Super News Football | Premier League | Wins for Liverpool and City

Let's have a closer look at what happened.

Burnley 0 - 1 Liverpool

Super Local Sports News was at Turf Moor as Liverpool once again left it late as Mohamed Salah’s stoppage-time penalty preserved their perfect start to the Premier League season and denied Burnley a hard-earned point.

The hosts had looked on course to frustrate the champions until substitute Hannibal handled Jeremie Frimpong’s cross deep into added time, giving Salah the chance to lash home in front of the jubilant away end.

The Egyptian’s winner arrived just as Burnley seemed set to become the first side to take points off Arne Slot’s side this campaign. The Liverpool manager opted to leave £125m record signing Alexander Isak out of the squad as the striker builds fitness, but his team instead found themselves battling against a wall of claret resistance.

Manchester City 3 - 0 Manchester United

GM Super News was the Etihad Stadium on Manchester Derby Day. Despite not being at their best, City eased past struggling rivals Manchester United as pressure starts to build on the United boss.

Phil Foden opened the scoring before Erling Haaland struck twice to seal victory. Pep Guardiola’s side had entered the derby on the back of two successive defeats before the international break, but they responded convincingly through two players who have made a habit of punishing United.

Bethany L told GM Super News: "Great win, but we’ve still got issues to fix. We were off the pace, even against Arsenal, let alone Liverpool. Our new keeper is brilliant, and the attack looked sharp, but the midfield struggled at times."

Celtic 2 - 0 Braga Celtic suffered further European disappointment as goals in each half and a controversial disallowed equaliser earned Braga victory in what was a chaotic encounter. Author |  Sean M Stadium |  Celtic Park Kick-off Kasper Schmeichel had an error-strewn game in goal and failed to keep out Ricardo Horta 's early long-range effort, which stunned the Celtic Park crowd into silence. The Dane then did well to keep out a late shot but was helpless when the ball bounced off Gabri Martinez in a botched clearance and rebounded into the net to seal all the points. After their Champions League qualification failure against Kairat Almaty , and an opening Europa League draw with Red Star Belgrade , this continued Celtic's disappointing start to their European campaign. In fact, so sharp has been the drop-off since last season, that Brendan Rodgers ' side may struggle to qualify for the latter stages of the Europa League unless they can find their way again, and q...

Chelsea 1 - 0 Benfica  A much-needed win for Chelsea as they picked up their first points of their Champions League campaign. Author |  Lauren W Stadium | Stamford Bridge  View from the stands José Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge ended in disappointment as Chelsea edged past his new club Benfica with a narrow Champions League win sealed by Richard Rios ’ first-half own goal.  The affection from the home crowd was evident, with Mourinho serenaded throughout and responding with waves to both ends of the ground, but the evening turned on a moment of misfortune when the Colombian midfielder diverted Alejandro Garnacho ’s driven cross beyond his own goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin . Chelsea, however, did little to convince despite the victory. Garnacho spurned chances on his second start and teenage substitute Estevão Willian forced only a late save from Trubin, while João Pedro ’s stoppage-time dismissal for a second booking made it three red cards in four matches ...
