The highly-anticipated Chelsea vs Man United clash brought tons of drama, as the Blues scored an equalizer with the final kick to earn a 2-2 draw. Here are the standout stats from the weekend action.
Three teams remain undefeated
Both Man City and Liverpool won over the weekend, while Ross Barkley's last-gasp equalizer kept Chelsea's unbeaten run intact. This means three teams are yet to lose after nine games for only the third time in the Premier League's history, and the first since 1990-91.
Salah ends goal drought and reaches goalscoring feat
Much has been said about Mohamed Salah struggles in front of goal, with the Egyptian having gone four games without scoring. That drought came to an end on Saturday as he scored the winner against Huddersfield, reaching a half-century of goals in English football with that strike.
Mohamed Salah has now scored 50 goals across all competitions in English football:

Ryan Sessegnon makes history
Do you feel old? If you don't, you might now after reading the record Ryan Sessegnon set on Saturday. The Fulham youngster became the first player born after 2000 to score a Premier League goal, netting in the 4-2 loss to Cardiff.

Tottenham's London Derby reign continues
The 1-0 win over West Ham wasn't pretty, but it helped Pochettino's men reach a club record. They are now on five straight wins in London derbies, a first for Tottenham.

Newcastle hits a new low
Things have gone from bad to worse for Newcastle. Their 1-0 St. James' Park defeat to Brighton means they have lost all of their opening five home games this season. This has happened only three times before.
4 - Newcastle are only the fourth team in English top-flight history to lose their opening five home league games of the season (Man Utd 1930-31, Portsmouth 2009-10 and Bolton 2011-12). Struggles. #NEWBRI

And that one remaining fixture - Arsenal vs Leicester
This clash should be interesting. Not only is Arsenal unbeaten in their last six English top-flight games, but they have never lost at home in the Premier League against Leicester. That run will be tested on Monday. Tune in to find out who'll emerge victorious.
