It happened this season too - Liverpool didn't win, didn't even win a point without losing in the way they've been demolishing their rivals so far.

The Reds lost at Selhurst Park to Crystal Palace (2:1), which thus remains the only undefeated team in the Premier League so far, and is also the only team to have defeated the current champion.

Liverpool have two defeats, the first of which came in the Community Shield - also against Palace...

What was happening in London?

The home team dominated the first half and took the lead in the 9th minute when Ismaila Sar scored.

Oliver Glazner's team could have led 2:0 or 3:0 in the first half, and Liverpool would have tried in every way to turn the game around.

Aleksander Isak had a girlfriend before he Federico Chiesa, who replaced Florijan Virc, equalized in the 87th minute.

Liverpool had a point in their pocket at the time, they wanted all three, and they were left with nothing. because Edi Enketia took advantage of a waste in the penalty area in the 97th minute and checked Alisson Becker.

Manchester City, on the other hand, justified their role as favorites - they outclassed Burnley 5:1, but it wasn't that simple.

The "citizens" took the lead with an own goal by Maxim Esteve, but Jadon Anthony equalized before the break.

However, later City were left wondering - Mateus Nunes scored and assisted when Esteve checked his own goalkeeper for the second time, and Erling Haaland scored twice in the final minutes.

Chelsea failed, even though they were ahead for a long time against Brighton thanks to a goal from Enzo Fernandes.

Everything changed at Stamford Bridge when Trevor Šaloba was sent off in the 53rd minute - by the end his team had conceded three goals for 1:3. Danny Welbeck and Maxime de Kuyper scored twice.
