    Everton 0-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa's dismal start continued as they played out a goalless draw with Everton, extending their winless and goalless Premier League run to four games.

    Villa offered little in attack, though Emiliano Martínez impressed on his return, denying efforts from Jack Grealish and Michael Keane.

    Everton dominated possession and chances, but striker Beto squandered two golden opportunities.

    Despite flashes of creativity from Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye, the hosts lacked a clinical edge.

    Villa's Emery faces growing pressure, while Everton's frustration grew in a stop-start affair. Boos at full-time reflected high expectations at the Hill Dickinson Stadium's third-ever league game.


    Fulham 1-0 Leeds

    A stoppage-time own goal by Gabriel Gudmundsson handed Fulham a dramatic 1-0 win over Leeds, securing their first Premier League victory of the season.

    The game lacked quality until 34.6 million pound debutant Kevin came on in the 76th minute, instantly energizing a flat Fulham side.

    His curling effort was tipped over by Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow, and from the resulting Lukic corner, Gudmundsson accidentally headed into his own net.

    Leeds had earlier threatened through Brenden Aaronson and Kaoru Mitoma, but couldn't capitalize. Fulham's late push, sparked by Kevin's lively cameo, proved decisive in a gritty and rain-soaked contest.


    Bournemouth 2-1 Brighton

    Antoine Semenyo scored one and assisted another as Bournemouth edged Brighton 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium.

    The hosts struck first through Alex Scott after Semenyo's clever setup. Injuries to Jack Hinshelwood and Maxim De Cuyper disrupted Brighton early, but they responded after the break as Kaoru Mitoma headed in from Yankuba Minteh's cross.

    However, Bournemouth regained the lead through a contentious penalty, with Semenyo calmly converting after Evanilson went down under light contact from Jan Paul van Hecke.

    Brighton pushed late but lacked sharpness, allowing the Cherries to seal a hard-fought and deserved three points.


    Crystal Palace 0-0 Sunderland

    Crystal Palace were held to a 0-0 draw by Sunderland at Selhurst Park.

    New signing Yeremy Pino missed a key chance in his first Premier League start, firing wide when clean through.

    Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs was superb, making several crucial saves to deny Palace's Mateta, Kamada, and Uche.

    Sunderland earned their first away point of the season, extending a solid start since promotion.

    Palace, missing key players Eze and Sarr, struggled to break down Sunderland's defense. The draw extended Palace's unbeaten run to 10 games but left both sides frustrated.


    Newcastle 1-0 Wolves

    Nick Woltemade marked his Newcastle debut with a decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Wolves, giving the Magpies their first Premier League victory of the season.

    The 69 million pound signing headed home Jacob Murphy's cross in the 29th minute, quickly endearing himself to the St James' Park faithful.

    Despite a strong Wolves start, Nick Pope's early saves denied Rodrigo Gomes and Hwang Hee-chan.

    Newcastle pushed for a second, with Sandro Tonali hitting the post, but couldn't extend their lead.

    Wolves' search for a first point continues, while Newcastle's season finally gets lift-off ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona.


    West Ham 0-3 Tottenham

    Tottenham cruised to a dominant 3-0 win over 10-man West Ham, intensifying pressure on under-fire Hammers boss Graham Potter.

    After an even first half, Spurs took control when Pape Matar Sarr headed in from a corner.

    Tomas Soucek’s straight red card moments later triggered West Ham’s collapse, as Lucas Bergvall and Micky van de Ven added goals in quick succession.

    West Ham, now winless in seven home games, were jeered by departing fans, while Mohamed Kudus endured boos on his return.

    The victory lifts Spurs to second, with manager Thomas Frank celebrating a historic start to his Premier League tenure.


    Brentford 2-2 Chelsea

    Brentford rescued a point with a 93rd-minute equaliser from substitute Fabio Carvalho, denying Chelsea a comeback win in a thrilling 2-2 draw.

    Kevin Schade's first-half strike, set up by Jordan Henderson, put the hosts ahead before Cole Palmer's volley levelled it.

    Chelsea looked set for victory after Moises Caicedo fired home in the 85th minute, but a long throw from Schade found Carvalho at the back post to seal a dramatic finish.

    Chelsea made key second-half changes, including Palmer's return from injury, but failed to hold on.

    They remain fifth, while Brentford sit 12th in the Premier League.
