Manchester United suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat against West Ham in the Premier League, intensifying the scrutiny on manager Erik ten Hag. The loss, marked by a missed open goal and a late conceded penalty, leaves United in a disappointing 14th place in the league standings after their fourth defeat in nine games.
West Ham's Jarrod Bowen capitalized on a contentious penalty decision in stoppage time, converting the spot-kick after a foul by Matthijs de Ligt. United's missed opportunities came back to haunt them, none more glaring than Diogo Dalot's inexplicable sidefoot over an empty net in the first half.
Meanwhile, in Chelsea's 2-1 victory over Newcastle, Cole Palmer showcased his exceptional talent with a pivotal role in both goals. Palmer's exquisite through ball set up Nicolas Jackson for the opener, before Alexander Isak equalized. However, Palmer sealed the win for Chelsea with a clinical finish in the 47th minute, taking his goal tally to seven for the season and leading the league with 12 goal involvements.
Crystal Palace secured their first league win of the season by edging past Tottenham 1-0, courtesy of Jean-Philippe Mateta's goal. The victory provided a much-needed boost for Palace after a challenging start to the campaign.
Looking ahead, Arsenal and Liverpool faced off in a highly anticipated match between two title contenders, promising an exciting clash between two top teams in the league.
These results mark another eventful weekend in the Premier League, with teams jostling for position and players showcasing their skills on the pitch. Stay tuned for more thrilling action in the world of football.
