Recap

Sunday's lone fixture didn't provide neutral fans much to get excited about, but Brighton picked up three pivotal points to continue their solid start in their first Premier League season.

Hemed bagged the only goal of the match early in the second half after a dire first period, courtesy of a clever free-kick routine.

Per Match of the Day, his record at home is quite special:

Newcastle had their chances to tie things up, with Jonjo Shelvey hitting the post late on and firing a free-kick over the bar. It wasn't enough, however, as the Magpies suffered their third defeat of the season.

The two Manchester-based clubs continue to lead the standings after six matches, with both teams sporting unbeaten records. The Citizens have a slight edge in goal difference and added to the tally on Saturday, smashing a hapless Crystal Palace 5-0.

Per B/R Football, it continued a trend:

Raheem Sterling bagged a brace, while Leroy Sane, Sergio Aguero and Fabian Delph also scored.

Rivals Manchester United weren't as productive in front of goal, but a solid defensive display and a single goal from Romelu Lukaku saw the team past Southampton.

The Red Devils have been solid this season and will face Palace next in domestic action on Saturday before a key date at Liverpool on October 14.
