Manchester United4-4Aston Villa

Manchester United come from two goals down twice to draw 4-4 with Aston Villa

Manchester United were two goals down twice at Old Trafford on Sunday and drew 4-4 with Aston Villa, the equaliser arriving six minutes into stoppage time. Manchester United had 26 shots to Villa's 12 and expected goals of 3.55 to 2.88. The crowd of 74,149 saw eight goals and very little defending.

Villa's Alysson scored in the first minute with a shot that squeezed under Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who then parried a second Alysson shot, and Villa's Nicolas Jackson fired in the loose ball in the fourth. Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty in the 16th minute after his team-mate Matheus Cunha was brought down by Villa's Boubacar Kamara, and Manchester United's Youri Tielemans drove in from his team-mate Noussair Mazraoui's cut-back in the 44th. It was 2-2 at half-time.

Villa's John McGinn scored a penalty in the 48th minute after Manchester United's Diogo Dalot brought down Villa's Alysson. In the 53rd, in the scramble after a free-kick, Manchester United's Leny Yoro nodded the ball towards his own goalkeeper Lammens, whose punch struck the crossbar, and Villa's Leon Goretzka prodded in. Villa led four-two and looked set to keep it.

Manchester United substitute Joshua Zirkzee pulled one back two minutes into stoppage time, set up by his fellow substitute Patrick Dorgu, and Dorgu headed in a corner from his Manchester United team-mate Bruno Fernandes six minutes into stoppage time. Recovering from two-goal deficits is becoming a habit: Manchester United did it against Roma on Tuesday and twice more here, three times in a week.

Manchester United goalkeeper Lammens ought to have done better with Villa's first two goals, and his defenders Dalot and Yoro made the mistakes that led to the third and fourth. Michael Carrick's side, with 30 goals conceded in all competitions, drop from 17th to 18th on eight points, still without a Premier League win since August. Villa let slip what would have been their first win in four games and stay 10th on 13.

The statistics, line-ups and key moments are in the full match report.

Nottingham Forest3-1Manchester City

Two goals from Forest's Liam Delap give Nottingham Forest a 3-1 win over Manchester City, Forest's first home league win this season

Nottingham Forest beat Manchester City 3-1 at the City Ground on Saturday evening. It was Forest's first Premier League home win this season, and City's third league defeat running. City had 78 per cent of the ball and expected goals of 1.59 to 1.00, and Forest put five shots on target to City's four. City had the ball. Forest had the game.

Both first-half goals came from City mistakes. In the sixth minute Forest's Jair Cunha bundled City's Joško Gvardiol off the ball and stroked a low shot into the corner. In the 18th, Forest's Xaver Schlager won a 50/50 challenge against City's Elliot Anderson and released his team-mate Liam Delap, who ran unchallenged from the halfway line and beat City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

City's Rayan Cherki met a clearance with a half-volley in the 52nd minute to make it 2-1, and City then camped in the Forest half. In the 73rd, Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White led a breakaway that his team-mate Delap finished with a curling shot high into the corner. Delap's two goals were the Forest striker's first at the City Ground, and he spent 10 years in City's youth teams.

In 10 games City have let in eight goals before half-time. Forest rise from 19th to 16th on nine points. Enzo Maresca's City drop from second to third on 21, and Forest's win also dropped Manchester United into the bottom three, somewhere they had never been at this point of a Premier League season.

Sunderland1-0Chelsea

Sunderland's Enzo Le Fée scores from the spot to beat Chelsea, and Sunderland win a Premier League game for the first time since August

Sunderland beat Chelsea 1-0 at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, having not won a Premier League game since August. Chelsea had 69 per cent of the ball and four shots on target to two, yet Sunderland's expected goals were 2.55 to Chelsea's 0.53, and that figure tells the truer story.

Sunderland's Enzo Le Fée converted a 36th-minute penalty, with Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders diving the other way. The award was disputed: referee Jarred Gillett judged that Chelsea's Levi Colwill had pulled Sunderland's Brian Brobbey to the floor, although the two had been grappling as Brobbey drove towards goal.

