Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool started the 2021/2022 English Premier league title race in style with convincing victories which showed that they were more prepared after Arsenal’s 2-0 loss yesterday to Brentford.
Chelsea who played host to Crystal Palace handed a 3-0 victory to their visitor’s, with Alonso, Pulisic and Chalobah all netting for the Blues.
Earlier Manchester United had demolished Leeds with a 5-1 victory at Old Trafford, with Bruno Fernandes scoring an opening day hat-trick while Greenwood and Fred added one each to make it five.
Though United conceded one goal in the second half which led to the visitors leveling up, but Solksjaer’s men gave a devastating second-half display that saw them demolish their visitors.
Liverpool who travelled to Norwich inflicted pains on the newly promoted side whose fans jeered to encourage their team but were met with a poisonous attack triggered by Mohammed Sallah.
The Egyptian scored one and provided two assists for Jota and Firmino, as Klopp’s men looked relaxed in attack following return of Van Dijk who had been off for 10 months.
