Story of the Weekend: Arsenal's Run Ends at Brighton
Arsenal arrived at the Amex chasing a tenth straight league win and the division's meanest defensive record, having conceded only 2.7 expected goals across their opening four matches. Brighton had other ideas, racing into a 2-0 half-time lead and closing it out 3-0 to hand Mikel Arteta's side their first defeat of the season. It's a result that resets the conversation at the top of the table heading into the international break, and a reminder of how quickly form can turn in the Premier League.

Manchester City 5-3 Sunderland: Haaland Breaks His Duck
The weekend's highest-scoring game lived up to its billing, with Manchester City edging a seven-goal thriller at the Etihad. The result carried extra significance for Erling Haaland, who had gone his entire Premier League career without scoring against Sunderland despite netting against every other side in the division — a run he finally ended in front of his own fans. City stayed unbeaten in the league so far this season, but Sunderland's attacking output, scoring three away from home against the champions-elect, will give Régis Le Bris plenty to build on before the break.
Liverpool End Their Draw Streak at Bournemouth
Liverpool had drawn three of their opening four league matches, their most draw-heavy start to a season since 2005/06, but a narrow 1-0 win at the Vitality Stadium got Arne Slot's side back to winning ways at Andoni Iraola's expense on his first return to his old club. It wasn't a vintage attacking display, but three points is three points with a long international break now looming. Sportsbet.io's sports betting hub breaks down how match-result and goal markets are typically priced if you're following the Reds' form into the next round.
Elsewhere: Villa Win at Spurs, Coventry Off the Mark, Leeds Held
Aston Villa won a five-goal thriller of their own at Tottenham, coming from behind to win 3-2 and extend a miserable run for Spurs, who remain without a win through the opening five rounds. Coventry City picked up their first points of the season with a battling 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, a landmark result for a club that had lost all four of its opening matches since returning to the top flight. Leeds United and Crystal Palace played out a goalless draw that did little to separate two sides still unbeaten this season, while Newcastle saw off a spirited Hull City 2-1 and Everton edged Ipswich Town 1-0 to stay unbeaten themselves. Fulham and Manchester United shared the points in a 1-1 draw that leaves both sides still searching for their first win of the campaign.
What's Next in the Premier League
Matchweek 5 is followed by the season's first international break, a longer-than-usual 16-day pause before club football resumes in early October. It gives Arsenal a chance to regroup after their first defeat, Sunderland time to build on an encouraging attacking display, and both Tottenham and Fulham a window to address winless starts before the fixtures pile back up.

Betting Responsibly Through the Premier League Season
A full round of ten matches across a single weekend can make it easy to keep a bet running from Friday night through to Sunday evening. Treat results and form from any single matchweek as one data point among many, not a guaranteed signal for what comes next, and set your budget for the weekend before Friday's early kick-off rather than adjusting it as the round unfolds.
Account tools such as deposit limits, loss limits, and time-outs help keep a full weekend of fixtures within the budget you set for it — sportsbet.io's responsible gambling page lists how to set these up. Betting should stay entertainment across a 38-game season, not a way to chase back a loss from an earlier fixture in the same round.
