Manchester City remain top of the Premier League as a late goal from John Stones saved their unbeaten start to the season in a 2-2 draw at home to Arsenal on Sunday.

Stones poked home following a scramble in the 98th minute when it looked as if Arsenal would hold on for a win after playing with 10 men for the entire second half following Leandro Trossard's red card at the end of first half injury time.

Erling Haaland continued his incredible goalscoring run when he scored from Savinho's pass, but Riccardo Calafiori leveled in the 22nd minute with a glorious finish after an assist from Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Magalhaes put Arsenal ahead in first half injury time.

Trossard was sent off before the break for kicking the ball away after being penalized for a foul, when he already had a yellow card.

Pep Guardiola's side laid siege to the Arsenal goal and the pressure increased as time passed, but it looked as if Arsenal would hold on until Stones' late effort.

Brighton and Nottingham Forest remain unbeaten as they drew 2-2 with Chris Wood's penalty putting Forest ahead before quick-fire goals from Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck at the end of the first half gave Brighton a lead, which was canceled out by Ramon Sosa 20 minutes from time.

Liverpool move second after they registered a 3-0 win at home to Bournemouth before halftime on Saturday, with two goals from Luis Diaz after 26 and 28 minutes and Darwin Nunez's 37th-minute strike leaving everything resolved.
