New manager, but the same Liverpool spirit, as a double from Luis Díaz led Arne Slot's side to a commanding 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. This victory made Slot the first Liverpool manager in 49 years to defeat the Red Devils in his debut competitive match. Slot, who had big shoes to fill following Jurgen Klopp's departure, has made an impressive start, winning all three matches without conceding a goal, placing Liverpool just behind leaders Manchester City on goal difference. Speaking of Manchester City, the reigning champions dominated at the London Stadium, with Erling Haaland netting his second consecutive hat-trick in a 3-1 victory over West Ham, maintaining their perfect start in pursuit of a fifth consecutive title. Meanwhile, title contenders Arsenal dropped points after a controversial red card for Declan Rice allowed Brighton & Hove Albion to escape the Emirates with a point, while Chelsea also settled for a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. Newcastle, inspired by Alexander Isak, secured a 2-1 win over Tottenham, and Everton collapsed in the final moments as Bournemouth came back from two goals down to snatch a dramatic 3-2 comeback win at Goodison Park. All this and more is covered on this week's Just For Kicks.
