United were cruising after an hour thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha, who broke his 16-match scoring drought by netting for the first time for his new club, Casemiro's deflected effort and Mbeumo's neat finish. But Danny Welbeck's brilliant free-kick pulled one back against his old club with 16 minutes left. Then, two minutes into the seven added, Charalampos Kostoulas flicked home a near-post header. Suddenly there were some worried faces in the United ranks and it took an even later effort from Mbeumo, drilled into the roof of the net from 12 yards, to ease the tension. They may only stay there for a matter of hours but United suddenly find themselves in a much better state than three weeks ago, when it was felt by many a home defeat by Sunderland would have left head coach Ruben Amorim clinging to his job. Now there is a hint of swagger about Amorim's team, who should have won by more and certainly with no need for the worries at the end. Cunha's first goal for club or country since April was superb, taking Casemiro's short pass on the edge of the area before curling an inch-perfect low shot into the bottom corner. Casemiro benefitted from a huge slice of luck for the second when his shot, which might have been off target, struck Yasin Ayari on the back, completely wrong-footing Bart Verbruggen as it flew into the opposite corner. Verbruggen denied Benjamin Sesko and Bruno Fernandes, who was making his 300th United appearance, before Mbeumo followed his goal at Liverpool by driving home his third of the season after an hour. Welbeck's brilliant free-kick followed a Patrick Dorgu foul on Yankuba Minteh the Brighton bench were adamant should have resulted in a red card. Referee Anthony Taylor gave a yellow, video assistant referee (VAR) Michael Oliver agreed. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't. As it turned out, Brighton scored again anyway. But so did United, who took the points - again.

The result lifted Daniel Farke's men up to 13th in the table, while the visitors remain second bottom after a seventh loss in nine league games. Brenden Aaronson set the hosts on their way inside three minutes and by the time Joe Rodon headed a second with just over 14 minutes on the clock, it was the earliest Leeds had held a two-goal advantage in the English top flight since April 2004. Both followed some shambolic defending from the Hammers, with Ollie Scarles and Aaron Wan-Bissaka culpable for the first as American winger Aaronson stole in to finish after Noah Okafor's header had been saved. Jean-Clair Todibo was then caught out as Wales international Rodon was given a free run to attack a corner from Sean Longstaff. Nuno Espirito Santo's side played in front of thousands of empty seats in their loss to Brentford on Monday at the London Stadium, as supporters protested against the club's board. And their disgruntled fans that made the journey to Yorkshire had little to cheer yet again aside from a 90th-minute consolation from Mateus Fernandes as their side slipped to a third consecutive defeat in their worst start to a top-flight season since 1973-74. Nuno remains without a win after four games in charge since replacing Graham Potter. A miserable evening for his side was compounded by an injury to teenage defender Scarles, while Lucas Paqueta had an effort disallowed for offside following a video assistant referee (VAR) review - both incidents combining to add 13 minutes of injury time to the first period.

The spot-kicks earned Forest their first win since their Premier League opener in August, a first clean sheet since April and Dyche a debut victory following his appointment on Tuesday. It has been a chaotic opening few months of the season for Forest after Ange Postecoglou was sacked on Saturday, just 39 days after replacing Nuno Espirito Santo. While it was not instant calm amid the chaos at a boisterous City Ground, Dyche had restored belief and organisation before Gibbs-White scored from the spot on 19 minutes following Jan Bednarek's handball. The hosts looked far more comfortable and compact than during Postecoglou's brief reign and Callum Hudson-Odoi tested goalkeeper Diogo Costa, while Matz Sels also saved Alan Varela's 25-yard drive. Jesus added a second from the spot with 13 minutes left, referee Radu Petrescu awarding the penalty after consulting his monitor having initially booked Nicolo Savona for diving under Martim Fernandes' challenge. It meant Porto slipped to their first defeat of the season - the visitors had previously won 10 of their opening 11 games - not helped by having Bednarek's second-half effort ruled out by VAR for offside.

Celtic staged an admirable second-half comeback to earn their first Europa League win of the campaign to see off 10-man Sturm Graz. Liam Scales and Benjamin Nygren struck within three minutes of each other as Brendan Rodgers' side clicked into gear in front of an appreciative Celtic Park crowd. The defending Scottish champions came into this under pressure, having taken just one point from their opening two fixtures in this competition and on the back of a league defeat to Dundee on Sunday. With challenging away ties to follow next month against Midtjylland and Feyenoord, three points seemed vital to get a foothold in the group phase table. Within a couple of minutes of kick off, Celtic suffered another blow as they lost lost Kelechi Iheanacho to injury. It seemed that might set the tone.

Crystal Palace's first home match in a major European competition proper ended in disappointment with a shock Conference League loss to AEK Larnaca at Selhurst Park. The Cypriot Cup winners struck in the 51st minute when Eagles defender Jaydee Canvot gave the ball straight to Marcus Rohden who teed up Riad Bajic to find the net with a powerful finish. In front of an expectant crowd, Palace had been dominating up to that point and striker Jean-Philippe Mateta hit the crossbar with a bouncing hooked volley from close range in the first half. The Frenchman also narrowly headed a free-kick wide just before the break and was denied by keeper Zlatan Alomerovic's stunning save from point-blank range in the 70th minute. Substitute Eddie Nketiah should have levelled in a late rally from the hosts, but completely missed a loose ball from five yards out. Palace, who had a strong starting XI, finished on top but were unable to break down Larnaca's resilient defence as they suffered a first home defeat in all competitions since February. While Oliver Glasner's side are 16th in the table on three points, a second win in the competition for the visitors moved them joint top with Fiorentina.
