On the first weekend of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester City dismantled Wolves to the tune of 4-0. While Erling Haaland netted a brace, it was debutants Tijjani Reijnders (a goal, an assist and a hockey assist) and Rayan Cherki (a goal in 17 minutes of action) who stole the show.
Earlier, Tottenham Hotspur beat Burnley 3-0 after a brace from Richarlison, Brighton and Hove Albion were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham as Rodrigo scored in the final minute, and Sunderland got a 3-0 win over West Ham United with three second-half goals on their return to the top flight for the first time since 2017.
And, after Liverpool‘s emotional win over Bournemouth on Friday night, Saturday’s first game saw 10-man Aston Villa hold Newcastle United to a 0-0 draw after Ezri Konsa was sent off as the visitors struggled without star striker Alexander Isak, who is courting a move to Liverpool.
Elsewhere, not all the major leagues across Europe are back in action yet after a summer break, but Barcelona began their LaLiga campaign with a 3-0 win over Mallorca, and VfB Stuttgart take on the giants of Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup. Enditem
