The first week of the Premier League continued on Saturday, with Manchester City going top thanks to a 4-0 demolition of Wolves.
Pep Guardiola’s men endured a miserable season last season and barely finished third, after failing to win any silverware.
But City have now begun this term in emphatic fashion, thanks to an Erling Haaland brace and debut goals from Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki.
They are ahead of Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur on the table, with both teams winning 3-0 against West Ham and Burnley respectively.
Newcastle were held to a 0-0 draw by 10-man Aston Villa in the early kick off, while Rodrigo Muniz scored a late equalizer as Fulham played out a 1-1 draw at Brighton.
Tomorrow, Arsenal travel to Manchester United, while Chelsea welcome Crystal Palace.
European champions Paris Saint-Germain began the new season by lifting more silverware on Wednesday as they beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup after producing a late comeback to draw the match 2-2.
Spurs looked set to get their hands on the trophy in their first competitive match under new coach Thomas Frank as they led 2-0 just after half-time at the Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy.
Micky van de Ven gave last season’s Europa League winners the lead on 39 minutes and Cristian Romero got their second goal three minutes into the second half.
However, PSG were rescued by two substitutes as Lee Kang-in pulled a goal back in the 85th minute and Goncalo Ramos headed in the equaliser four minutes into injury time.
