After a thrilling first week of football here is what were learnt...

But on a serious note here are my reviews of this weeks premier league matches

Manchester United vs Leicester City (2-1)

After just 2 minutes Pogba banged in an unstoppable penalty putting the red devils ahead early.
The first half was more or less dominated by Leicester, due to poor passing and touches by United
However through the second half it was exciting end to end football!
After luke shaw scored on the 82nd minute, United played very boring and defensive football and allowed Leicester to have multiple attacks, and with Jamie Vardy on the pitch in the last 15 minutes it was a really difficult task keeping Leicester from scoring and as he always does Vardy found a way to get his name on the scoresheet.

Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspurs (1-2)

In a close game of football, Tottenham came out victorious over an 'unlucky' newcastle
After an exciting first 20 minutes the game was relatively close with Tottenham having a slight edge over newcastle during the game
Even though Tottenham won, Newcastle looked dangerous and definitely looked promising at times

Huddersfield vs Chelsea (0-3)

with huddersfield being very unlucky and hitting the post, Chelsea won the game by a decisive 3 goals to 0 and Sarri's new team played well, but need to improve before next weeks game against Arsenal.
Overall it was a pretty one sided game especially in the second half when Chelsea dominated the game.

Bournemouth vs Cardiff City (2-0)

with cardiff being the lowest ranked team in the premier league, they have a much weaker squad than most teams and will likely struggle throughout this season.
in this game the clear winners were the home side who stormed passed cardiff relatively easily.
if cardiff want to survive the premier league they need to improve a lot to be able to compete.

Watford vs Brighton (2-0)

Watford won comfortably against brighton and looked very strong
Pereyra scored both goals and looked on fire during the match
Brighton will need to improve in their coming matches to stand a chance this year due to the lack of signings they made.

Fulham vs Crystal Palace (0-2)

Even though the score line shows different, both teams played very well and looked very good in defence and attack, but Palace just had the edge over Fulham in an exciting match.

Wolves vs Everton (2-2)

Southampton vs Burnley

Liverpool vs West Ham (4-0)

Liverpool start the season by thrashing West Ham
-Salah, Mane and Sturridge all get on the scoresheet
West Ham destroyed by Liverpool and had no chance during the game
Liverpool to win the title??

Arsenal vs Manchester City (0-2)
-arsenal fails to perform
-city breeze past arsenal
-xhaka had a game to forget
-arsenal fans not happy
