Aston Villa stun Chelsea; Spurs draw at Arsenal, 10-man Chelsea in the Premier LeagueLONDON: A 73rd-minute strike by Ollie Watkins earned Aston Villa all three points at goal-starved, 10-man Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.

Watkins tore through the home defence on the counter and angled his shot deftly through Chelsea keeper Robert Sanchez's legs before it bounced in off the far post.

Chelsea had been in charge for most of the match, with Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson finding space behind the defenders.

Villa moved up a place to sixth in the table with the win, while Chelsea, in their worst start to a season for more than 40 years, stayed 14th.

Harry Kane may have departed but Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min stepped into the breach with a brace to earn his side a 2-2 draw at Arsenal as the visitors twice came from behind in an absorbing derby on Sunday.

Cristian Romero's own goal after 26 minutes handed Arsenal the lead but Son equalized with a deft finish shortly before halftime as the visitors grew into the game.

The unfortunate Romero then conceded a penalty that was converted by Bukayo Saka in the 54th minute.

But Son again rescued his side with an immediate response as he punished a mistake by Arsenal substitute Jorginho.

A draw was just about the fair result as both sides remained undefeated in the league this season with 14 points from six games, although both dropped down in the table.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez netted a brilliant goal as his side romped to a 3-1 win over a dogged West Ham United side at Anfield, deftly steering home a volley on the hour mark.

Substitute Kaoru Mitoma made an instant impact off the bench as Brighton & Hove Albion came from behind to beat Bournemouth 3-1 at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, with Roberto de Zerbi's side climbing up to third place in the Premier League. Agencies
