Crazy Saturday in Football: Shock Results Rock Premier League and La Liga

September 27, 2025, delivered a chaotic day of football across Europe, headlined by major upsets in the Premier League and a stunning derby result in La Liga. Heavyweights Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Real Madrid all suffered shocking defeats, confirming it was indeed a "crazy day of football".

Premier League Mayhem

The Premier League saw an afternoon of dramatic results, with three of the traditional "Big Six" stumbling:

• Chelsea 1 - 3 Brighton: Chelsea's winless run in the Premier League extended after a defeat at Stamford Bridge. After taking the lead, the game turned on a 53rd-minute red card shown to defender Trevoh Chalobah for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity. Brighton capitalised on the numerical advantage, with substitute Danny Welbeck scoring twice, including the late equaliser and the third goal, alongside Maxim De Cuyper's stoppage-time header. The result means Brighton has beaten Chelsea for the third consecutive game.

• Crystal Palace 2 - 1 Liverpool: League leaders Liverpool's perfect start to the season came to a stunning end at Selhurst Park. After Crystal Palace took the lead early, Liverpool managed to equalise late in the game. However, substitute Eddie Nketiah scored a 97th-minute winner for Palace, giving the late-goal kings a taste of their own medicine.

• Brentford 3 - 1 Man United: Manchester United also suffered a significant defeat on the road against Brentford. Brentford secured a convincing 3-1 victory, with goals coming from Igor Thiago (twice) and Mathias Jensen.

La Liga Thriller: Madrid Derby Ends in Rout

The most emphatic result of the day came in the Madrid Derby:

• Atlético Madrid 5 - 2 Real Madrid: Atlético Madrid delivered a famous win over their rivals, roaring back from a 2-1 deficit to hand Real Madrid a heavy defeat. Goals for the victors came from Robin Le Normand, Clément Lenglet, Alexander Sørloth, and a double from Julián Álvarez, along with Antoine Griezmann. The loss ended Real Madrid's perfect seven-game winning streak this season.
