Premier League results: Chelsea, Tottenham, Everton, Leicester and Bournemouth win

Last updated on .From the section Premier Leaguecomments158

Marcos Alonso scored the winner for Chelsea against rivals Arsenal
Marcos Alonso has been directly involved in 20 Premier League goals since his Chelsea debut in September 2016.

Chelsea edged out rivals Arsenal in a five-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge, Harry Kane ended his August goal drought as Tottenham beat Fulham 3-1, while there were also wins for Leicester, Everton and Bournemouth.

Unai Emery's Arsenal fought back from two goals down as Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi cancelled out strikes from Pedro and Alvaro Morata before half-time, but Marcos Alonso met substitute Eden Hazard's cross on 81 minutes to give Maurizio Sarri a winning home debut as manager.

At Wembley Stadium, Lucas Moura's opener for Tottenham just before half-time was cancelled out by Aleksandar Mitrovic, who headed in Fulham's first goal back in the top-flight to equalise.

However a stunning free-kick from Kieran Trippier, reminiscent of his goal for England in the World Cup, and a third from Kane, who had not previously scored a Premier League goal in August in his 14 previous games, secured the win at Wembley.

Richarlison scored his third goal of the season as Everton beat Southampton 2-1, with Theo Walcott also on target as Marco Silva earned his first league win as Toffees boss, while Danny Ings got his first goal for the Saints.

Ten-man Leicester beat Wolves 2-0 with Matt Doherty scoring an own goal and James Maddison scoring his first Premier League goal, while England striker Jamie Vardy was shown a straight red in the 66th minute.

Steve Cook and Callum Wilson scored for Bournemouth, as they came from behind to beat West Ham at the London Stadium, despite Marko Arnautovic's first-half penalty.

In Saturday's early kick-off, Kenedy missed a 96th-minute penalty as 10-man Newcastle drew 0-0 at Cardiff, with both teams picking up their first point of the campaign.

Newcastle substitute Isaac Hayden was sent off 21 minutes after coming on at half-time for a foul on Josh Murphy, while Kenedy was lucky to stay on the pitch after kicking Victor Camarasa in the first-half.

In the Championship, Middlesbrough stayed top as they beat Bristol City 2-0, but Derby, managed by Frank Lampard suffered a successive league defeat, losing 2-1 to Millwall.

Leeds United maintained their 100% winning start, beating Rotherham 2-0 , while West Brom thrashed QPR 7-1 and Aston Villa were held 1-1 by 10-man Ipswich.

    Do other United fans inwardly cringe whenever Darren from Devin pipes up with his embarrassing comments? Surely so. His mummy must be so proud though, learning to use the internet at 5 years old!

    Today Arsenal were dreadful up front and shocking at the back. A bit like me after a night on beer and curry.

    There is English football on TV just now, with no English players on the park.

    Hilarious.

    As an Arsenal fan, I was disappointed with today's result and the defensive aspects of our game. But I hope there isn't mass hysteria over our current results considering we have played the Champions at home and Chelsea away.

    This season may be a difficult one, but it will take time for Emery and isn't going to be an overnight fix. Hopefully, we can get a better result against West Ham.

    Why are the beeb obsessed with H Kane scoring in August, I mean, is that such a big deal?

    It’s all over 5Live and now on’t t’internet as the main headline.

    I am not astonished by it 🤔

    EPL is a Foreign league played on English shores.
    21 Foreign players start in the Chelski game.

    What happened on Saturday? Looks like Jamie Carragher has his job back. That's what. Personally after his behaviour and setting such a poor example I don't think he should be picking up punditry work. He should be picking up his P45.

    As for English players being useless, well I care about the national team a damn sight more than I do about who wins the Premier League.

    Foreign managers will always sign foreign players, and before long England teams will be selected from the Championship because the foreign Premier League managers have made it so.

    If, as a PL supporter, you are happy with that, then good luck to you.

    Depressing to see Arsenal starting with no English players and Chelsea only one.
    Stronger rules are needed.
    It should be compulsory for each team to start games with at least 3 English players.

    Premier League results: Chelsea, Tottenham, Everton, Leicester and Bournemouth win.

    I love the way BBC refer to the English Premier League. How many 'English' players did Arsenal and Chelsea field??

    Sadly our game and league is now basically owned, run by foreigners and populated by foreign players. To call it English is delusional.

    "Thanks to Brexit we might see more young British talent given a chance." - Who was it that scored Man Utd's winning goal against Bayern Munich? Who was it that kept goal for them for nigh on ten years?

    What have the BBC got against Arsenal, neither of their PL games have had a HYS this season

    Arsenal are shocking
    Game over after 20 minutes
    They are wearing ‘visit Rwanda’ armbands
    Why?
    Rwanda is a war zone with lots of land mines
    I think they need to visit the training ground instead and practice on the basics
    Mr Emery is their manager
    Remember Dick Emery
    Arsenal today......
    Ooh you are awful

    Slightly worrying for the likes of Fulham ans Wolves who have spent big in an attempt to secure top flight football. I remember Harry Redknapp doing that at Portsmouth some years ago and look what happened.

    Give it a rest, look at football in the 80's and most of it was dreadful and then we had lots of British players

    To be fair to Arsenal, losing to City and narrowly losing to Chelsea at any other separate times in the season doesn't mean much. It's just that it's the first two games of the season, not helped by them having a new manager. Any of the other 17 clubs in the league could have met the same fate in their place.
