The Premier League is back in full swing, and there's already been plenty of excitement and drama to keep fans entertained. Here's a round-up of the latest news and headlines from the world's most popular football league:
Manchester City Start Season with Emphatic Win
Defending champions Manchester City kicked off their Premier League campaign with a convincing 5-0 victory over West Ham United. Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker who joined City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, made an immediate impact by scoring two goals and providing an assist. Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva also got on the scoresheet as City sent a clear message to their rivals that they're determined to retain their title.
Arsenal and Tottenham Extend Perfect Starts
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both maintained their 100% records after the opening two games of the season. Arsenal narrowly defeated Leicester City 4-2 thanks to a late winner from Gabriel Jesus, while Tottenham eased to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. With Manchester City and Liverpool also starting strongly, the race for the Premier League title looks set to be a competitive one.
Chelsea Suffer Shock Defeat to Southampton
Chelsea's poor start to the season continued as they suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat at home to Southampton. Despite taking the lead through Raheem Sterling, Chelsea were unable to hold on against a spirited Southampton side. Romeo Lavia and Adam Armstrong scored the goals that gave the Saints a famous victory at Stamford Bridge.
Manchester United Draw with Brighton
Manchester United's new era under Erik ten Hag got off to a disappointing start as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford. Pascal Gross gave Brighton the lead in the first half, but United equalized through Alexis Mac Allister's own goal. Despite dominating possession, United were unable to find a winning goal and will need to improve quickly if they're to challenge for a top-four finish.
VAR Controversy in Newcastle Draw
Newcastle United were denied a late winner against Brighton & Hove Albion due to a controversial VAR decision. Callum Wilson thought he had scored a dramatic winner in the 95th minute, but the goal was ruled out for offside after a lengthy review. The decision caused outrage among Newcastle fans and players, and it's sure to reignite the debate about VAR's use in football.

The Premier League action continues this weekend with a number of exciting fixtures. Arsenal host Bournemouth, Manchester City travel to Newcastle United, and Chelsea welcome Leeds United to Stamford Bridge.
