Neymar, Lukaku, Lacazette, Morata and Rooney were among the football stars who made a flying start at their new clubs. In what will go down as a memorable start of his PSG career, Neymar capped his stellar-performance with a goal in the 80th minute -finishing Cavani’s cutback to make it 3-0 as Paris downed Guigamp.
CHECKPOINTCHARLEY had tipped Romelo Lukaku for greatness even before he signed for Manchester United. And when he moved to Old Trafford, it was clear that his time to show to the world what a great striker he is has come. The Belgian international did not disappoint in his first league match for the Red Devils, though he had been lethal in the pre-season games for United. Lukaku got a brace as Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United announced that they are the team to beat this year in the Premiership as they hammered West Ham 4-0.
Arsenal new signing Alexandre Lacazette also scored on his debut for the Gunners. He proved that he got the class other strikers at the club lack by netting the opening goal within two minutes in a 4-3 goal-feast win over Leicester City.
Defending EPL champions, Chelsea were humiliated at home by lowly Burnley. It was shocking to see the Blues 0-3 down at Stamford Bridge within 43 minutes. However, new signing Alvaro Morata clinically nodded home in the 69th minute in an attempt to stimulate an unlikely comeback for Chelsea. That did not happen, notwithstanding that defender Luiz made it 2-3 two minutes from time to send the game to a nail-biting finish. However, Morata made his mark to tell Chelsea that they could forget about Diego Costa, who is now threatening a strike.
At Goodison Park, Wayne Rooney marked an emotional return to the club where he started his illustrious career with a trademark goal to help Everton in a 1-0 win over Stoke City.
