Liverpool emerges victorious in the initial head-to-head clash with Arsenal

Premier League Roundup: Dramatic Turnarounds and First Wins

In the English Premier League this weekend, several teams experienced highs and lows, with some claiming their first wins of the season, while others suffered their first defeats.

In a closely contested match, Liverpool edged past Arsenal 1-0, with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring the winning goal from a free kick at the 83rd minute. The Reds, who have made significant summer investments, showed improvement as the second half progressed, keeping a clean sheet for the first time since their wins against Bournemouth (4:2) and Newcastle (3:2).

Arsenal, on the other hand, suffered their first points lost and their first conceded goal in the Premier League. The Gunners started the match strongly, but a late goal from Szoboszlai proved to be the decisive factor. William Saliba's early departure due to an ankle injury added to Arsenal's woes.

Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion secured their first win of the season, moving ahead of Manchester City and into 10th place. The Seagulls came from behind to defeat Manchester City 2-1, with Brajan Gruda scoring the winning goal at the 89th minute. The exact scorer of Brighton's first goal in the match is not explicitly known, but the team's victory marks a significant turnaround after their loss against Tottenham Hotspur last week.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace secured their first win in Birmingham, defeating Aston Villa 3-0. Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi scored before the break, with Guehi netting a beautiful goal into the top corner at the 68th minute. James Milner converted a penalty for Manchester City at the 67th minute, but it wasn't enough to prevent a 1-2 defeat against Brighton, marking their second loss in three games.

Unfortunately, no clear information about Rapid's position in the table after their win over Hartberg could be found.

These results shake up the Premier League table, with teams continuing to fight for positions as the season progresses.
