Getty ImagesPremier League — Latest scoresIt has been a day of draws in the Premier League as five of the seven games have ended in the points being shared.Manchester City and Crystal Palace were the only teams to win from the six earlier matches, both winning by the odd goal against Coventry and Fulham respectively.Tottenham's goalless start to the season continued as they were held by Nottingham Forest while Hull extended their unbeaten run.SKIP ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementMore games to come tomorrowThere are two more Premier League matches to come this weekend and they both fall tomorrow.First up, Everton take on Manchester United at 2pm BST (9am ET).Following on, reigning champions Arsenal host Chelsea at 4.30pm BST (11.30am ET).Another landmark for Haaland Getty ImagesWhen you're talking about Erling Haaland, records and landmarks are never far away.Today's winner against Coventry was the 300th top-flight goal of his club career in just his 368th appearance.It was also his 20th headed Premier League goal, which is more than any other player has scored for Manchester City.Jakirovic delighted with seven points for Hull Getty Images Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic also spoke to Sky Sports and reflected on his side’s latest point, which took them to seven from their opening three games and expected their unbeaten start.💬 "We could have won but also they had a few chances, especially in the second half."So we want to be grateful for seven points from three games and a clean sheet."It's a great result for us and we're looking forward for the next."We can improve some things there because Aston Villa found some space there, but this is also quality, you know."I think that we have a stability there and we we can do better."We have seven points. If somebody offered me that before the season started, I would have signed up immediately."Unai Emery: 'Today was a step forward' Getty Images Aston Villa manager Unai Emery took the positives from a goalless draw at Hull.Speaking to Sky Sports, the Spaniard said his side’s first point of the season represented a step forward.💬 "It was positive with how we planned and how we played and how we were creative and played to dominate."We had some chances to score. We avoided as well some mistakes we made before."Overall in 90 minutes, I can feel comfortable how we are progressing, not with the results, but we must try to understand and to accept how we are building the team again."We need to be clinical. We had four very good chances to score and of course, if we scored, the match can change."And when you are not scoring as well you must be always careful defensively around the transition, around the long balls and second connection and maybe some corners."But overall, understanding how we started the season, how we are adding players and trying to get our structure stronger and stronger, it is is one step forward today."Hull's John Egan: 'We defend for each other' Getty Images Hull defender John Egan paid tribute to his fellow defenders for the clean sheet that extended their unbeaten start to the season.Egan spoke to Sky Sports after a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa that took newly-promoted Hull to seven points after three games.💬 "It’s a good clean sheet first and foremost. I think both teams had chances."They're a really good team and we had our chances too."I think we finished probably stronger the two teams, but overall it's a really good point for us."A lot of work goes into it on the training pitch. It probably started in the playoffs last year when we moved to this shape, and we have a lot of experienced players."We've got lads who want to work together and defend for each other."So far so good. We just have to keep improving."SKIP ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementWinless starts for Forest and Tottenham Getty ImagesGiven neither Nottingham Forest or Tottenham had won a game coming into today, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they drew 0-0 at the City Ground.Never before had Forest failed to win their opening three matches of a Premier League season, while it is the first time Spurs have done it since 2015.Across his spells at Crystal Palace and now in the East Midlands, Oliver Glasner has not won any of his last 10 league games (drawing five and losing five) which is the longest he has gone without a victory since May 2023 when he was at Eintracht Frankfurt.Andrews reflects on Brentford draw Getty ImagesKeith Andrews and Brentford have had a solid start to the season — they picked up another point today with a draw against Sunderland.Here's how Andrews reflected on the result when speaking to BBC Match of the Day:💬 “We caused ourselves a lot of problems. We were better in the second half. We started fighting more, did the ugly side of the game and played with a bit more conviction. There was a real improvement and I thought the game was there for the taking in the second half.