    In reply to Nas (16:51), we (Arsenal) didn't win back to back away games all of last season so the grass is currently pretty much the same.

    HT: Chelsea 2-1 Cardiff

    It's all about that little shimmy from Eden Hazard on the first Chelsea goal as he dances past Joe Bennett.

    But also worth a watch on Match of the Day later is the Pedro chip that landed on Neal Etheridge's roof, and the delicious turn that bought him space to try it. Gianfranco would have loved it.

    HT: Newcastle 0-0 Arsenal

    The only game today not to produce a goal is over at St James' Park. Alexandre Lacazette has scored five and created two in his last five league starts though.

    Will he be the difference again today?

    Chelsea Warrior: Fair to say Giroud has justified his inclusion today. Two assists with Eden playing off him. Long may it continue

    Donald: There was the Azpilicueta - Morata connection. Now there is the Giroud - Hazard connection. Hazard is on fire.

    Andy Knowles: Entertaining half, should be out of sight but Fulham’s keeper kept them in it. Bernardo quality in the centre and have to say Delph provides far better balance at LB. Always have to be cautious, have seen us two up against Fulham before...

    Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool maintained their 100% start to the Premier League season and stayed top of the table as they made it five wins out of five for the first time since 1990-91 with victory over Spurs.

    Jurgen Klopp's side took the lead through Georginio Wijnaldum, as he scored his first away league goal since joining Liverpool.

    The visitors doubled their advantage after 54 minutes when Roberto Firmino poked home on the line after Jan Vertonghen turned Sadio Mane's cross on to his own post.

    Andrew Robertson and Lucas Moura hit the woodwork for either side before Erik Lamela pulled one back for Spurs deep into stoppage time and Son Heung-min saw a late penalty claim turned down.

    Read the full match report on that game from Wembley.

    Maybe Arsene Wenger wasn't doing such a bad job after all, eh? I hope the fans that gave him so much stick over the past few seasons are happy with what they are watching right now. The grass isn't always greener...

    Man City 2-0 Fulham

    Matthew Upson
    Former Arsenal defender at Etihad Stadium for 5 live Sport

    Imagine playing against Man City! It must be like being suffocated - you want time, you want the ball clear of your backline, but you never get room to breathe.

    For all the attacking intent of Fulham, for the manager it must be so frustrating to have conceded so early thanks to sloppiness in midfield. Possession is absolutely key. So costly, and it put the visitors on the back foot so early on.

    Leroy Sane's disallowed goal proves to be the last event of the first half.

    Femi: Hazard has to get a hat-trick.

    Donald: There was the Azpilicueta - Morata connection. Now there is the Giroud - Hazard connection. Hazard is on fire.

    Man City 2-0 Fulham

    Leroy Sane thinks he's grabbed a second but his goal is ruled out for offside.

    Ottamendi's strike takes a deflection and Sane fires it into the net. That was marginal...

  14. CHANCE!published at 15:47 British Summer Time 15 September 2018

    Chelsea 2-1 Cardiff

    Cardiff force a run of two corners - the second of which is headed over the bar by Sean Morrison when the big man had space at the back post. They will have to get tighter to protect this lead, Chelsea. Unless Eden Hazard takes them out of sight like perhaps only he can.

    Matt Ritchie slips it out wide to Joselu and the Newcastle man beats Shkodran Mustafi before sending a cross into the box.

    It finds its way back with Ritchie but he's penalised for a foul.

    Eden Hazard is like a ballroom dancer. Quick quick slow. He slows you down, then he's gone past his defender. On his day he’s a genius.

    GOAL Chelsea 2-1 Cardiffpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 15 September 2018

    Eden Hazard (43 mins)

    Chelsea have relaxed since the equaliser. They've been in control the whole time in truth, and now two goals in seven minutes have turned this scoreline on its head.

    Eden Hazard gets the second as he pops up to meet Olivier Giroud's clever, falling lay-off in the box, the Belgian firing in via a deflection. Sometimes you just can't stop them.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Dion Dublin
    Ex-Aston Villa striker on Final Score

    Crystal Palace have had to fight. Wilfried Zaha has been kicked and punched and kept his cool. He's received it out on the wing 20 yards away, Huddersfield have allowed him to run in and shoot, as a right back that's a nightmare.
