Last-minute drama, comeback wins, shock defeats, an unwanted record and a red card headloss.The Premier League is truly back.Arsenal kicked off their Premier League title defence with a 3-0 win over CoventryGettyIt has been a dramatic opening weekend of top-flight football, which has seen 25 goals scored across nine matches so far.What are the Premier League results so far this weekend?Champions Arsenal welcomed Championship winners Coventry for the first game of the new season on Friday night, with the Gunners easing to a 3-0 victory.While there was no surprise scoreline in north London, there certainly was in Yorkshire when newly-promoted Hull hosted Manchester United in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.The Red Devils were mauled by the Tigers – losing 2-0 at the MKM Stadium – their first defeat against Hull since 1974.And it was a winning start to the campaign for Ipswich Town in their first Premier League outing since being relegated in the 2024/25 term.They snatched a last-gasp win over Sunderland at Portman Road, while Everton beat Crystal Palace and Leeds overcome Nottingham Forest on the road.Brentford then bullied Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium – winning 3-0 in what is their first home victory over Spurs in 78 years.Moving onto Sunday, and Manchester City looked to be heading for their first opening day defeat since 2021 – and a second successive loss under Enzo Maresca following their Community Shield humbling.Bournemouth led 1-0 heading into the 84th minute at the Etihad, only for Marc Guehi to equalise, before Josko Gvardiol spared the Citizens’ blushes with a stoppage time strike that was awarded by VAR.Aston Villa‘s dreadful summer then went from bad to worse after they were thrashed 4-0 by Brighton on the south coast – their joint-heaviest opening Premier League defeat in history.Brighton sit top of the table after easily dispatching Villa at the Amex StadiumGettyWith all four goals shipped in by the 31st minute, it is the earliest any side has led 4-0 in an opening game since 2006, with new Villans signing Joao Gomes picking up a straight red card for a kick out on Georginio Rutter before the break to become the first player to be sent off on their Premier League debut since QPR’s Samba Diakite in February 2012.And completing Sunday’s fixtures was a four-goal thriller between Newcastle and Liverpool, which saw Dominik Szoboszlai rescue a point for the Reds with a dramatic penalty in the ninth minute of stoppage time.Fulham vs Chelsea rounds off the opening weekend at Craven Cottage on Monday night – live on talkSPORT – in a game which pits both of Real Madrid’s managers from last season against each other.With plenty to discuss from the weekend’s football, talkSPORT’s Sam Matterface, Alex Crook and Troy Deeney dissect the drama in our brand new Premier League All Access show.Picking out five heroes and three villains from the fixtures so far, here is what they had to say…Who are talkSPORT’s Premier League Heroes?Mamadou SangareThe Brentford summer signing had a debut to remember – chipping in with a first half assist against a Spurs midfield that included £100million recruit Sandro Tonali and £85m arrival Mateus Fernandes (for the second half).Sangare helped Brentford beat Tottenham at home for the first time since 1948GettyLauding the 24-year-old Mali international, Matterface said: “I think Mamadou Sangare, the Brentford midfielder, was the standout Premier League debutant of the weekend.“He looks like a proper midfield player, £80m-plus Brentford have signed [this window], he’s probably the best one for £39m.”Agreeing with Matterface, Crook then added: “I thought he had a terrific debut, he left Tonali in the shade.“It looks like another really smart piece of recruitment from Matthew Benham [club owner] and Brentford.”Konstantinos TzolakisThe Hull goalkeeper enjoyed another debut to remember, keeping a clean sheet against United – expertly denying Bryan Mbeumo in the second half with the score at 2-0.Lauding the Greek shot-stopper, Matterface remarked: “I’m going to go for Tzolakis, I thought he was a hero as well, the goalkeeper for Hull.Tzolakis will be looking to keep more clean sheets in his quest to help Hull avoid relegation this seasonGetty“He didn’t have to make too many saves, but he commanded his penalty in such an area, he gave the rest of his defence confidence.”Jack HinshelwoodThe Brighton midfielder helped himself to a first half double, with the 21-year-old already halving his total tally from last season to help his side go top on goal difference.Waxing lyrical over the Seagulls academy graduate, Deeney stated: “I’ll go Hinshelwood, I thought he was really good, he’s a really good player.