All but one game has been played in Matchweek 2 of the Premier League. The latest round of the English top-flight treated fans to some thrilling games and one shocking result.
Arsenal's trip to Chelsea was the most anticipated and it did not disappoint, as it turned into a five-goal thriller with the Blues winning 3-2. Defending champion Man City enjoyed a huge 6-1 victory over Huddersfield, but the standout tie on Sunday was Man United's expected 3-2 defeat at Brighton.
Only one match remains: Crystal Palace vs Liverpool. Here are the top stats from the weekend action ahead of Monday's Selhurst Park showdown.
Aguero moves closer to EPL record with Huddersfield hat-trick
Sunday's huge win at home to Huddersfield saw Man City's Sergio Aguero bag an impressive hat-trick. Not only did his three-goal haul propel him to the top of the goalscorers' chart, tied with Richarlison, but he moved closer to a Premier League record.
Having registered his 9th hat-trick in the English top-flight, he is now only two short of equaling Alan Shearer's record of most Premier League hat-trick (11).
Even Ederson got in on the fun in the 6-1 win

Kenedy's awful first half vs Cardiff
0 - Kenedy failed to complete a single pass in the first half against Cardiff City - he is the first outfield Premier League player to fail to complete a single pass in 45+ minutes of play since Nikola Kalinic against Birmingham City in March 2010. Passenger. pic.twitter.com/6EZbhRNI9B

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool – will Zaha make history in Monday's game?
In the opening round of this season, Wilfried Zaha became Crystal Palace's all-time joint-top scorer in the Premier League with 23 goals. The winger could make that title his very own should he score past Alisson on Monday.
Liverpool would not want to let that happen. Keeping a clean sheet would make winning a lot easier, given that they are keen on keeping pace with Man City and Chelsea, who top the standings with six points each.
