Manchester United's troubled season reached a new low after a 3-1 defeat at West Ham.
Felipe Anderson's early strike, a Victor Lindelof own-goal and Marko Arnautovic's finish left United manager Jose Mourinho increasingly feeling the heat.
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:

88: Chelsea are pressing Liverpool very well and the Reds are struggling to get the ball forward at all. Their passing is too slow and the movement further up the pitch could be better.
Daniel Sturridge scores!
Wow, oh wow!
Shaqiri plays it to Sturridge about 30 yards from goal and he turns to face goal. Kante doesn't close him down and Surridge decides to shoot, and what a decision that was. He curls the ball from the left into the top right corner, Kepa can't have seen that coming.
Three goals in three games for the former Chelsea forward and his first from outside the box in four and a half years.
90: Four minutes of added time!
Chelsea get forward and Morata can't quite get a shot away or find a teammate under Van Dijk's challenge as the ball pin-balls around the Liverpool box.
90+4: Chelsea with a late corner after a dangerous free kick is cleared...this could be the last action.
Alonso gets there first and heads over from the front post. Decent chance that.
Top of the league
The draw at Stamford Bridge means that Manchester City are back on top of the Premier League...but for how long will they stay there?
Daniel Sturridge's late stunner denies Chelsea and fuels Liverpool even further
'Still there, from a goal out of nowhere. Liverpool’s winning run might have ended, but the spark charging this title challenge is still there, and may now be even stronger.'
