Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is already under scrutiny just two games into the Premier League season. Joao Pedro scored in injury time to give Brighton a 2-1 home win over United on Saturday, highlighting the persisting inconsistencies in Ten Hag's team from last season.

The defeat, marked by a ruled-out offside goal by Alejandro Garnacho, raises questions regarding Ten Hag's leadership. Meanwhile, title contenders Manchester City and Arsenal maintained their perfect starts with victories over Ipswich and Aston Villa respectively. City's Haaland scored his seventh Premier League hat trick in a decisive 4-1 win.

Everton's troubles continue under Sean Dyche following a heavy 4-0 defeat at Tottenham. Adding to the day's drama, West Ham's Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen rescued a ball boy trapped under a collapsed advertising screen during their 2-0 win against Crystal Palace.
