Chelsea’s Jackson scores
Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 win at West Ham, while Aston Villa are level on points at the top after coming from behind to beat Wolves 3-1. The victory meant that Chelsea continued their positive start under Enzo Maresca as Jackson put a woeful West Ham to the sword at the London Stadium.

Liverpool suffered the first setback of Arne Slot’s early days in charge when Nottingham Forest shocked Anfield seven days ago. But the Reds responded in style to blow Bournemouth away before half-time. Luis Diaz was rested for an impressive 3-1 win at AC Milan to start Liverpool’s Champions League campaign in midweek. Restored to the starting line-up, the Colombian struck twice inside two minutes. Diaz pounced on a misjudgement from Kepa Arrizabalaga to latch onto Ibrahima Konate’s long ball and round the stranded Spanish goalkeeper before sweeping into an empty net. Trent Alexander-Arnold then teed up Diaz to fire in his fifth goal of the season. Darwin Nunez ended his 14-game goal drought at club level in spectacular
fashion by curling into the far corner.
City, Villa are joint second
A three-goal margin of victory takes Liverpool ahead of Manchester City and Aston Villa, who also have 12 points, on goal difference.
