## Summary

The Guardian rounds up ten talking points from the latest Premier League weekend, spotlighting individual performances and managerial pressures across several fixtures. Highlights include Jack Grealish's energetic return on loan at Everton in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United, Arsenal's comeback win over Chelsea driven by new signings Christos Tzolis and Martin Ødegaard, and Bournemouth's Alex Scott outclassing Newcastle in a game that finished 2-2 despite his side dominating.

Fulham's troubles deepen after a third straight defeat, this time 2-1 (via a late winner) to Crystal Palace, a start that has historically preceded relegation for the club; manager Álvaro Arbeloa faces further tests against Liverpool and Manchester United. Elsewhere, Liverpool impressed in a Friday fixture with Alexander Isak scoring twice, both assisted by Cody Gakpo, who chose to stay at the club despite reported interest from Manchester City and Tottenham during the transfer window.