Sunderland's Granit Xhaka went off in the fourth minute and Sunderland's Brobbey in the 67th, both with muscle injuries. Régis Le Bris's Sunderland rise from 20th to 19th on eight points. Xabi Alonso's Chelsea, beaten in two of their last three league games, drop from fourth to fifth on 16; Liverpool, fourth, have 18.

Arsenal1-0Hull City

Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard scores from a rebound in the 72nd minute to beat Hull City and keep Arsenal top

Arsenal beat Hull City 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, a fifth straight league win. The three-goal defeat by Brighton in September is still the only time Arsenal have dropped points this season. Arsenal had 21 shots to seven and 10 on target to two, and Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis made nine saves.

Arsenal's Kai Havertz had his shirt pulled in the box by Hull's Nobel Mendy in the first half; the VAR sent referee Farai Hallam to the pitchside monitor, and Hallam ruled that Havertz had been fouled but was offside. In the 72nd minute Hull goalkeeper Tzolakis saved from Arsenal's Noni Madueke, and Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard reacted quickest to slot in the rebound.

Sergej Jakirovic's Hull won the first two games of their first Premier League season in 10 years and have not won in eight league games since. They drop from 11th to 13th on 11 points, and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal stay top on 27.

Brighton & Hove Albion2-0Brentford

Brighton & Hove Albion beat Brentford 2-0 and go second, with Brentford's Igor Thiago sent off in the 23rd minute

Brighton & Hove Albion beat Brentford 2-0 at the American Express Stadium on Sunday, their sixth win from their last seven top-flight games. Brighton had 75 per cent of the ball and 20 shots to five, and Brentford did not have a shot on target.

Brighton's Diego Gómez scored in the 15th minute with a left-footed strike from 25 yards into the top-left corner. In the 23rd, Brentford lost Igor Thiago to a red card for violent conduct: referee Michael Oliver first showed him a yellow card for a clash with Brighton's Chema Andrés, then saw on the pitchside monitor the Brentford forward's arm catching Andrés in the face. Brighton's Pascal Groß made it 2-0 with a penalty in the 42nd minute after Brentford's Keane Lewis-Potter fouled Brighton's Luka Vušković.

Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton rise from third to second on 22 points, with Arsenal top on 27. Brighton's 26 goals are the most in the division, and only Arsenal, with five, have conceded fewer than Brighton's seven. Brentford drop from sixth to eighth on 14.

Crystal Palace1-3Liverpool

Liverpool win by three goals to one at Crystal Palace, who lose a fourth league game in a row and go bottom

Liverpool won by three goals to one at Selhurst Park on Sunday, and Crystal Palace, beaten in four Premier League games in a row, drop from 18th to bottom with seven points from 30 under Pierre Sage. Palace had 19 shots to Liverpool's 20 and seven on target to eight, and Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker made six saves.

Palace's Jørgen Strand Larsen had a first-half goal ruled out for offside. Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister headed in at the end of a free-kick routine in the 40th minute, set up by his team-mate Dominik Szoboszlai, and Liverpool's Florian Wirtz doubled the lead in the 54th after his team-mate Bradley Barcola picked him out. Wirtz set up his Liverpool team-mate Alexander Isak to score in the 89th, and Palace's Eddie Nketiah scored a penalty five minutes into stoppage time after Liverpool's Miloš Kerkez was penalised.

Andoni Iraola's Liverpool rise from fifth to fourth on 18 points, and both their league defeats this season have come at Anfield. Palace go to Coventry City on 21 November.

Everton3-1Coventry City

Everton's Thierno Barry scores twice and sets up the third as Everton come from behind to beat Coventry City

Coventry City led at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday night, and Everton still beat them 3-1 in David Moyes's 592nd game in charge of Everton, a total that matches the record for games as manager held by Harry Catterick. For Coventry manager Frank Lampard, back at Everton, the night ended in defeat.

Coventry played well before half-time, and wanted a penalty when Everton's James Tarkowski tugged the hair of Coventry's Caleb Yirenkyi; the VAR did not judge it deliberate. Coventry's Yann Gboho poked them ahead in the 52nd minute.

