The Premier League returned after the international break, with top clubs continuing where they left off; some turned things around for themselves, while it is a familiar story for others.

From London derbies to the only Manchester derby in the land, here are the top 10 highlights of Premier League round 4 of matches.

Top 10 Highlights of Premier League Round 4

1. Manchester United fell flat to Haaland and Foden in the derby

Manchester City claimed a comfortable win over their rivals in the Manchester derby on Sunday, with Erling Haaland's second-half brace adding to a Phil Foden header to seal a well-deserved 3-0 win at the Etihad.

The visitors, who picked up their first win of the season, could not muster any real threat to their domineering host, who showed more eagerness to claim the win despite having a lot of injury concerns, most especially in defence.

Ruben Amorim's charge picked up their first win of the season before the international break and were counting on their manager's impressive record against City to help them to their first back-to-back league win since the start of last season.

Unbeaten in their last four derbies ahead of kickoff, excluding penalties, United were optimistic of their chances, but it was the host who dominated the game from start to finish and left nothing to chance on their way to only a second win of the season.

Phil Foden opened the scoring, heading home a Jeremy Doku cross inside the opening 20 minutes, claiming his seventh derby goal, only behind club legend Sergio Aguero (9) for the Etihad landlords against their biggest foe.

He was soon overtaken by Erling Haaland, who scored a second-half brace to take his tally in the fixture to eight following his move from Borussia Dortmund in 2023, and on his 50th City game at the Etihad, taking his tally in the stadium to 50 goals.

The result sends Manchester City above their city rivals to eighth place in the league standings, while United falls three places behind their 11th before kickoff.

2. Arsenal | Martin Zubimendi Masterclass

Martin Zubimendi had an afternoon of his life in an attack on Saturday as his brace helped Arsenal to a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates.

It was an unusual afternoon for the Spanish midfielder, returning from an international break where he held the heart of the park in the games against Bulgaria and Turkiye in the European World Cup qualifiers.

Started in his usual holding midfield position alongside his former teammates at Real Sociedad, Martin Ødegaard and Mikel Merino, the latter who scored four goals across the two games for Spain during the break.

The trio was first broken as captain Martin Ødegaard had to leave the pitch in the opening 20 minutes following an awful landing on his misfit shoulder.

Martin Zubimendi broke the deadlock two minutes after the half-hour mark, firing home a sensational volley from outside the box after Noni Madueke's corner was headed away by Chris Wood.

The goal was his first-ever from outside of the box, and it was very much deserved by Mikel Arteta's charge, who had dominated the contest from kickoff but could not beat a stubborn Matz Sels for half an hour.

The 27-year-old headed home Arsenal's third to finally put the game to bed in the 79th minute, timing his leap to beat a defender to Leandro Trossard's cross, adding to Viktor Gyokeres' strike at the start of the second half to seal a 3-0 victory.

3. Cole Palmer ends drought, but Carvalho denied Chelsea

Chelsea was on course to seal their first away win over Brentford in four league attempts as Cole Palmer came off the bench to inspire a turnaround, but Fabio Carvalho pegged them back late on.

Despite their dominance, the visitors fell behind in the first half as Kevin Schade produced his first goal of the season, doing well to get the best of Tosin Adarabioyo before placing his shot into the bottom corner, following a scrumptious long pass from Jordan Henderson.

By setting up the goal, the former Liverpool captain recorded his 55th Premier League assist, overtaking Mesut Ozil and Eden Hazard for most in the competition, while it also made his seventh goal contribution against The Blues, his joint most against a single club.

Chelsea restored parity through Cole Palmer, who produced his first league open play goal since January, firing home a Joao Pedro header down five minutes after coming off the bench to mark his injury return.

Moises Caicedo completed the comeback five minutes from time, firing home from the edge of the penalty area after an unconvincing defensive clearance from Alejandro Garnacho's cross, and had Enzo Maresca's charge thinking of all three points and a return to the summit.

But their hopes were dashed by 90th-minute substitute Fabio Carvalho, who fired home from close range following a long throw-in the penultimate minute of added time to ensure Keith Andrews' charge remains unbeaten at home this season.

4. Liverpool | Champions find a way, Again

Liverpool made it four wins from four in the Premier League this season thanks to another fortunate ending to their trip to Turf Moor, where the hosts' resolute defending threatened to strip them of their winning run.

Mohamed Salah's late penalty secured all three points for Arne Slot's charge, who have now become the first team to win all of their opening four Premier League games in a season by late goals.

Burnley, who had not lost a league game since the start of last season, defended compactly all game, even after they were reduced to ten men with Lesley Ugochukwu's sending off, but all their hard work was undone by a reckless handball from Hannibal Mejbri.

Mohamed Salah converted the resulting penalty to move ahead of Andy Cole in the all-time list for goals in Premier League history with his 188th, securing a massive win for The Reds, who reclaimed their spot on the league summit.

