Premier League is back!

1-0 at halftime in all of Saturday‘s 3 p.m. Premier League fixtures:
The score did only stay the same at St. James’s Park in Newcastle, but in all the other matches more goals were scored in the second half: Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 with Bournemouth (which will play the Hammers in the League Cup), Everton got drubbed 3-0 at home by Brighton which now tops the table, and Arsenal added a second goal to make it 2-0 with a fine
display which underlined that they will go for an other challenge of reigning champions ManCity once again (goal scorers Havertz and Saka).

West Ham though didn’t get off to a flying start:

Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham conceded early from Amadou Onana’s header after a corner
1-1: Lucas Paquetá scored the equaliser with a penalty after Tomas Soucek was fouled in the box

Steve Sidwell, BBC: “There have been glimpses for West Ham and they will only get better the more time Lopetegui has to spend with them.”
