EPL: Villa Stun United, City Ends Chelsea's Unbeaten, Brentford Tame Liverpool By Omolagba Oluwayemi A weekend to remember for Bruno Fernandes after he missed a late penalty as Aston Villa stunned Manchester United at Old Trafford, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Kortney Hause had put Villa ahead with a powerful header two minutes from the end of normal time before the defender handled inside the box to present Manchester United with a lifeline. However, Fernandes blazed high over the bar in front of the Stretford End as United's unbeaten start to the Premier League season came to an end. Manchester City produced an impressive display to end Chelsea's unbeaten start to the season with a deserved victory at Stamford Bridge. In the meeting between two sides fully expected to fight it out for this season's Premier League title, the reigning champions dominated against a strangely passive and conservative Chelsea. Gabriel Jesus settled a tight affair when his 53rd-minute effort took a touch off Jorginho to beat Chelsea keeper Edouard Mendy - but few could question City's right to the win against the team who beat them in last May's Champions League final, and the victory margin should have been far more emphatic. Jesus almost added a second when Thiago Silva cleared his effort off the line while Aymeric Laporte should have scored but somehow slid a shot wide from inside the six-yard box. Mendy also produced two crucial saves from the excellent Jack Grealish. Yoane Wissa scored a late equaliser as Brentford held Liverpool to a draw in a thrilling encounter at the Brentford Community Stadium. Wissa's dinked finish over Alisson rescued a point for the hosts, who matched Jurgen Klopp's team for long spells and created enough opportunities to claim all three points. Ethan Pinnock had given Thomas Frank's side a deserved early lead, poking home from close range after Ivan Toney flicked Sergi Canos' low cross into the defender's path. Diogo Jota brought the visitors level just three minutes later, rising unmarked to head Jordan Henderson's looping cross into the corner from the edge of the six-yard box. Mohamed Salah's 100th Premier League goal for Liverpool put the Reds ahead for the first time in the match, only for Vitaly Janelt to equalise once more after Pontus Jansson had rattled the crossbar. Curtis Jones restored the visitors' lead with a long-range drive that took a wicked deflection off Kristoffer Ajer on its way in, but Brentford - and Wissa - had the last word. The draw lifts unbeaten Liverpool a point clear at the top of the Premier League, with the Bees climbing to ninth. Michail Antonio's 90th-minute winner left Leeds still searching for a first Premier League win of the season as they were beaten by West Ham at Elland Road. In a match that saw 35 attempts on goal, Marcelo Bielsa's side had the better chances in the first half but the visitors grew into the game as excitement turned to nerves among the home fans in a cagey encounter. Raphinha had opened the scoring for Leeds on 19 minutes with a clinical low finish from outside the area. West Ham thought they had equalised eight minutes into the second half, but Tomas Soucek's effort was ruled out after referee Kevin Friend checked the pitchside monitor and spotted an Antonio foul on goalkeeper Illan Meslier. The Hammers eventually found a way through when Jarrod Bowen's shot from inside the box deflected off Junior Firpo and into the back of the net. In the first minute of injury time, Leeds were caught out on the counter-attack as Antonio knocked the ball past defender Jamie Shackleton before sliding in the winner to push the hosts into the bottom three.
