Manchester City did pull one back from Joško Gvardiol but it was not enough to prevent Pep Guardiola’s men from suffering their first league loss of the season. Andoni Iraola’s impressive team move up to eighth in the table.

Newcastle also delivered another twist at the top end of the table as Alexander Isak’s excellent first half header from Anthony Gordon’s cross saw Arsenal to a 1-0 defeat to Eddie Howe’s team who are ninth in the table.

Nottingham Forest moved to third as they ran out 3-0 winners over 10-man West Ham at the City Ground. Chris Wood put Forest ahead with his eighth goal of the season before the Hammers had Edson Alvarez sent off following a reckless challenge on Anthony Elanga. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ola Aina put the result beyond doubt in the second half.

Southampton claimed their first league victory of the season with a 1-0 success against Everton after late drama at St Mary’s. Adam Armstrong scored what proved the only goal after 85 minutes just moments after Beto had hit the woodwork for Everton. Beto then thought he had equalised only for VAR to rule out his effort for offside.

Ipswich are still searching for their first league win since promotion after failing to hold on with 10 men against Leicester. The Tractor Boys went ahead at Portman Road with a fine finish from Leif Davis but the Foxes gained a lifeline after Kalvin Phillips was dismissed for a second bookable offence 13 minutes from time.

The visitors left it late but Jordan Ayew snatched a 1-1 draw after combining with Jamie Vardy in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
