The Premier League returned with drama everywhere you looked. Arsenal got their season up and running thanks to a mistake from Manchester United’s Altay Bayindir, while Liverpool’s emotional 4-2 win over Bournemouth was lit up by Federico Chiesa and Mo Salah.
Sunderland celebrated a dream return to the top flight with a 3-0 win over West Ham, Tottenham and Manchester City both cruised to victory, and Fulham struck late to deny Brighton. Elsewhere, Palace were left fuming at VAR, Forest’s coach injured himself celebrating a goal, and Newcastle completed the signing of Jacob Ramsey.
Beyond the Premier League, Bayern lifted the German Super Cup, Barcelona cruised in La Liga and the Marshall Islands made history with their first ever international goal.
