On a day of contrasting fortunes in the Premier League, Liverpool maintained their perfect start to the season with a resounding 3-1 win over Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday, August 24, 2019.

Mo Salah was the star of the show, scoring a stunning solo goal in the 59th minute after earlier converting a penalty to seal the win for the Reds.

Joel Matip opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 41st minute, heading home from Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner, and Salah's second goal sealed the win for the Reds.

However, Arsenal's hopes of a comeback were dashed when Lucas Torreira scored a late consolation goal in the 85th minute.

Manchester United suffered a shock home defeat against Crystal Palace, with Marcus Rashford missing a crucial penalty in the 2-2 draw.
