In the second week of the Premier League comes the first victory for Manchester United, 5-2 in the overthrow of Ipswich Town. Davis gives hope to the guests in the 29th minute, while the “Red Devils” overturn the match thanks to a hat-trick from Bruno Fernandes, an own goal from Greaves and a goal from Mbeumo. Meanwhile, Chelsea remains with full points, which, with the exception of a few moments of blackout, dominates in the crazy 4-3 victory over Brighton: Lavia, Pedro Neto, Joao Pedro and Palmer scored for the “Blues”.
MANCHESTER UNITED – IPSWICH
Manchester United needed captain Bruno Fernandes to secure their first win of the season, with a remarkable hat-trick in a 5-2 win over Ipswich Town at Old Trafford. The Red Devils started well, but just before half an hour into the game, the visitors managed to break the deadlock: Issahaku's assist for Davis' goal in the 29th minute, which brought the score to 1-0. The nightmare of a possible defeat to a newly promoted team immediately returns to Old Trafford, after a disappointing debut against Hull City, but Bruno Fernandes thinks of saving the Red Devils. The Portuguese immediately equalizes in the 40th minute, bringing the game to 1-1 at the break.
In the 56th minute, Carrick's team's reversal is complete: Maguire touches the ball in the area and finds Greaves' deflection, who takes goalkeeper Scherpen out of the game and scores into his own goal. After the 2-1 goal, Bruno Fernandes' spectacle can resume: in the 60th minute he scores his third from the penalty spot, while in the 68th minute he gets the ball of the match, scoring 4-1 after a long action, started by the shots of Mainoo and Mbeumo. The former Brentford player then closes the accounts in the 82nd minute, with the 5-1 goal after the assist, again, of Bruno Fernandes. In the end, there is also space for Akpom's goal in the 91st minute, which makes the defeat somewhat less severe for the guests. The first three points for Manchester United, while Ipswich remains exactly at the 3-point quota.
CHELSEA – BRIGHTON
Excellent start for the technician Xabi Alonso on the Chelsea bench, with the 4-3 victory over Brighton in the second week and the preservation of full points. A furious start for the “Blues”, who take the lead in the fourth minute with a goal from Lavia. Ten minutes later comes the doubling: Pedro Neto receives the assist from Morgan Rogers and scores 2-0 before the first quarter is over. After half an hour of play, Joao Pedro also joins the celebration. It is his right-footed shot on the counterattack that brings 3-0 in the 32nd minute. The “Seagulls” look surrendered, but three minutes later they find the strength to narrow the difference thanks to Yalcouyé.
After the break, Hurzeler's team continued to push and in the 63rd minute came even closer thanks to an own goal by Joao Pedro. Debutant Martinez saved the score several times for the Londoners, who in the 74th minute delivered the decisive blow: a powerful shot by Cole Palmer from outside the area, which brought the score to 4-2 and restored the home team to a two-goal advantage. Martinez was again the protagonist with several other very good saves, before Gross's goal for 4-3 in the 96th minute, when it was already too late. Chelsea won and climbed to 6 points, while Brighton remained with 3.
