Man City shocked by Wolves, Man Utd beaten by Crystal Palace

MANCHESTER, UK: Manchester City’s perfect start to the Premier League season came undone in a shock 2-1 loss to Wolves, as Manchester United slumped to a 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday. Arsenal closed to within a point of the lead by cruising to a 4-0 win at Bournemouth, while Aston Villa thrashed Brighton 6-1 to move into the top four. City had won the opening six games of their title defense as they aim to become the first side to ever claim four consecutive English top-flight titles. By contrast, Wolves had taken just four points from their first six games but stunned the champions at Molineux. Ruben Dias’ own goal put the home side in front, but City responded after the break through Julian Alvarez’s free-kick. Wolves, though, were a constant threat on the counter-attack and got their reward when Hwang Hee-Chan swept home at the second attempt 25 minutes from time.

Defeat sees United slip to 10th in the table. Arsenal moved up to second as Mikel Arteta’s men eased to victory at Bournemouth. Bukayo Saka had been an injury doubt, but headed into an empty net to open the scoring on his 87th consecutive Premier League appearance. Saka could have

Luton get their first Premier League victory by beating Everton 2-1

LIVERPOOL, England: Luton earned their first Premier League win after scoring two first-half goals and hanging on for a 2-1 victory at Everton on Saturday. Tom Lockyer and Carlton Morris scored seven minutes apart at Goodison Park before Dominic Calvert-Lewin cut the lead in half shortly before the break. Beto missed two chances to equalize for Everton by sending headers over the crossbar — first in the 75th and again in the 86th. A week ago, Luton secured their first point in a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton after having lost their first four games of the season — its first-ever in the Premier League. Luton last played in England’s top division in 1991-92 — the season before it was rebranded as the Premier League. The visitors outhustled Toffee defenders on both goals. Lockyer was first to a rebound off the crossbar to poke home in the 24th.
