Burnley 0-3 Liverpool

Burnley 0-3 Liverpool | Premier League Highlights

Liverpool moved back to the top of the Premier League table with a dominant 3-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor – a club record 13th consecutive league victory.

Chris Wood was unfortunate to deflect Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross beyond his own goalkeeper in the 33rd minute and Sadio Mane doubled the lead soon after.

Roberto Firmino sealed the points late on to maintain Liverpool's perfect start as they broke their record of 12 consecutive league victories set under Kenny Dalglish in 1990.

Manchester City 4-0 Brighton

Aguero scores stunning strike! | Man City 4-0 Brighton | Premier League Highlights

Kevin De Bruyne netted after 68 seconds and Sergio Aguero struck twice as champions Manchester City strolled to a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Brighton.

Aguero, who has now scored five in four Premier League games this season, also set up City's fourth for substitute Bernardo Silva in a one-sided encounter at the Etihad Stadium.

The only downside for City was the loss of Aymeric Laporte with a serious-looking knee injury in the first half.

The defender, a day after being named as the best left-sided centre-back in the world by manager Pep Guardiola, was injured in a challenge on Adam Webster.

Laporte had been hopeful of making his France debut in the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Albania and Andorra, but that now looks in doubt.

City have already lost Leroy Sane to a long-term knee injury this season and will be anxious Laporte's problem is not as bad. The injury took the shine off an otherwise fine afternoon.


Chelsea 2-2 Sheffield United

Sheffield United comeback from 2-0 down! | Chelsea 2-2 Sheffield United | Premier League Highlights

Sheffield United came from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at Chelsea which leaves Frank Lampard still looking for a first home win in charge.

The Blues looked to have the points in the bag as Tammy Abraham's first-half double gave them a comfortable half-time lead, but the Blades mounted an impressive second-half recovery.

Callum Robinson got it under way less than a minute after the restart and then Kurt Zouma's own goal in the 87th minute earned a deserved point for the Blades.

Lampard was fuming when the leveller went in, throwing a bottle down in disgust, but his young side's soft underbelly was exposed by the Blades.

Boss Chris Wilder will not care too much about that, though, as his team celebrated a second point on the road of the campaign.


Leicester City 3-1 Bournemouth

Jamie Vardy scores sublime 25-yard lob | Leicester City 3-1 Bournemouth | Premier League Highlights

Jamie Vardy's double sunk Bournemouth as Leicester sent out an early European warning. The Foxes climbed to third in the Premier League as they continued their unbeaten start with a 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium.

Vardy scored in each half and set up Youri Tielemans just before the break with Brendan Rodgers' side looking to gatecrash the top six this term.

England striker Callum Wilson's first goal of the season had initially pulled Bournemouth level in the first half. Tielemans also escaped a second-half red card after a VAR check when he went over the ball to catch Wilson on the ankle.

The Cherries would have had every right to feel aggrieved with VAR again under the spotlight, as it was they slipped to 14th after suffering successive defeats.
