Virgil van Dijk was the hero for the Reds, bagging a brace and leading the team past a courageous Brighton side.

Liverpool appeared to be cruising to the finish line until Alisson handled the ball outside his area, running into a direct red card. That means he'll miss the derby against Everton in midweek.

To make matters worse, Lewis Dunk converted the resulting free-kick, but the Seagulls could not find an equaliser. Per David Maddock of the Mirror, manager Graham Potter was not surprised:

In the early match, City twice gave away leads, settling for a draw at St James' Park. Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne got the goals for the Sky Blues, but Jetro Willems pulled the Magpies level a first time, and Jonjo Shelvey did so again in the final minutes.

The 2019-20 campaign is not going according to plan for the Citizens:

Chelsea also fell short of expectations on Saturday, losing their second straight Premier League match. Crosstown rivals West Ham came away with a deserved 1-0 win, courtesy of a goal from Aaron Cresswell.

The Blues were the better side before half-time, but the Hammers took control after the break. Their 33-year-old goalkeeper, David Martin, had a dream debut and couldn't hide his tears after the match:

Jose Mourinho's Hotspur side once again gave their fans a scare, taking a three-goal lead but nearly allowing a late comeback.

The match followed a familiar pattern:

Dele Alli scored a brace and Moussa Sissoko also scored, before a Harry Wilson brace had Bournemouth believing they could pull off the upset. Their comeback fell just short, however.
