The English Premier League (EPL) league table continues to get intense with each passing matchday. This past weekend produced some interesting results.
Fulham 2-2 Liverpool
Darwin Nunez scored one goal and set up an equaliser for Mohamed Salah as Liverpool twice came from behind draw 2-2 at Fulham in their first Premier League game of the season. Aleksandar Mitrovic headed top-flight new boys Fulham into a deserved first-half lead, but Nunez came off the bench to equalise. Mitrovic restored the Cottagers’ lead with a penalty after he was upended by Virgil van Dijk with 18 minutes remaining, but Salah poked in from close range after Nunez laid the ball into his path to salvage a point before Jordan Henderson hit the woodwork in stoppage time.
Tottenham 4-1 Southampton
Haaland on his magical debut
Check out Erling Haaland’s post match press conference after Manchester City’s 2-0 win against West Ham in the Premier League. The Norwegian striker bagged a brace and is delighted with his brilliant Premier League debut.
West Ham 0-2 Man City
Erling Haaland scored twice on his Premier League debut as Manchester City beat West Ham 2-0 at London Stadium. A first-half penalty from Haaland was followed by a typically clinical finish when the big-money signing after the break, as the champions picked up three points from their opening game. One of Areola’s first contributions was to bring down Haaland when he was through on goal to concede a 36th-minute penalty, which the Norway striker dispatched calmly, sending Areola the wrong way. Haaland struck again after 65 minutes, though, when a City counter-attack saw De Bruyne slide his new team-mate in and the former Borussia Dortmund man placed his shot coolly past Areola to seal the points.
