It was a bit crazy, but it was good. At the end of a very rhythmic game, Liverpool delighted its Anfield public, finally back in the stands after 18 months of waiting, by beating Burnley (2-0), on Saturday, during the second day. Diogo Jota (18th) and Sadio Mané (69th) scored the two goals of the victory. For the Reds, it’s two wins in two days. After a series of injuries last year, especially in defense, Liverpool seems to be back to being a machine to break through defenses with two well-constructed goals from Diogo Jota (1-0, 18th) and Sadio Mané (2-0, 69th).
In addition to Virgil van Dijk, who has resumed his position as a control tower and launch pad of his team’s game after a season almost blank, Jürgen Klopp was also able to count on Trent Alexander-Arnold, very much in form after his return from an injury that had deprived him of the Euro.
But they will obviously have to be judged against stronger opponents, starting with Chelsea, who will visit them next Saturday.
The Champion takes the lead
Manchester City’s new recruit was part of the 5-0 victory over Norwich, scoring his first goal in his new colors with a bit of luck. Early in the game, the unfortunate Tim Krul had already put the English champion in front by opening the score against his own side, while Laporte, Sterling and Mahrez have then
Another much-anticipated recruit shone: Danny Ings, who opened the scoring for Aston Villa just before the break, with a delightful acrobatic finish that left the Newcastle goalkeeper on the spot. While the score was 0-0 between Aston Villa and Newcastle this Saturday in the Premier League, the British striker opened the score with a splendid overhead kick. Pure delight for the eyes. Anwar El-Ghazi doubled the score from the penalty spot to make it 2-0, but the star of Aston Villa is their new center forward, who scored his second goal in two league games.
The other two games on Saturday afternoon ended in draws. Crystal Palace and Brentford failed to find the net in a game that ended in a goalless draw. We’ll have to wait to see Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace score in the Premier League. On the other hand, the match between Leeds and Everton ended in a more spectacular draw (2-2). The Peacocks twice managed to come back to the score. Firstly, on a counter-attack initiated by Luke Ayling and concluded by Matheus Klich, then on a low missile in the small net of the former Rennes Raphinha. Calvert-Lewin also scored.
