Monday Recap

Stoke made a bright start at the Amex Stadium and took the lead through a brilliant goal from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who brought down Xherdan Shaqiri's long ball and finished calmly.

Brighton should have had the chance to level from the spot when Glenn Murray was tripped by Ryan Shawcross, but inexplicably referee Lee Mason opted not to give a penalty. The Seagulls were level soon, though.

Davy Propper was the architect, as he bustled across the box and crossed for Pascal Gross, who hammered home the equaliser. Per Sky Sports Statto, he's quickly become a key man for Brighton:

After working so hard to get back on terms, Brighton boss Chris Houghton would have been so disappointed to see his side fall behind a couple of minutes later. Kurt Zouma was on hand to head home after a scramble in the box, giving the Potters a 2-1 lead at the break.

Still, Brighton kept attacking after half-time, and after a scrappy spell of defending from Stoke, Izquierdo wrapped home a shot from close range on the hour-mark.

As noted by OptaJoe, Stoke sent on Peter Crouch in search of a winner, with the striker breaking a Premier League record in the process:

But he was unable to spark another go-ahead goal for his side, and while Brighton pushed hard for the three points in the final stages, a draw was ultimately a fair reflection of an even game.

City's irresistible form continued at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, as they coasted to a 2-0 victory thanks to sublime goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne.

The former capped a stunning team move from Pep Guardiola's side, before the latter hammered in a brutal left-footed shot from range. They were goals that epitomised what this City side is capable of—both collective and individual brilliance.

As noted by Nick Harris of SportingIntelligence, the team have now enjoyed the finest start to a Premier League season ever:

United are their nearest rivals, as they thumped Newcastle United 4-1. And if it wasn't for their local rivals, there would be plenty waxing lyrical about the fine start Jose Mourinho's men have enjoyed, too.

The win over the Magpies was the most fluid they have looked in weeks, and it was no coincidence that United welcomed back Paul Pogba to the team. There's been a lack of drive and creativity at the hub of the side without his influence.

Bleacher Report's Alex Dunn doesn't believe United are quite the same without their midfield conductor:

Elsewhere, Arsenal moved to within one point of rivals Tottenham Hotspur after they won the north London derby 2-0. Goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez were enough to see the Gunners to a huge win and reignite their top-four charge.

A 4-0 win for Chelsea at the expense of West Bromwich Albion moved them up into third, while Liverpool appear to be finding form at the right time, too, as they swept aside Southampton 3-0 to preserve fifth place.
