talkSPORT brings you all the latest updates from the Premier League and beyond.
After a midweek of Champions League action, the Premier League returned with a bang.
In the Merseyside derby, Liverpool saw Everton off 2-1 at Anfield, with Hugo Ekitike scoring the decisive goal.
The pressure on Graham Potter grows after West Ham lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace, while Tottenham Hotspur came from 2-0 down to seal a point against Brighton and Hove Albion.
And in the 5:30pm game, Manchester United and Chelsea ended with ten men in a chaotic encounter at Old Trafford that the hosts won 2-1.

The referee blows the final whistle, and Manchester United have won.
In the end, it was nowhere near as comfortable as it could have been.
Robert Sanchez was sent off after four minutes, and Bruno Fernandes scored soon after.
The lead was doubled when Casemiro headed home before he was sent off.
That set up a nervy second half, but despite having 72 per cent of the ball in the second half, they had two shots.
A Trevoh Chalobah header halved the deficit, but the Blues offered nothing after that.
It's a huge win for Ruben Amorim, but it tops off a bad week for Chelsea.

Seven minutes of stoppage time indicated at Old Trafford.
Since the goal, Chelsea haven't mustered even a shot at goal.
Increasingly, it is looking like taking off all of his attacking players was a strange choice from Enzo Maresca.

WE HAVE A GAME ON!
Well, we are in for a potentially tasty last ten minutes.
Reece James finds space on the right of the pitch.
He delivers a great cross into the box that is begging to be put away.
Trevoh Chalobah obliges by rising at the far post and powering home a header, though, he was totally unmarked.

Chelsea have the ball in the back of the net, but it's not going to count.
Reece James takes a corner that is flicked on at the near post.
Wesley Fofana is there on the goalkeeper, and he heads home, but he is way offside.
It proves to be his final contribution as Enzo Maresca makes his final two changes.
Malo Gusto and Tyrique George come on for Fofana and Marc Cucurella.
It means there will be no Old Trafford return for Alejandro Garnacho.

Andrey Santos gets a hand into the neck, and he hist the ground like a sack of spuds.
Many in the ground think it's a serious knee injury, given the way he collapses to the floor.
But it's clear that nothing has actually happened to him, and he is absolutely fine to continue.

Well, this is very interesting from Ruben Amorim.
He has taken off Benjamin Sesko.
Manuel Ugarte comes on for the striker, who endured a tricky first 45 minutes.
The game is delayed for a minute as well because the ball boy isn't in place.

Well, this won't go down well in west London!

Well, the second halves weren't quite as exciting, but still, we were served a treat of Premier League football.
At the Amex, it ended 2-2 between Brighton and Tottenham.
The hosts had a 2-0 lead through Yankuba Minteh and Yasin Ayari.
But Richarlison pulled one back before the end of the half before a Jan Paul van Hecke own goal secured a point for the Seagulls.
At the London Stadium, Graham Potter suffered another defeat as the pressure builds on the West Ham manager.
Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell scored the goals for the visitors that sealed the three points.
There was also a massive victory at Molineux for Leeds, who came from 1-0 down to beat Wolves 3-1.
That means it is five games, five defeats for the Old Gold.
And at Turf Moor, Ange Postecoglou is still waiting for his first win as Nottingham Forest manager after a 1-1 draw against Burnley.

Terrible news for Graham Potter.
The ball fell to the Englishman inside the box and he leathered a right-footed volley into the roof of the net.

Joe has gone for a well-earned break after that first 45 minutes, and I am here to take you through the remainder of the 3pm games.
It would be fair to say the first half was something else in terms of goals.
Let us hope for a cracking set of second halves as well.
