Arsenal remain the only unbeaten team with a 100% record after a professional 2-0 win at Sunderland. Bruno Guimarães scored his first goal for the club before Bukayo Saka converted a late penalty. The champions now sit top with 12 points from four games.

Elsewhere it was a difficult afternoon for home sides. Liverpool were held 0-0 by Fulham at Anfield, Chelsea needed a second-half equaliser to draw 2-2 with unbeaten Hull City, and Aston Villa lost 2-1 at home to Nottingham Forest thanks to a late Igor Jesus winner.

Ipswich produced the result of the day, beating 10-man Crystal Palace 3-2 with a 90th-minute winner from Zian Flemming. Bournemouth and Brentford shared a 2-2 draw, while Tottenham remain the only Premier League side yet to score after another 0-0, this time against Everton.

Hull City’s impressive start continues as they sit third, while several expected title challengers dropped points.

The table is already looking interesting heading into Sunday’s Manchester derby.
