Premier League Week 3 delivered another weekend of drama, surprises and talking points. From thrilling draws and late equalisers to big comebacks and a statement victory in the London derby, there was plenty for football fans to enjoy.
Arsenal continued their perfect start, Manchester City edged another tight game, while Manchester United were held to a dramatic draw. With the season still in its early stages, the title race and battle for survival are already beginning to take shape.
Here’s a look at all the Week 3 results and the biggest stories from the weekend.
Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth
A proper back-and-forth encounter. Bournemouth continued their habit of starting games strongly, but Newcastle showed character to fight back and rescue a point late on.
Brentford 1-1 Sunderland
Neither side could find the breakthrough needed to take all three points. A competitive game that ended with both teams sharing the spoils.
Brighton 1-1 Leeds
Leeds struck first, but Brighton responded to ensure they didn’t leave empty-handed. Another evenly contested match in a weekend full of draws.
Fulham 2-3 Crystal Palace
One of the games of the weekend. Palace completed a dramatic comeback to secure their first win of the season, while Fulham were left wondering how they let the game slip away.
Manchester City 1-0 Coventry
Not the most comfortable afternoon for City, but champions know how to win ugly. Erling Haaland’s goal was enough to maintain City’s perfect start to the season.
Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham
Tottenham’s search for goals continues. Plenty of effort but very little cutting edge, as both sides settled for a frustrating point.
Everton 2-2 Manchester United
Pure drama! United thought they had secured the win late on, only for Everton debutant Ainsley Maitland-Niles to produce a stunning long-range equaliser. Another game that will leave Manchester United fans asking serious questions.
Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea
The blockbuster game delivered. Chelsea struck early, but Arsenal showed why they’re serious title contenders, fighting back through Kai Havertz before Martin Ødegaard sealed the comeback. Three wins from three for the Gunners and an early statement in the title race.
Week 3 takeaway: Plenty of draws, late drama, comebacks and early signs that Arsenal and Manchester City are setting the pace. But if this weekend proved anything, it’s that the Premier League is already refusing to be predictable.