“And he also carries that burden of being a local lad as well and all of that, so yeah I’ll go Hinshelwood.”Hinshelwood helped himself to a quickfire brace against a hapless VillaGettyJack Clarke/Gary O’NeilThe Ipswich winger curled home a late beauty against Sunderland, the club who sold him to the Tractor Boys in 2024.Despite being part of Ipswich’s last Premier League side, Clarke’s strike against the Black Cats was his first in England’s top-flight.Matterface said of the 25-year-old: “Jack Clarke, the Ipswich player who was a former Sunderland winger, who scored off the bench – an injury time winner.“It must have been great day for him.”Crook added: “It was a great day for [boss] Gary O’Neil as well, a lot of doubters about him, but obviously getting off to a winning start.”Clarke’s winner saw Ipswich win their first opening Premier League day game since 1993GettySergej JakirovicThe Hull boss guided the Tigers to an unlikely promotion last campaign, and despite his side being tipped to go straight back down, they outfought and outclassed a United team that will be competing in the Champions League.Crook said: “I’m going to put up – it’s a bit of a Hull love-in – but Sergej Jakirovic, I thought tactically spot-on.“I think he is a really astute manager, he’s agreed a new three-year contract, that should be announced this week.“He is going to be Hull’s trump card, he’s going to keep them up.“He’s a great guy, he came into the chairman’s lounge afterwards, I had both of my two lads with me, he shook both of their hands, a gentleman.”Jakirovic guided Hull to their first opening day top-flight victory in ten yearsGettyWho are talkSPORT’s Premier League Villains?Alexander IsakBooed with every touch and jeered with every misplaced pass and shot by the Newcastle faithful at St James’ Park, it wasn’t a happy return for the Liverpool striker.Winning just five of his nine duels and missing two big chances, Isak passed up the opportunity to take the late penalty.Nominating Isak, Matterface said: “Alexander Isak, the main villain at St James’ Park, we were there, they [fans] were on his case from the very beginning.“He was back for the first time since forcing his way out [last summer], big things expected this season, and you’re [Crook] still a bit cross that he didn’t take the penalty.”To which Crook remarked: “Yeah, I just think from a story point of view, whether he scored or missed, it would have been great for us.“But Szoboszlai is probably the designated penalty taker, and he stuck it away with aplomb.”Isak didn’t have his shooting boots on as he returned to his former stomping groundAFPLuke ShawThe United left-back had a torrid time in Yorkshire, while he was caught sleeping for Hull’s second, which saw Nobel Mendy head home Regan Slater’s free-kick.United fan Crook said: “I’ll chuck in Luke Shaw as a villain, honestly, he was so poor in that game.”To which Matterface then quipped: “You’ve been so cross [since United defeat], I’m going to have to take him out to a big market, that’s going to cheer you up!”Shaw was just one of a number of United players that failed to impress at the MKM StadiumGettyStuart AttwellThe Premier League referee officiated Newcastle and Liverpool’s thrilling draw, but controversially awarded the visitors a spot-kick for Lewis Hall’s foul on Victor Munoz.Commenting on the decision, Matterface said: “I know that it’s a penalty, OK, they’ve given the penalty, whatever.“But I actually think it’s a little bit too soft to be given as a penalty on the pitch.“And if it isn’t given, there’s no way that VAR gives it, I understand also that VAR isn’t going to overturn it, because it’s not a clear error.”Having his say, Crook stated: “No, but it wasn’t just that, I think there were four bookings in the first half, there wasn’t really a tackle in the game.“So I think he set the tone, and actually probably, he should have shown a second yellow card to Yoane Wissa for a pretty cynical challenge in the centre circle, so it was a poor day for one of the most experienced officials.”
