The English Premier League wrapped up its third weekend of action on Sunday, Sept. 6.<\/p>\n
Manchester City and Arsenal are tied at the top of the table with a perfect nine points from three games; Fulham and Coventry City remain glued to the bottom with zero points apiece.<\/p>\n
Here are the key storylines from a busy weekend of EPL action.<\/p>\n
Bournemouth<\/a> was one of the biggest surprises of the 2025-26 Premier League season. Under coach Andoni Iraola, the Cherries held their nerve against tough opponents and finished sixth in the table against the odds. Losing Iraola to Liverpool for 2026-27 was always going to throw Bournemouth off its rhythm, but the foundations of his team are still there\u2014so it’s strange to watch it fall victim to a trend that never plagued it under his care.<\/p>\n That trend? Scoring first and throwing matches away. Bournemouth has led all three of its Premier League fixtures this season but it hasn’t managed to win a single one of them. This weekend’s indignity, an 88th-minute equalizer from Newcastle’s Jacob Ramsey to seal the game at 2-2, was the club’s third straight points-losing concession to occur in the dying seconds of the game after Everton equalized in stoppage time during Matchday 2 and Manchester City won in stoppage time during Matchday 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Sometimes you have phases where things like these happen,”\u00a0Bournemouth coach Marco Rose<\/a> said, via BBC Sport. “We should go for our first win the Premier League to calm down this kind of talks.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
