Teenage talent Charalampos Kostoulas, 19, nicknamed 'Babis', scored a brilliant goal from 25 yards in Brighton's win over reigning champions Arsenal. This was his third goal in eight days, with manager Fabian Hürzeler noting his intrinsic motivation and improving professionalism.
Liverpool's defence has demonstrated renewed strength, achieving three straight clean sheets in the league for the first time since the beginning of last season. Defender Jérémy Jacquet, a £60m acquisition, was named in Zinedine Zidane’s France squad for his first senior call-up last week, with manager Andoni Iraola observing his adaptation to the Premier League.
Elsewhere, Manchester United drew with Fulham, a result head coach Michael Carrick might have considered a must-win. Despite managing 29 shots, only six were on target, with their goal requiring a significant deflection.
Brentford's 20-year-old Jannik Schuster, who arrived from Salzburg for around £16m, made a strong impression in his first start against Chelsea. He made 12 clearances, won three aerial duels, and blocked three shots.
Sunderland's Brian Brobbey, 24, scored a hat-trick in a 5-3 loss to Manchester City, marking his first goals of the season. Leeds' James Trafford, a £40m summer signing, also made a notable save against Yéremy Pino, further establishing his credentials.
Promoted club Coventry secured a win at Nottingham Forest, with Jay Dasilva scoring a superb goal. This result offers optimism after a challenging start to their return to the top division.
