How Premier League table looks like

The result follows the other weekend's feisty one-all draw with Arsenal at the Etihad. Arsenal, meanwhile, left it late to return to winning ways with a 4-2 win over Leicester City. Both Arsenal and Manchester City remain unbeaten.

The biggest result of the weekend was Tottenham Hotspur thumping Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford to pile more pressure on Erik ten Hag.
