ADRIAN DENNIS/ AFP

Liverpool will head into the international break top of the Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace before champions Manchester City and Arsenal both recovered from going behind to claim home wins on Saturday.

Diogo Jota's early goal was enough for Liverpool to maintain their impressive start under new manager Arne Slot who has six wins from his opening seven Premier League games in charge.

Liverpool have 18 points with City and Arsenal on 17.

City trailed at home to Fulham but Mateo Kovacic's double ensured a 3-2 win. Arsenal were also in trouble against winless Southampton but Kai Havertz scored his sixth goal of the season before Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka sealed a 3-1 victory.

Newcastle United missed the chance to move into the top four as they drew 0-0 at Everton - former Everton player Anthony Gordon having a penalty saved by Jordan Pickford.

Leicester City posted their first Premier League win since gaining promotion, beating Bournemouth 1-0 with a goal by Argentine Facundo Buonanotte.

Brentford maintained their incredible habit of scoring early goals as they beat bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-3 to pile more pressure on Wolves manager Gary O'Neil.

Unlike their previous three Premier League games when they scored inside the first minute, this time it took Brentford 76 seconds of an incredible six-goal first half in west London to go ahead with a Nathan Collins header.

West Ham United got their first home league win of the season as they beat promoted Ipswich Town 4-1.