Everton's Thierno Barry headed the equaliser in the 56th minute, set up by his team-mate Vitalii Mykolenko, and bundled in the second from close range in the 61st, then set up his Everton team-mate Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for the third in the 81st. The Everton striker's tally this season is 10 goals from 13 appearances across all competitions, already more than last season's eight.

Everton rise from seventh to sixth on 16 points, and Coventry drop from 16th to 17th on nine.

Fulham1-1Newcastle United

Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz replies to a 25-yard strike from Newcastle United's Jacob Murphy in a 1-1 draw

Fulham and Newcastle United drew 1-1 at Craven Cottage on Saturday, both goals coming in the 80th and 83rd minutes. Each side put five shots on target, and Newcastle's expected goals were 1.03 to Fulham's 0.62.

Newcastle should have been ahead at half-time. Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno twice kept out Newcastle's Harvey Barnes, and Newcastle's Dan Burn had a goal ruled out because his team-mate Yoane Wissa had held Fulham's Timothy Castagne off the ball.

Newcastle's Jacob Murphy scored in the 80th minute: he seized a loose pass in the Fulham half, came inside and bent a 25-yard left-footer into the far corner. Fulham substitute Rodrigo Muniz equalised in the 83rd, ending a goal drought going back to last season's opening day, stabbing into the far corner after a pass from his fellow substitute César Palacios found its way to him.

Álvaro Arbeloa's Fulham are unbeaten in four Premier League games and stay 15th on 10 points. Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle were spared a fifth loss in six and rise from 13th to 12th on 12.

Ipswich Town1-2Bournemouth

Bournemouth win at Ipswich Town, and Bournemouth's Evanilson has now scored in five straight Premier League games

Bournemouth won by two goals to one at Portman Road on Sunday for a fourth Premier League win in a row, and Bournemouth's Evanilson is the first player in the club's history to find the net in five Premier League games running. Bournemouth had 15 shots to Ipswich's 10 and expected goals of 2.12 to 1.24.

Bournemouth's Evanilson scored in the fifth minute, nicking the ball off Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton after a backpass and tapping into an empty net. In the 46th minute Evanilson seized on a backpass from Ipswich's Abdoul Ouattara, and Ipswich's Leif Davis turned a shot from Bournemouth's Ryan Christie into his own goal with his chest.

Ipswich substitute Jack Clarke scored a penalty in the 73rd minute after Bournemouth substitute Lewis Cook fouled Ipswich's Ouattara. It was the fifth goal by an Ipswich substitute this season, and no other Premier League club has as many. Marco Rose's Bournemouth rise from eighth to seventh on 15 points, and Gary O'Neil's Ipswich stay 14th on 11.

The statistics, line-ups and key moments are in the full match report.

Bournemouth's second goal was an own goal by Ipswich Town's Leif Davis and counts for Bournemouth.

Leeds United1-0Tottenham Hotspur

Leeds United substitute Noah Okafor scores in the 79th minute to beat Tottenham Hotspur for a first league win since September

Leeds United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at Elland Road on Saturday, having last won a Premier League game in September. Spurs had 62 per cent of the ball, but Leeds had 16 shots to seven and expected goals of 2.02 to 0.77. The scoreline flattered Spurs.

Just after the half-hour, Leeds defender Jayden Bogle caught Spurs' Mathys Tel with a reckless challenge. The VAR check took more than four minutes, and at the end of it referee John Brooks neither sent off nor booked the Leeds defender. Tel went off injured in the 43rd minute, replaced by his Spurs team-mate Dominic Solanke, which added to the anger of Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Leeds sent on Noah Okafor and Harry Wilson in the 77th minute, and in the 79th the Leeds substitute Okafor, combining with Wilson, pounced on a loose ball and slammed it past Spurs goalkeeper Antonín Kinský. Daniel Farke's Leeds rise from 12th to ninth on 14 points. Spurs, whose three-game winning run is over, drop from ninth to 11th on 12.
