A dramatic Premier League Sunday saw Manchester City FC make a statement at Anfield, Crystal Palace FC spoil a managerial homecoming, and Hull City AFC and Everton FC share the spoils in a gripping round of fixtures.
Match Results
| Home Team | Score | Away Team |
|---|---|---|
 Crystal Palace | 3 - 1 |  Nottingham Forest |
 Hull City | 2 - 2 |  Everton |
 Liverpool | 0 - 3 |  Manchester City |
The headline clash of the day came at Anfield, where Manchester City FC produced a masterclass to dismantle Liverpool FC 3-0. With goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki, City underlined their status as title favorites, returning from the international break with a ruthless performance. Gianluigi Donnarumma’s fiery post-match confrontation with home fans added to the charged atmosphere, while Liverpool FC captain Virgil van Dijk cut a subdued figure as he addressed the media following a difficult afternoon for Jürgen Klopp’s side.
At Selhurst Park, there was no shortage of drama as Crystal Palace FC came from behind to defeat Nottingham Forest FC 3-1. The match was particularly significant for Forest boss Oliver Glasner, who was making his first trip back to Palace after his off-season switch. Dan Ndoye gave the visitors a dream start, but Palace grew into the match, punishing Forest’s defensive lapses and taking control with three unanswered goals. The home crowd relished the occasion, taunting their former manager and celebrating a victory that strengthens Palace’s position in the league while leaving Forest to rue missed chances.
Meanwhile, at the MKM Stadium, Hull City AFC and Everton FC played out a breathless 2-2 draw. Joe Gelhardt put Hull in front shortly after halftime, only for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry to turn the tide in Everton’s favor. Substitute Mohamed Belloumi rescued a point for the hosts, extending Everton’s unbeaten start to the campaign but leaving manager David Moyes frustrated at the lack of an away win. Hull’s search for a victory now stretches to four matches, adding to the pressure on the squad.
Individual performances stood out across the fixtures: Erling Haaland’s clinical finishing and Doku’s creative spark powered City, while Palace’s collective response to early adversity highlighted their resilience. The day’s action also underscored emerging storylines, from Everton’s off-field uncertainty with a potential sale looming, to the emotional return of Glasner to Selhurst Park and the bubbling rivalry between Palace and Forest after last season’s European qualification drama.
As the Premier League season gathers pace, Sunday’s results bring fresh intrigue to the title race, European ambitions, and the early battles for stability and momentum across the table.