“The fact we're looking round the place and there is a tinge of disappointment. Nothing is given to you in this league - you have to go and earn it.”Three wins for Man City, three defeats for Coventry Getty ImagesContrasting fortunes for Manchester City and Coventry at the start of this Premier League season.Man City have won each of their first three games of the campaign for the eighth time — only Chelsea have done that more often (nine) in the Premier League.Coventry, meanwhile, have lost all three of theirs and haven't scored a goal, which is the first time they have ever done that in the top flight in their history. Though it is worth caveating that by reminding that they have had to go away to Man City and Arsenal already.Leeds are a tough team to beat Getty ImagesBrighton 1-1 LeedsDaniel Farke has done an excellent job of making Leeds an incredibly tough to beat since he brought them back into the Premier League.After today's draw away to Brighton, they have lost just one of their last 12 games — winning five and drawing six. Excluding this season's promoted teams, no team have lost fewer games in that period than Leeds.As for Brighton, they picked up another result after going behind and there was a bit of history for them today in the team selected by Fabian Hurzeler: it was the first Premier League starting XI they have named consisting of 11 different nationalities.A terrible start to the season for Fulham Getty ImagesFulham 2-3 Crystal PalaceLife for Alvaro Arbeloa at Fulham has not started well at all. His side have lost each of their first three games of this season — they have only done that twice before in the top flight in their history (in 1951-52 and 2020-21), and they were relegated in both of those seasons.It was a brilliant win from behind for Crystal Palace who had unlikely goalscorer Tyrick Mitchell to thank for dragging them level twice — it was the first time in his career that he has scored two goals in the same game.SKIP ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementAston Villa edge out of the drop zone Premier LeagueThe table doesn't make pretty viewing for supporters of Tottenham or Aston Villa, though both teams are off the mark for the season after draws today.Coventry have had a tough couple of away trips so there is no great shock to see them at the bottom of the pile.A trip to Everton gives Manchester United the opportunity to move into the top half tomorrow.Is hope on the way for Villa?There is no escaping the fact that Aston Villa and Unai Emery lost some big names this summer — but among the players to have come in in a £300million spending spree are Johan Manzambi, Nicolas Jackson, Ibrahim Mbaye and Taylor Harwood-Bellis.It'll be a while yet before they all get up to speed, which should be some cause for optimism.Hull still flying high Premier LeagueHull fans certainly wouldn't have expected their side to still be unbeaten three games into their return to the Premier League.Two important wins to start and an impressive shutout again today has laid a strong foundation for them to build on.Manchester City are top heading into tomorrow when one of Arsenal and Chelsea — or both — will lose their 100 per cent records.Worrying times for VillaA remarkable (and worrying stat) for Aston Villa now... they have managed just one shot on target in their first three Premier League matches of the new season. Struggling.Three clean sheets for HullWhat a masterclass in how to lock down your goal from Hull City.Three clean sheets on their return to the Premier League is an incredible return, never mind the seven points they have already accrued.Happy days on the Humber.SKIP ADVERTISEMENTAdvertisementFULL TIME: Stalemate at Hull Getty ImagesHull City 0-0 Aston Villa (FT)Villa still don't have a goal and Hull are still unbeaten.Technically it's two dropped points at home for Hull but the frustration will all be for Villa, who had loads of possession and some great chances.And they could even have lost it at the end.Huge chances for Cho and McBurnie!Hull City 0-0 Aston Villa (89)Oh, my. Hull have missed two superb chances to snatch it late on,First a cross from the left is laid off neatly by McBurnie for Cho, whose shot is weak and saved by Suzuki.Then Giles delivers a brilliant cross and McBurnie is unmarked in the centre but lashes it wide when more control was needed.They should he ahead! Getty ImagesNo wonder Unai Emery is getting so annoyed.His side have had a whopping 92 per cent possession in the last 15 minutes but have hardly tested the Hull defence.Villa have created plenty of good chances — more than enough to win the game — but their creativity has dried up as the game has ticked towards its conclusion.Emery livid on the touchlineHull City 0-0 Aston Villa (85)Buendia's anger seems to be spreading across the Villa bench. Manager Unai Emery is furious now.It's hard to be sure, he was preparing a double substitution and seemed to be annoyed with Aaron Wan-Bissaka for not being ready to go on.The Spaniard didn't hold back. He is always animated but that was a step up from his usual state.
