul of the team who behaved as a title last season, Liverpool sits at the top of the table thanks to three late winners.
The Gunners, on the other hand, were too conservative and paid the price by missing the possibility of attracting an early psychological blow in the title race.
A defense of Liverpool which had conceded twice to each of Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Newcastle of 10 men in the community shield and the Premier League this season has been rarely tested.
“At the end of the match, I said that we have to find a way to win these big games” said Arteta.
Man City making “children’s errors”
Guardiola has spent more than 300 million pounds sterling for new signatures since January, but the defeat of Sunday 2-1 shock in Brighton has shown that the costly redesign of Manchester City manager of his bafousement team has not yet paid for dividends.
Faced with proof of a declining team during the first half of last season, Guardiola responded by exploding 180 million pounds sterling on Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Nico Gonzalez in the winter window.
There was little improvement because City drink in third place and lost the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace.
Guardiola was supported with an additional 140 million pounds to use Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri, James Trafford and Sverre Nypan during the summer.
However, after a sweet 2-0 defeat at home against Tottenham last weekend, City this time capitulated after Erling Haaland had pulled them on an advance in the first half.
“We are Manchester City and we come here to win, but it’s reality. We are not at the level for very long”, ” said midfielder Rodri.
“Some of the mistakes we make are children’s mistakes; you do not concentrate and do not pay attention. The reality is that we have to increase the level if we want to compete.”
Amorim safely for the moment
After the shame of an outing of the League Cup in Grimsby of the fourth level, the work of the boss of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, seemed to be deeply in the time of stopping at Old Trafford on Saturday with the level of Burnley newly promoted to 2-2.
Amorim himself had questioned his future in an emotional tirade after United lost against the Ligue two for the first time in the history of the club.
Many fragiles of Red Devils were still exposed while the Clarets exhibited the crisis of goalkeepers of United and the low sex defense.
However, Amorim had the moment of fortune he needed to avoid talking about his departure during the international break when a Var examination judged that Amad Diallo had been lowered inside the box.
Bruno Fernandes missed at the place during the 1-1 draw last weekend in Fulham.
But the United Captain was still responsible for burying the kick and guaranteeing the first victory of his team of the season.
