Premier League Round-Up: Villa End City's Perfect Start

Aston Villa ended Manchester City 's perfect Premier League start and Arsenal drew level with the leaders, while Bournemouth 's 3-0 victory at Manchester United intensified the pressure on Michael Carrick. Tottenham won at Chelsea, Liverpool climbed to fourth and Newcastle inflicted another defeat on Crystal Palace in a weekend that brought consequences at both ends of the table.

Jackson double opens the door for Arsenal Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Aston Villa beat Manchester City 2-1 at Villa Park, handing Enzo Maresca's side their first league defeat of the season. Jackson opened the scoring after six minutes.

Erling Haaland headed City level in the 52nd minute, but Villa's striker restored the lead eight minutes later. As City's official report records, Zion Suzuki also made several important saves as Villa resisted the visitors' pressure.

Arsenal took advantage with a 2-0 win over Everton, joining City on 21 points. Ezri Konsa and Gabriel supplied the goals as Mikel Arteta's side won without the injured Bukayo Saka.

The result kept Arsenal's challenge moving while they await further clarity on Saka's thigh injury. City remain ahead on goal difference.

Bournemouth leave Carrick facing fresh scrutiny Bournemouth 's 3-0 win at Old Trafford extended Manchester United's winless run to eight matches in all competitions. Rayan and Marcus Tavernier scored before half-time, before Evanilson added the third after Senne Lammens came out of his goal and failed to deal with a ball forward.

Carrick left Bruno Fernandes unused throughout, turning to other attacking options as United tried to recover. The captain's omission followed his public criticism of the team's approach in the Champions League defeat at Como.

United finished the weekend in 16th place with seven points. Our Manchester United-Bournemouth report covers the goals and selection decisions.
