City's football campaign commences brimming with an abundance of goals scored
Manchester City Kick Off Premier League Season with Impressive 4-0 Win
Manchester City started their Premier League campaign with a resounding 4-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Erling Haaland scored a brace, while Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki also found the back of the net for the Cityzens.
However, the match saw the absences of Stefan Ortega Moreno and Ilkay Gundogan, who were not included in the starting lineup.
Elsewhere, Thomas Frank enjoyed a successful league debut as Tottenham Hotspur manager, securing a 3-0 win against Burnley. Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, and an unnamed player scored for Spurs in the convincing victory.
The opening fixtures also saw Liverpool start their season with a 4-2 win against AFC Bournemouth. The Reds' new signing, Florian Wirtz, is expected to bolster their attack in the coming games.
In a surprising turn of events, Niclas Fullkrug had a disappointing start to his Premier League season with West Ham United. The German striker, who joined the Hammers for £27 million last season, struggled with injuries and inconsistent form, making only 10 appearances and scoring just one goal. Despite showing promise in pre-season games and under new manager Graham Potter, West Ham's poor results continued, including a 3-0 defeat at AFC Sunderland.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Newcastle United played out a goalless draw in their Premier League encounter. No goals were scored in a tightly contested match, with Malick Thiaw watching from the bench for Newcastle.
In an unexpected result, AFC Sunderland scored three unanswered goals against West Ham United, with Eliezer Mayenda, Daniel Ballard, and Wilson Isidor finding the net for the Black Cats.
Arsenal, who are considered favorites for the Premier League title this season, will face Manchester United on Sunday in their next Premier League game. With this win, Manchester City temporarily top the Premier League table.
Despite Niclas Fullkrug's £27 million move to West Ham United last season, he struggled in the Premier League, making only 10 appearances and scoring just one goal. Meanwhile, the German striker failed to impact his team's poor results, including a 3-0 defeat at AFC Sunderland, as the new season unfolded in European leagues, with the Premier League witnessing several exciting matches.
