Although it was not the most spectacular opening week in the Premier League with no major upsets there were still enough talking points to whet the appetite for this weekend's action. It was also a low-scoring week with just 21 goals coming from the 10 matches, but at least there wasn't a 0-0. The top scorers were Brighton with a 3-0 demolition of Everton at Goodison Park.
Star of the show was the Seagulls' exciting Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma who scored the opener and was a livewire throughout. It was a great start for Brighton's new manager Fabian Herzeler who at 31 is the youngest in the league. As expected all the league heavyweights picked up three points without being fully stretched.
Arsenal looked comfortable in their 2-0 win over Wolves at the Emirates. Once again Bukayo Saka was outstanding. There was a lot of interest in Liverpool's visit to Portman Road where Ipswich were celebrating their return to the top flight for the first time in 22 years.
There was a celebratory atmosphere at the ground and for 45 minutes the Tractor Boys kept the party going. The second half was a different story however, and Arne Slot's side eventually cruised to a 2-0 victory with goals from Diogo Jota and Mo Salah. The Ipswich fans still had some fun though.
Feeling the referee's decisions were favouring Liverpool we soon heard the chant of "Who's the Scouser in the black?" No one was quite sure what would happen at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea were hosting champions Manchester City. .
