What have we learned from the Premier League so far?

As the Premier League pauses for the international window following the first five matches, champions Arsenal suffered their first defeat in a three-goal loss away to Brighton at Amex Stadium. Manager Mikel Arteta noted the result provides a valuable learning experience after a strong start.

Meanwhile, Manchester City secured a high-scoring victory against Sunderland to claim the top spot under manager Enzo Maresca, sitting three points ahead of Arsenal. Brighton and Brentford have also made strong impressions, holding third and fourth place respectively under their managers Fabian Hurzeler and Keith Andrews.
