Leeds lead week four of a performance-based Premier League table after beating Newcastle 4-1. According to NY Times, teams are ranked only on their latest display.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin bullied Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw for a goal and an assist, with Noah Okafor also scoring. Daniel Farke’s trio Anton Stach, Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka smothered Newcastle.
Brighton blitzed Coventry 5-0, capped by Lewis Dunk’s 30-yard strike, and did it without Minteh, Mitoma and Rutter. Yalcouye and Kostoulas impressed, with Pascal Gross and Yasin Ayari on target.
At Old Trafford, Phil Foden’s 23rd-minute red card forced Enzo Maresca to recalibrate, withdrawing his creator and leaning on Ndiaye’s ball-carrying for a 1-0 win. Erling Haaland and Elliot Anderson epitomised City’s work-rate.
Arsenal won 2-0 at Sunderland the hard way. Raya saved Enzo Le Fee’s penalty, then Bruno Guimaraes scored from range moments after replacing Myles Lewis-Skelly, while Christos Tzolis showed fight.
Hull drew 2-2 at Chelsea and chased the winner, Mohamed Belloumi scoring twice to continue an eight-point start. Fulham’s shape improved in a 0-0 at Liverpool, Alex Iwobi bright and David Affengruber steady on debut.
Ipswich edged Crystal Palace 3-2 with Leif Davis starring, and Bournemouth and Brentford drew 2-2 as Kevin Schade netted twice. Spurs’ 0-0 with Everton reflected fragile confidence, while United, Coventry and Newcastle endured sobering outings. Sunderland’s Brian Brobbey led the line superbly.