5. Emiliano Martinez halts Everton's run

David Moyes had Everton on their way to four consecutive wins across all competitions since December 2023, but Emiliano Martinez stood in their way between the points, as the spoils were shared in Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Argentine made a couple of big stops to deny Beto, Grealish, and Keane, and those saves were worth the game, keeping his eighth league clean sheet in 10 games in this fixture, and his first of the season in the league.

While Unai Emery's charge continues to misfire in attack, they remain the only side yet to find the back of the net after four matches; the prowess of their goalkeeper remains a reliable source of points, with their two draws so far all thanks to heroics between the sticks.

David Moyes will surely be disappointed that his team couldn't convert any of their chances, but he'll not be too worried about their clinicality because Saturday was just about a certain goalkeeper at the top of his game, and unlucky for them, he wasn't to be beaten.

Martinez himself will be delighted with his performance to repay the faith of the club in restoring him to the team, following a failed attempt to move on in the summer.

6. More Hammering of Hammers as Spurs return to winning ways

Tottenham Hotspur put behind their defeat before the international break to heap more misery on West Ham United, inflicting a third league defeat on their host in the London derby on Saturday.

After their impressive late show against Nottingham Forest before the break, where they scored three late goals to seal a flawless victory, West Ham's hopes were up again, but they were brought down to earth by a rampant Spurs.

After holding off the visitors at halftime, they fell behind two minutes into the second as an unmarked Pape Matar Sarr headed home a corner kick from debutant Xavi Simons to finally break the deadlock.

Things went from bad to worse for Graham Potter's charge as Tomas Soucek was sent off with a straight red card for catching Joao Palhinha with his stud, and the visitors made the man advantage count three minutes later, when Lucas Bergvall headed home a long ball from Cuti Romero for 2-0.

The young Swede went on to assist Micky Van de Ven for the third, becoming the second youngest player to score and assist for Spurs in a Premier League game, behind Nick Barmby against Nottingham Forest in December 1992.

7. Nick Woltemade brings Newcastle's first win on debut

Newcastle United finally secured their first win of the season thanks to Nick Woltemade, who scored the only goal just before the half-hour to condemn Wolves to their fourth defeat of the season, capping off their worst start ever to a league season in their 127 years of league football.

The club record signing, who completed his move from Bundesliga side Stuttgart at the end of August, became the third German to score on their Premier League debut after Jurgen Klinsmann and Ilkay Gundogan.

His header, assisted by Jacob Murphy, also makes him the first German to score for Newcastle United since Dietmar Hamann on the final day of the 1998-99 season and the second to ever score for them after the aforementioned former midfielder.

8. Unlucky Fulham finally got lucky

Fulham earned their first league win of the season thanks to a late own goal from Leeds United left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson in Craven Cottage, which sees them extend their winning run in the fixture to four.

Marco Silva and his minions were unlucky with referee calls in their first loss of the season at Chelsea just before the international break, while Rodrigo Muniz's own goal gave a toothless Manchester United the lead in their 1-1 draw the weekend before.

An evenly contested clash with Leeds United was heading to a stalemate finish, but the host got lucky in the fourth minute of the six added, as Tom Cairney's wayward header from a corner came off the head of Gudmundsson and into the back of the net.

Fulham also have goalkeeper Bernd Leno to thank for their first league clean sheet of the campaign, as it was the German who kept Leeds at bay, making three vital saves and serving passes with accuracy to ease pressure.

9. Robin Hook The Eagles in their Palace

Young goalkeeper Robin Roefs inspired Sunderland to a point away to Crystal Palace, becoming the first newly promoted team to win a point away from him in the Premier League this season.

The Dutchman made six saves and prevented 1.36 goals as a result, kept his second clean sheet of the season, and was the highest-rated player in the first match, where Palace had failed to score at home since vs. Bournemouth in April.

Sunderland are up to seventh on the log with as many points as the other two newly promoted teams combined, seven, and will look to make it a third straight win at home when they host Aston Villa, who haven't scored in the league this season.

10. Semenyo and Bournemouth continue to rise

After losing the Premier League curtain raiser at Liverpool, no team has won more points than Bournemouth, who made it three wins out of three with an impressive showing against Brighton.

Antoine Semenyo continued his impressive performances by setting up Alex Scott for the opener after 18 minutes, but Kaoru Mitoma fired the visitors back on level terms three minutes after the break.

Semenyo then scored the winner from the penalty spot, after Evanilson was brought down by Jan Paul van Hecke on the hour mark for his fifth goal involvement, joint most in the Premier League this season.

Summary of the Premier League Standing after Round 4

Liverpool stays top with a perfect record, while Chelsea falls behind after their stalemate with Brentford. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bournemouth leapfrog them in the top five.

Everton and Sunderland are a point behind The Blues, while Manchester City, Fulham, and Newcastle United also climb up the standings with wins in their respective games.

Wolves remain without a point, Aston Villa remain without a goal, and both also make up the only sides yet to secure a win in the Premier League after four games into the season.
