Premier League Weekend Recap

Manchester United:


After a stellar 2nd debut performance by their homecoming star Cristiano Ronaldo and a berserker by Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United clinched the top spot by beating Crystal Palace. Pogba, who has 7 assists in 3 matches, is most by any player after initial 3 opening matches in Premier League.


Man United 4-1 Crystal Palace


Chelsea:


It seems Chelsea finally got a striker who's capable of delivering standard performances like Costa or Drogba. The former Inter Milan man opened up the scoring against Aston Villa and scored his second with a banger from 18 yards away.

Mateo Kovacic also scored by taking advantage of Tyrone’s mistake to make it upto 3-0.


Chelsea 3-0 Aston Villa


Liverpool:

Mohamed Salah put Liverpool 1-0 up from Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s precise cross, before Fabinho doubled his side’s advantage in the second half.

Sadio Mane completed the scoring late in the day to make it 3-0.

But Elliott had sadly suffered a dislocated ankle injury that overshadowed the result.


Harvey Elliott, who over the last four games had established himself not just as a deserving member of Klopp’s starting XI but also one of the promising young footballers of the country. The sight of him being stretchered off with an apparently grisly injury was a rare moment that united players and fans of both sides left in grief.


Leeds 0-3 Liverpool


Manchester City:


Pep’s side won their third game of the Premier League season at the King Power Stadium after thumping 5-0 victories over Norwich City and Arsenal prior to the international break.


Portuguese forward Bernardo Silva's single goal midway through the second half was the difference in a tight affair. Jamie Vardy had a goal disallowed for offside just after the interval. Though the Portuguese international had the simplest of tap-ins, his all-round performance was thrilling and reminded everyone just what quality possessed by the 27-year-old.


Leicester City 0-1 Manchester City.


Tottenham:


Tottenham went to Selhurst Park on Saturday and went down in flames, losing 3-0 off of a Wilfried Zaha penalty and a Edsonne Edouard brace on his first Premier League appearance. It was a trash fire in a flaming dumpster.

After a 58th minute red card by Japhet Tanganga, Crystal Palace took advantage of extra man in the field to bottle up Spurs into dust, which saw them their first League match defeat.


Crystal Palace 3-0 Tottenham.


Arsenal:

It has been a disastrous start to the season for the Gunners, Arteta's men sat rock bottom of the Premier League after three games played, with zero points, zero goals scored and nine goals conceded before Saturday's clash.


Thanks to the captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for his 66th minute goal to clinch victory over newly promoted Norwich City.


Arsenal 1-0 Norwich City



Other Match Results include Wolverhampton's 2-0 away victory over Watford.



Brighton and Hove Albion secured 1-0 away victory over Brentford.


While Southampton and West Ham United shared a point each in their encounter where West Ham Striker Mikhail Antonio saw a Red Card late in the Match. 


Last of the Matchday week concluded with Everton's 3-1 victory over Burnley. Everton have now won consecutive league matches when conceding the first goal.

Mbappe's brilliance shines as PSG secures triumphant start to 2023-24 season against Lens.

Kylian Mbappe, who had made a notable impact as a substitute the previous weekend, was reinstated in PSG's starting lineup, forging a dynamic trio up front alongside Ousmane Dembele and Marcos Asensio. Regrettably, PSG had to contend with the absence of their defensive stalwarts – Juan Bernat, Presnel Kimpembe, and Nuno Mendes – all sidelined due to injuries. The recent acquisitions, Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos, were also unfortunate absentees. Despite grappling with a defeat in their preceding match, Franck Haise opted to entrust the same starting eleven with the task at hand. This selection included Florian Sotoca as the spearhead of the attack. The much-discussed signing, Elye Wahi, remained on the substitutes' bench, while the unavailability of key players like Jimmy Cabot, Wuilker Farinez, and Wesley Said, due to injuries, posed an additional challenge. Neil El Aynaoui's suspension further compounded Lens's lineup constraints. Medina etched his name ...
