Manchester United maintained their perfect start to the new premier league season by recording their second consecutive 4-0 victory against their opposition. Mkhitaryan, Martial, and Lukaku continued their fine form to help Manchester United maintain their position as the top team in the English Premier League. Elsewhere, the Wembley woes continued for Tottenham as they were defeated 2-1 by Chelsea despite having the lion’s share of possession and also creating the most chances. Marcos Alonso popped up with two well-taken goals to snatch all three-points for Chelsea. First was a very well taken free-kick, most Chelsea fans around me said the ball was destined for the net or at worst the cross bar even before he took it. It’s nice when you have a dead ball specialist in your team. The second goal was a well-taken finish from close range due to some questionable goalkeeping from Hugo Lloris.

Arsenal, uhm… Arsenal lost to Stoke City by a goal to nil. Despite creating so many goal scoring opportunities, they just could not find the back of the net, thanks to the fact that most of those opportunities fell to Welbeck. Though most Arsenal fans would argue that Lacazette’s goal should have stood, but this is Arsenal if that was ruled out, they should have scored more.

Wayne Rooney continued his fine form as he was on target yet again for Everton this time against Manchester City. Everton were almost claiming all 3-points before Raheem Sterling came off the bench to salvage a point for City.

This gameweek saw a total of 4 red cards and 22 goals were scored in all. New boys - Huddersfield Town maintained their perfect start to life in the EPL by winning their second match in the English top flight. They are the only team to have a 100% win ratio in the EPL history.
