Chelsea Overrun Arsenal

Olusola
Arsenal vs Chelsea 0-2

Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 at the Emirate stadium to get the maximum 6 points from the first 2 matches. 

Arsenal attacked in the opening minutes but Chelsea absorbed the pressure and gradually took control of the game. A swift counter attacking move in the 15th minute saw Lukaku score the first goal on his second debut for Chelsea. A good  low cross from Reece James saw Lukaku tap in.

Chelsea continued to control the game and the second goal came in the 35th minute. Reece James, the assistant of the first goal, scored the goal with a fine shot into the net from close range.

Arsenal sometimes looked like getting a goal back with their fast attacking play. However they would have been 3 goals down had lukaku’s close range header got into the net late in the second half. All credit to the Arsenal goalkeeper for denying  him.

Overall Chelsea were the dominant team and kept Arsenal at arm’s length.

This result sees Chelsea move to top of the premier league table. But on the same points with Liverpool, spurs and Brighton

Olusola
Manchester city celebrate Goal

Manchester City responded well after their opening day defeat by trashing Norwich 5-0. It was a game where Norwich wasn’t given any chance as they spent the whole 90 minutes defending.

Too much pressure by Mancity in the early minutes of the match forced an own goal by Tim Krul in the seventh minute. Continued bombardment from Mancity led to their second goal in the 26th minute through Jack Grealish.

The second half was no different, Manchester City continued to attack and attack, while Norwich had no choice but to defend. However , Manchester City were missing chances which forced the coach to make some chances including Raheem Sterling replacing Torres.

The result was immediately evident. Manchester City scored 3 more goals to make it 5. Laporte , Sterling and Mahrez scored the goals in the 64th, 71st and 84th minute respectively.

The champions move to 5th on the table and are now ready to defend their title.
