Just like how an award winning movie script would have had it, Cristiano Ronaldo scored two important goals on his return for Manchester United. Elsewhere, the table toppers at the end of MD3 suffered a demoralising 3 - 0 defeat to Crystal Palace as debutant Odsonne Edouard scored twice as well. Wins for Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal (their first of the season) and Liverpool followed, but the latter would be overshadowed by a nasty injury to Harvey Elliott.
