LONDON, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Eddie Nketiah's 97th-minute goal with the last kick of the game ended Liverpool's perfect start to the Premier League as Crystal Palace beat the league leader 2-1 at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
Nketiah was on hand to prod home Marc Guehi's flick following a long throw just moments after Federico Chiesa had seemingly rescued a point for Liverpool three minutes from time.
Ismaila Sarr put an impressive Palace ahead in the first half and the FA Cup holder completed its second win over Liverpool this season after also defeating Arne Slot's men in the Community Shield.
Arsenal capitalized on Liverpool's defeat with two late goals to claim a dramatic 2-1 win away to Newcastle United.
Gabriel Magalhaes powered home a 96th-minute header to give Arsenal all three points after Mikel Merino had levelled with just six minutes left of normal time.
Nick Woltemade had headed Newcastle ahead in the 34th minute and hit the woodwork in the first minute of the second half, although it's hard to argue Arsenal didn't deserve to win after dominating the second half.
Aston Villa claimed its first win of the season with a 3-1 victory at home to Fulham.
Raul Jimenez put the visitors ahead in the third minute, but Ollie Watkins equalized with his first goal of the campaign, before John McGinn and Emiliano Buendia after 49 and 51 minutes assured the win.
Manchester City won 5-1 at home to Burnley, whose defender Maxime Esteve had a day to forget as he twice put the ball into his own net.
The win was harder fought than the score may have suggested, with two late goals from Erling Haaland giving an extra sheen to the score, while Matheus Nunes also scored for City after Jaidon Anthony's deflected effort had made it 1-1 at halftime.
Trevoh Chalobah's 53rd-minute sending off was the key moment in the game as Brighton overcame an excellent first half from Chelsea to come from behind to win 3-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Enzo Fernandez had given Chelsea a deserved first half lead, but Chalobah was sent off when the VAR deemed his challenge on Diego Gomez was a professional foul.
Danny Welbeck headed Brighton level before Maxim De Cuyper put Brighton in front in injury time, with Welbeck adding a second in the 100th minute.
The crisis continues at Manchester United after a 3-1 defeat to Brentford, who gave coach Keith Andrews a major boost.
The home side ran Manchester United ragged in the opening 20 minutes and led 2-0 with two goals from Igor Thiago, before Benjamin Sesko pulled one back for the visiting side.
Bruno Fernandes had a second half penalty saved (the second he has missed this season) and with Manchester United pressing for an equalizing goal, Mathias Jensen added Brentford's third on the break.
Omar Alderete headed in the only goal of the game as Sunderland won 1-0 away to Nottingham Forest. The result means Forest coach Ange Postecoglou is winless after five games in charge, while Nuno Espiritu Santo - the man he replaced - was named new West Ham coach on Saturday after Graham Potter was sacked.
Santiago Bueno's second half goal looked as if it was going to give Wolverhampton its first win of the season away to Tottenham, before Joao Palhinha snatched a 94th minute equalizer for Spurs.
There was also a late equalizer at Elland Road where Leeds United and Bournemouth drew 2-2 with Eli Junior Kroupi saving a point for Bournemouth after Joe Rodon and Sean Longstaff had scored for Leeds following Antoine Semenyo's fine free-kick. ■
