    Chelsea 2-1 Swansea

    Advantage Jose Mourinho's lot at the break in their season opener, although Swansea have given them some testing moments. 

    The Chelsea boss will surely want better from his players in the second half.

    Troubling times ahead for Sunderland? They were well beaten by Leicester today, and seem to have been just about surviving for ages now.

    I wonder if Black Cats boss Dick Advocaat is starting to think he shouldn't have changed his mind about retiring...

    Leicester had great energy and good pace. Riyad Mahrez was absolutely sensational. You won't believe some of the Sunderland defending until you see it on Match of the Day.

    Brilliant finish by Andre Ayew after an equally brilliant save by Thibaut Courtois. The Chelsea keeper kept out Bafetimbi Gomis header but Ayew swept in at the second attempt.

    Norwich 1-3 Crystal Palace

    Norwich City boss Alex Neil:  "We dominated the game at the start and we had to take our chances, but we didn't do that.

    "I thought in the main, our use of the ball was good. We controlled most of the game, but it is a lesson."

    On Norwich's disallowed goal: "It was a key moment in the game. It's extremely disappointing, more often than not that goal would be given."

    Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "It was a really good first game, all round really. After about five minutes I realised I'd picked the wrong team today. Norwich were brilliant for the first 20 minutes. 

    "Sometimes your players have to get you out of jail, as a manager. I thanked them after the game.

    "Jason Puncheon was our best player today. Wilfried Zaha was great, but Punch was our best player last season and carried that on today."
