Manchester United had to settle for a single point despite a dominant performance by Erik ten Hag's team in their 0-0 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
The draw -- at least a small measure of revenge after United's humiliating 4-0 rout by Palace in May that was their low point last season -- left them 11th in the table on seven points. Oliver Glasner's Palace are 16th with three points. Selhurst Park continues to prove a bafflingly tough place to play for United, who have not won there in their past five games and have just one goal to show for that stretch.
Ten Hag's men will rue Saturday's squandered opportunities, including two agonising near misses in rapid-fire succession in the first half that saw Alejandro Garnacho and then Bruno Fernandes hammer shots off the crossbar within a few seconds, both left to hold their heads in disbelief.
Glasner's halftime message was about his team's lack of intensity, and it showed in the their cranked up second-half performance.
Liverpool v Bournemouth
Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth that sent Arne Slot's side top of the table for 24 hours on Saturday.
Winger Luis Diaz scored twice and Darwin Nunez netted his first league goal of the season as Liverpool avoided any repeat of last week's home defeat by Nottingham Forest.
Slot's side have 12 points, the same as Manchester City who take on Arsenal (10) at The Etihad on Sunday.
Chelsea showed further signs of improvement as they cruised to a 3-0 win at West Ham United but Newcastle United, who could have gone top, suffered their first defeat of the season, going down 3-1 away to Fulham.
Southampton and Everton both secured their first points of the season with 1-1 draws against Ipswich Town and Leicester City respectively.
Aston Villa completed a superb week when they hit back from a goal down to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 and also move to 12 points from their opening five games.
Brentford scored inside the opening minute for the second successive week but lost 3-1 at Tottenham Hotspur, for whom Dominic Solanke scored his first goal.
