A injury-ridden Manchester City has not had a fun week. After the league cup defeat against Tottenham, a new loss away against Bournemouth followed, who defeated the title holders with 2–1.

Antoine Semenyo gave the home team a dream start when he turned with his back to the goal and shot 1–0 in the ninth minute. In the 64th minute, it became 2–0 when Evanilson neatly pushed in the cross from Milos Kerkez.

Manchester City had previously injured star Kevin De Bruyne back in the squad, but he had to sit on the bench and see Josko Gvardiol nod in the reduction in the 82nd minute.

Norwegian goal machine Erling Braut Haaland almost equalized on added time, but the post saved Bournemouth. After 23 points in the first nine matches, City thus suffered their first loss of the season in the league.

Liverpool struggled hard at the same time against Brighton at home at Anfield. The visitors, with blue-yellow national team midfielder Yasin Ayari in the starting eleven, took the lead when Ferdi Kadioglu clipped in 1–0 just before a quarter of the match was played.

The turnaround came in just a few minutes in the middle of the second half. Cody Gakpo's cross found its way all the way into the goal before Mohamed Salah beautifully curled in from the right flank and scored the winning goal, 2–1.

Liverpool tops the Premier League with 25 points, two ahead of Manchester City and six ahead of new table third Nottingham. Anthony Elanga played from the start, but was substituted after just over an hour, when Nottingham won clearly 3–0 at home against West Ham.
