In the opening ten matches of the English Premier League, the Red Devils (Manchester United) were the only major club to drop all three points and suffer a two-goal deficit.
In the Friday fixture that opened the season, Arsenal thrashed their opponents Coventry 3-0, allowing them to climb to the top of the league table right on the first day.
Then, on Saturday, Hull City stunned Manchester United, putting two goals past them. This happened right after Manchester United fans had been boasting about topping the table that day only to find themselves sitting in 19th place.
After the Manchester United game, Brighton knocked Arsenal down to second place, taking the number one spot on the table after thrashing Aston Villa 4-0. The result shocked Premier League viewers, especially considering how brilliantly Aston Villa performed last season.
Eventually, Manchester City narrowly escaped with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, while Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw with Newcastle United. Chelsea closed out the matchweek on Monday, also narrowly securing 3 points against Fulham in a game that ended 2-1.
This leaves Brighton sitting at number 1 at the top of the table, with Arsenal in 2nd place, and Brentford in 3rd. Meanwhile, Coventry, Tottenham, and Aston Villa find themselves in the 18th, 19th, and 20th positions respectively after the opening round of the Premier League.
