And bringing Game-week 1 to a close, Leeds return to the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Everton

Scoring on his debut!
In front of that home crowd!
Lukas Nmecha scored from the penalty spot for Leeds to see them to victory; it came after a controversial decision around a James Tarkowski handball

The state of play after the first round of matches
Butt remember, this is just Week1; there's 37 weeks to go!

Spurs this week thought they'd signed Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, but at the 11th hour, he chose to go to Arsenal - typical of the frantic highs and lows of the EPL transfer window.
Here's just a snapshot of Eze's career trajectory .......

Eze's story so far:
Released by Arsenal and Millwall
Rejected by Fulham and Reading
Nearly took a job at Tesco
Signs for QPR
Scores 14 goals and gets 8 assists in the 19/20 Championship season
Moves to Crystal Palace for £20m
Scores double figure goals in back-to-back Premier League seasons
Makes his England debut
About to sign for Arsenal for £60m
WOW! The rise has been exceptional

An early check for Spurs in 25/26. Interesting to see how they go !
Come on Ye Spurs.

Hammers started on fire, scored a screamer (Paqueta) lost another due to an off side - then the wheels fell off and Chelsea went on a roll that could not be stopped!
Chelsea ended proceedings 5-1 up over the home side, West Ham.
Sad/hard seeing the home stands half empty at the end of the game.
Such is the pressure felt.

And he was only a last minute addition to the run on side after Cole Palmer was a very late withdrawal (injury).

M A G N I F I C O - 5 mins into the game, it was a promising start and fabulous Hammers goal

Spurs win 2-0 away at Etihad Stadium over a less than usual Man City!
Brennan Johnson opened the scoring after Richarlison exposed City's high line then Joao Palhinha punished James Trafford’s risky pass from a goal kick 2-0 at half time and that's all she wrote!
