By the numbers: The best stats from the third matchday in the EPL

## Liverpool's First Win Under Iraola Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town, marking Andoni Iraola's first win as their manager. The team has maintained an unbeaten record at Portman Road, with four wins and two draws.

## Bournemouth's Unlucky Streak Bournemouth made history by scoring first in their opening three matches without securing a win. They drew 2-2 with Newcastle United, who managed to avoid defeat after trailing by two goals, a feat they hadn't achieved since March 2024.

## Haaland's Milestone Erling Haaland netted his 300th club goal, leading Manchester City to a 1-0 win over Coventry City. He also set a club record for headed goals in the Premier League.

## Tottenham's Goal Drought Tottenham Hotspur failed to score in their first three matches, a situation not seen since the 1974-75 season. They also didn't manage a shot on target against Nottingham Forest.

## Hull City's Defensive Record Hull City joined an elite group of promoted teams by keeping clean sheets in their first three matches. Aston Villa, on the other hand, failed to score in their opening three games for the second consecutive season.

## Dramatic Finish for Everton Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored a last-minute equalizer for Everton against Manchester United, marking his second Premier League goal in 110 appearances.

## Arsenal's Strong Start Arsenal continued their unbeaten streak against Chelsea with a 2-1 victory. This marks the first time since the 2003/04 season that Arsenal has won their first three matches while conceding fewer than two goals. Chelsea, however, scored early in each of their first three games, a Premier League first.
