It’s been raining goals!
In the English Premier League, Manchester United recorded their second win of the season as they defeated Southampton by 1 goal to nil thanks to a Bruno Fernandes second-half strike. After a poor start to the season, Manchester United fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Chelsea also won their game against Leicester City by 2 goals to 1 thanks to a brace from new signing Raheem Sterling after Conor Gallagher put the blues in a tight space when he got sent off early in the first half.
Liverpool on the other hand weren’t so happy with the Manchester United defeat on Monday and they decided to take their pound of flesh on Bournemouth who they mauled by 9 goals to nil. The first goal of that game came as early as the 3rd minute and from then it just rained goals for the reds. The surprising thing was Mohammed Salah not getting a goal or an assist. Manchester City produced another fine comeback victory against Patrick Viera’s Crystal Palace after going two goals down early in the first half.
Marquee signing, Erling Haaland, bagged an Hat-trick in the game and has now scored 6 Premier League goals in 4 games. Arsenal also produced a comeback win against London rivals, Fulham, after Aleksandar Mitrovic put them in the lead early in the second half. Captain Odegaard got the equalizing goal for Arsenal and Gabriel Meghales who made the mistake for the Fulham goal redeemed himself by getting the winning goal late in the game. Surprsingly after 4 games, Arsenal are still top of the league with a 100 percent win record.
In other leagues, P.S.G failed to win their game against Monaco but could only manage a 1-1 draw. Bayern Munich also could just manage a 1-1 draw with Borrusisa Monchengladbach. In the La liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid also got big victories against Real Valladolid and RCD Espanyol respectively. The goal battle between Robert Lewandoski and Karim Benzema has secretly started with both on 4 goals and 3 goals respectively.

The second 9-0 scoreline was recorded in the Scottish league where Celtic absolutely bashed Dundee United. It becomes funnier when you actually decipher what “dundee” represents in Nigerian lingua.
