Bukayo Saka scored a late penalty as Arsenal kept their perfect start in the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday.

Bruno Guimaraes opened the scoring in the 55th minute with a brilliant goal after David Raya had saved Enzo Le Fee’s penalty.

Saka then secured Arsenal’s fourth win in four matches with a penalty in stoppage time. This came after Sunderland’s Reinildo was sent off for bringing down Saka in the box.

This win keeps Mikel Arteta’s team at the top of the table with 12 points.

Aina helps Forest secure first win

Nigeria's Ola Aina played the whole match as Nottingham Forest grabbed their first league win of the season, beating Aston Villa 2-1.

Liam Delap put Forest in the lead before Alysson equalised for Villa. Igor Jesus scored late in the second half, giving Oliver Glasner his first Premier League win as Forest's manager.

Iwobi, Bassey earn first point

Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey played as Fulham drew 0-0 with Liverpool at Anfield, earning their first point of the season.

Fulham, who had lost their first three matches, frustrated Liverpool and had chances to win the game.

Liverpool struggled to create clear chances even though they had more possession. This left manager Alvaro Arbeloa with his first Premier League point since taking over.
