WENGER PROVES PUNDITS RIGHT WITH FIRST WIN

Arsenal got their first win of the season with a 3-1 comfortable win over their opponents Watford.


The win would ensure coach Arsene Wenger gets a break, after pressure piled up due to a string of underwhelming performances. The win pushes the runners-up last term to five points after the three games. Football pundit Robbie Savage predicted that the Gunners would win, pegging Arsenal at 8/11.

Arsenal move to 7th position with the win, while Watford languish in the relegation zone, after their second loss.

Liverpool vs. Tottenham was the biggest clash of the weekend on paper, and both teams gave fans a match to remember. The game ended 1-1, with English players James Milner and Danny Rose scoring a goal each. Chelsea proved their quality as they thrashed Burnley 3-0, despite their rising confidence from defeating Liverpool 2-0 last week. Goals from Eden Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses did the job. Chelsea top the standings with maximum points from three games so far.

Crystal Palace and Bournemouth played one all draw, while Everton continued their fine form with a 1-0 win over Stoke City. The Toffees place third on the standings with seven points from three games. The result so far would leave Evertonians happy after a crappy last term.

Defending champions Leicester City defeated Swansea 2-1, with Vardy scoring a great goal. Southampton and Sunderland shared the spoils after their 1-1 draw. They both are in the lower rung of the table. Hull City vs. Manchester City was another game that looked to end in a draw until English youngster Marcus Rashford scored the last minute winner. Many betting pundits set United to win at ½, while a draw 7/2. United also played a draw, with Wayne Rooney drawing back the attack. He is yet to shine bright this season though he has a goal already. Rashford played 20 minutes but showed he should start ahead of Rooney and Anthony Martial.
