Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford both put three past a traditional top-six name without reply, while Manchester City and Sunderland served up the round's only shootout.

The round in three lines
Brighton and Brentford shared the round's biggest margin — Brighton's 3-0 win over Arsenal and Brentford's 3-0 win over Chelsea were both three-goal wins over a traditional top-six side, on the same weekend.
Home sides won 5 of 10 — Brentford, Brighton, Everton, Manchester City and Newcastle United all won at home, against three away wins (Aston Villa, Coventry City, Liverpool) and two draws (Leeds United–Crystal Palace, Fulham–Manchester United).
Manchester City's 5-3 win over Sunderland was the round's highest-scoring game — eight goals in one match, more than double any other result this round.
A round with two separate three-goal upsets of top-six sides is exactly the kind of week a screenshot doesn't do justice. Running an EPL competition with your mates this season?
