Summary
Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Jon Mackenzie bring you red-hot analysis of a remarkable against-all-odds Premier League weekend.
Darwin Nuñez inspired Liverpool to an unlikely win from a man down and a goal down at Newcastle. Did Eddie Howe get it wrong with his substitutions? And how good is Anthony Gordon going to be this season?
West Ham upset Brighton at the Amex in a classic example of Moyes-ball. But how will they integrate Mohammed Kudus?
Arsenal throw away two points against 10-man Fulham. Hear why Kai Havertz is bearing the brunt of the fan fury. And things get bleaker for Everton in their defeat at home to Wolves.
Plus Man United chaos, the Rubiales saga and Robbie’s ode to Ange.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
