Recap

Sterling's last minute winner at Dean Court was draped in controversy for all kinds of reasons. Sports editor Adam Joseph tried to explain:

"

10 yellow cards. Raheem Sterling scores 7 minutes into 5 minutes of stoppage time. Sterling then sent off.

The English Premier League.

The hosts had taken the lead through Charlie Daniels, and Gabriel Jesus tied things up shortly after, setting up a tense affair with plenty of rash tackles and little good football.

City were the better side for the bulk of the match but couldn't find a deserved winner until deep in extra time. While rival fans cried foul, a good portion of added time was wasted due to injury treatment, so the timing of Sterling's goal wasn't that far off.

His second yellow card was another source of contention, as the former Liverpool man received it for celebrating the strike with his own fans. TalkSport's Adam Catterall was not happy about the decision:

The afternoon slate of matches saw a rampant Newcastle team run past West Ham, courtesy of goals from Joselu, Ciaran Clark and Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Magpies dominated an overwhelmed Hammers team, which still hasn't earned a single point this season.

Per the Independent's Jack Pitt-Brooke, the team is already in serious trouble:

Crystal Palace's start to the season hasn't been any better, and the Eagles dropped their third straight match, losing at home against Swansea City. Tammy Abraham and Jordan Ayew were on point for Swans, gifting the team their first win of the season.

In the last match of the day, Marcus Rashford and Marouane Fellaini gave United a 2-0 win over Leicester. The Foxes couldn't halt the Red Devils' excellent run and were lucky not to concede more, as Romelu Lukaku missed a penalty and the hosts wasted a bunch of chances.
