A LOOK AT THE TITLE CONTENDERS FIRST GAME
A look up at the 1st English Premier League games of the new season. On Friday it was a perfect start for the Gunners as they came twice from behind to win the game 4-3 at the Emirates Stadium. It was a perfect win for the Arsene Wenger side since in the last seasons they have always lost the first game of the season. Though they lacked services of last season top scorer Alexis Sanchez whose situation is surrounded by a move away from the Emirates while Wenger says that since he has not played during the pre-season and is giving him more time. Sanchez was on duty for his Country Chile in the just concluded Confederation Cup where they lost to Germany in the Final. Though Arsenal did not miss Sanchez since their attacking was overall good. Record signing Alexander Lacazette scored just 3 minutes after the start of the game. Though Arsenal fans will be worried about conceding three goals. It was a league debut for Kolansic and his performance was good. Arsenal were just poor in defending crosses and that was the one ted ed hing that last season cost them. Though Mertersacker was not involved due to an injury he sustain during Arsenal win against Chelsea in the Community Shield, Monreal not playing his normal left back position but playing at the central defence, Koschieny missed due to suspension for his red card against Everton last season and Mustafi also not involved due to Country commitments in the Confederation Cup. Well done The Gunners.
On Saturday, Defending Champions Chelsea got into a poor start after losing 3-2 to Burnely. Chelsea Captain Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas were sent off in the defeat. Chelsea fans more so Conte could at least smile after record signing Alvaro Morata scored his first goal for the club and provided an assist to the second goal which was scored by Brazil Defender David Luiz. Morata who started from the bench replaced Batshuayi came in and changed the game completely. Last season top scorer Diego Costa whose future at Chelsea is unknown and Hazard who is out due to injury. Conte needs to select the first 11 also introduce Morata to the starting line up and am sure Morata will score more goals.
Pep Guardiola who invested heavily in defense paid off on Saturday Night has they won 2-0 to new boys Brighton Albion. Though Brighton performance was very poor and if they continue the same game, they will be the first to be relegated. This season indeed City are title contenders and Aguero scoring and keeping clean sheets then, Guardiola will be winning his first title in England.
Spurs also winning their game 2-0. Newcastle Jojo Shevley send off and the game completely changed in favour of Spurs.
Manchester United got to the perfect start by winning 4 goals and topping the premier league. £75m summer signing Romelo Lukaku scored a brace. The last time United won at home with such a margin was back in 2014. Matic who signed for United from Chelsea displayed a fantastic performance in his first game. He completely controlled the midfield with Pobga and Herrera. The 29 year old is seen to have adapted to the United squad. Jose Mourinho is known to when he joins a team, the first year he builds the team and the following year he wins the league. He has done that with Chelsea, Madrid, Inter Milan and FC Porto. This season he might also do the same with Manchester United if they continue scoring, controlling the ball and defending well like they did against West Ham.
ARSENAL, SPURS, CHELSEA, CITY AND UNITED are the title contenders this season.
