Nicolas Jackson scored twice as Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 win at West Ham, while Aston Villa matched Liverpool on points after coming from behind to defeat Wolves 3-1.
Liverpool faced their first setback under Arne Slot’s management when Nottingham Forest stunned them at Anfield seven days ago. However, the Reds responded emphatically, overwhelming Bournemouth before half-time.
Luis Diaz was rested for Liverpool’s impressive 3-1 win at AC Milan to kick off their Champions League campaign midweek. Returning to the starting line-up, the Colombian struck twice within two minutes.
Diaz capitalised on a mistake from Kepa Arrizabalaga, collecting Ibrahima Konaté’s long ball, rounding the stranded Spanish goalkeeper, and sweeping into an empty net.
Trent Alexander-Arnold then set up Diaz to net his fifth goal of the season.
