It was a day of shock results and stoppage-time drama in the Premier League on Saturday as Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United all slumped to defeats.
Defending champions Liverpool dropped points for the first time this season, losing 2-1 to Crystal Palace after conceding in the eighth minute of added time. Manchester United endured a tough afternoon at Brentford, going down 3-1, while Chelsea—reduced to 10 men—suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, who struck twice deep into stoppage time.
Elsewhere, Manchester City cruised past Burnley 5-1, helped by two own goals before Erling Haaland sealed the win with a late brace. Leeds United were held 2-2 by Bournemouth after 19-year-old Eli Junior Kroupi netted a dramatic equaliser in added time.
The results mark a significant shake-up in the early season narrative, with Liverpool’s unbeaten streak snapped and pressure mounting on United and Chelsea after inconsistent starts.
