Manchester City triumphed over Newcastle United with a score of 1-0 in a Premier League clash on August 19. Despite having recently contested the European Supercup final, the City squad showed no signs of weariness.
The decisive goal was hammered home by Julian Alvarez in the first half, showcasing his Argentinean prowess with a forceful strike that found the top corner of the net.
Throughout the match, Manchester City created superior scoring opportunities, outperforming their opponents who clinched the fourth spot on the table last season.
Meanwhile, in a triumphant inaugural home league game under Ange Postecoglou’s management, Tottenham secured a convincing 2-0 victory against Manchester United.
Pape Sarr notched his first goal for Tottenham, signaling his impactful entry into the team. Although Tottenham struggled to maintain their best form during the initial half, they rallied after the break.
Sarr’s header and Lisandro Martinez’s accidental deflection of Ben Davies’ volley sealed the game with seven minutes remaining. While Tottenham enthusiasts reveled in the team’s offensive tactics, operating without the presence of Harry Kane, Manchester United’s performance left much to be desired.
This subpar display followed their scrappy victory over Wolves in the previous weekend. In a thrilling contest, Liverpool managed to overturn an early setback when Antoine Semenyo scored for Bournemouth within the first three minutes.
Ultimately, Liverpool claimed a 3-1 victory. Luis Diaz’s acrobatic overhead kick restored parity in the 28th minute, and Mohamed Salah capitalized on a penalty save by Neto to put Liverpool in the lead at the 36th-minute mark.
Despite Alexis Mac Allister’s expulsion following a high challenge in the 58th minute, Diogo Jota swiftly secured Liverpool’s win. Brighton took an early lead against Wolverhampton with Kaoru Mitoma’s outstanding solo goal in the 15th minute.
Mitoma displayed exceptional skills by bypassing four defenders before finding the net. Brighton further solidified their victory with additional goals from Pervis Estupinan at the onset of the second half and Solly March in the 51st and 55th minutes, respectively.
Hwang Hee-chan managed a consolation goal for Wolves, who concluded the match with 10 players following Matheus Nunes’ late red card. Brentford, in a comfortable display, emerged victorious with a 3-0 win over Fulham.
Notably, Fulham recently sold their striker Aleksandar Mitrovic to Saudi Arabia for a club-record transfer fee, reshaping the dynamics of their lineup.
