Premier League’s Matchday 4 was a weekend full of surprises and upsets, as it threw up results hardly anyone could have predicted.

Here is a look at the Premier League highlights from Matchday 4 and the Premier League results round-up.
Man United vs Tottenham highlights reel
In one of the most shocking results in recent times, Manchester United lost 6-1 at home to Tottenham. The Red Devils began the game on top, winning a penalty in the first minute which was duly converted by Bruno Fernandes. However, as the Man United vs Tottenham highlights reel showed, it all went downhill thereon.
Jose Mourinho’s men took advantage of some shambolic Man United defending to run riot, as they scored six past their Premier League rivals. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s misery was further compounded after Anthony Martial was sent off in the first half, with the manager calling the game the worst day of his Man United career.
Aston Villa vs Liverpool highlights and recap
While the Man United vs Tottenham game was surprising to viewers, it was the Aston Villa vs Liverpool game which threw up the biggest shock. Aston Villa thoroughly outplayed the defending champions at home, as they defeated Liverpool 7-2. A first-half Ollie Watkins hat-trick and a superb all-round performance from Jack Grealish meant that Liverpool became the first reigning English top-flight champions to ship seven goals since Arsenal in 1953.
