Elsewhere, Tottenham, Man United, and Arsenal all enjoyed wins. Here are the standout stats from the weekend action.

Guardiola's Man City is no longer unbeaten

Man City's unbeaten run is no longer. The reigning champion suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

This is the team's ninth defeat since Guardiola has taken over, and while nine losses may not be a bad record, the numbers highlight the Spaniard's struggles against Chelsea. They are his worst opponent in the English top-flight.

Arsenal leave it late... once again
Arsenal's clash with Huddersfield saw the least number of shots on target in a Premier League game since October 28, 2017.

Unai Emery's men got the job done, nonetheless, with Torreira scoring a late beauty to earn all three points.

This means no team has won more points in the last 10 minutes in the English top-flight this season than the Gunners.

Juan Mata reaches feat in 4-1 Fulham win
On Saturday, Man United marched to a 4-1 win over Fulham, with Juan Mata scoring a goal and setting up another in that victory.

This saw the diminutive midfielder join two Premier League stars as the only Spaniards to have 50+ goals and 50+ assists under his belt in the English top-flight.

Salah steals the show but it was a memorable game for Milner

In the 4-0 win over Bournemouth, Salah bagged a hat-trick to propel him to the top of the Golden Boot race.

However, it was a memorable game for James Milner, as he became the second-youngest player to make 500 appearances in the Premier League thanks to that game.

Tottenham's record start to the season continues

Tottenham traveled to Leicester over the weekend and earned a 2-0 victory. This result means their record start to the season keeps getting better.
