Man United escape defeat
Ruben Amorin had a very impressive debut in the Premier League. In the second minute, Marcus Rashford - who was the highest striker - had an excellent close-range tap-in to break the deadlock.
However, the three-man defence left too many gaps. The 18th-ranked Ipswich Town took advantage of a mistake to equalise. If it weren't for the brilliance of goalkeeper Onana, Man United would not have been able to secure a full point.
As for the new Portuguese coach, he still has a lot to do at Old Trafford. Currently, the "Red Devils" have 16 points and are ranked 12th on the rankings, 2 wins away from the 4th ranked team, Arsenal.
Man City's biggest home defeat
The 0-4 defeat to Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium has left the team facing numerous difficulties. Not only has their 52-match unbeaten streak at home ended, Man City also set a record for the first time in the Pep Guardiola era by losing by a margin of 4 goals.
Man City also became the first reigning English top-flight champions to lose five consecutive games in all competitions, after Chelsea since March 1956.
Currently, The Citizens are 8 points behind the top team Liverpool. If they lose to their opponent in the direct confrontation in the next round, the blue half of Manchester will sink deeper into crisis and narrow the door to defending the championship this season.
Liverpool, Arsenal triumph
The Gunners had an easy 3-0 victory over the unknown Nottingham Forest. Not only did they get all 3 points, Arsenal also became the second team in England to reach 2,000 wins, only Liverpool achieved a better record with 2,068 wins.
Mikel Arteta also became the 8th coach with the most wins in Arsenal's history with 109 times. The first person is the legendary Arsene Wenger with 476 wins. The "Gunners" also just ended a 4-match winless streak to continue chasing in this year's championship race.
Unlike the easy win of the London team, Liverpool needed Mohamed Salah to shine to secure the 3 points. The Kop's attack continued to soar when launching 27 shots, of which 11 were on target against Southampton.
This victory also helped Arne Slot become the first coach to have 10 wins after just the first 12 matches in the Premier League.
