Summary

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Jay Harris and Adrian Clarke for company, reacting to an enthralling Matchday 5 in the Premier League.

Man City were seconds away from a victory at the Emirates in a distinctly un-Pep performance before Gabriel Martinelli struck to make it 1-1. But champions Liverpool go 5 points clear after their Merseyside derby win on Saturday. Is Ryan Gravenberch the player of the season so far?

Elsewhere Wolves are rock bottom with no points, Villa scored but couldn't beat 10-man Sunderland and Chelsea's bad run at Old Trafford continued.

And we pay tribute to Oliver Glasner’s Eagles who beat hapless West Ham to make it 17 games unbeaten.

Produced by Charlie Jones
