The drama at Old Trafford is rapidly turning into a crisis as United equalled their worst start to a Premier League season with just 10 points from their opening seven matches.
Here's how it played out:

Ozil lifts a lovely pass to Monreal at the back post, who heads it into the middle and Lacazette can't quite divert the ball to goal.
Huddersfield 0-1 Tottenham
The one season wonder has scored again! Harry Kane opens the scoring.
He finally gives Tottenham something to show for after their bright start to the match at the John Smith Stadium with an unstoppable header from close range to convert Kieran Trippier's cross.

Raheem Sterling strikes first!
It's a classic Manchester City goal and Bernardo Silva, Aguero and Sane all play their part in the build up before Sterling rounded things off.
Huddersfield 0-2 Tottenham
Harry Kane makes it 2-0 from the spot!
Danny Rose is pulled back in the box and did anyone really think there would be a different outcome when Harry Kane stepped up to take the penalty?

Jamie Vardy scores from the spot!
Harry Maguire's shot is blocked by DeAndre Yedlin in the box and Leicester have a penalty. Jamie Vardy steps up and makes no mistake to open the scoring at St James' Park.

Arsenal 0-0 Watford
It's all to play for at the Emirates, says Luke Brown
"This has been a great game and a true top-six clash: exciting, end-to-end, and with both sides having plenty of chances.
"Watford have perhaps shaded it although it's Arsenal who enjoyed the best opportunity to open the scoring, with Alexandre Lacazette pouncing upon a defensive balls-up only to chip wide of goal when clear through. Foster was also forced into a smart stop from Granit Xhaka."
Everton 0-0 Fulham
So close for Fulham! Ryan Sessegnon almost rounds off a lovely move with a goal but his effort comes back off the crossbar. Fulham have recovered after a tricky start at Goodison.
