Manchester United suffered a 3-0 home loss against Bournemouth at Old Trafford, marking their eighth consecutive defeat in all competitions. Coach Michael Carrick faced scrutiny for benching captain Bruno Fernandes and forward Matheus Cunha, which may have contributed to the team's poor performance. Bournemouth took an early lead through Rayan Tavernier and Marcus Tavernier in the first half, with Evanilson scoring the decisive goal in the second half.
These errors from United's players, particularly the defense, resulted in their first winless streak since 2013 and a drop to 16th position in the EPL with just seven points.
In contrast, Liverpool secured their first home league win of the season by defeating Brighton 2-0 at Anfield. Goals from Pascal Gross and Alexander Isak helped Andoni Iraola's side move up to fourth position with 15 points from eight matches.
