Ruthless Arsenal deliver Fulham reality check on opening dayArsenal eased into the new season with a comfortable 3-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Mikel Arteta’s side enjoyed a pleasant afternoon beside the Thames after Alexandre Lacazette opened the scoring from close range in the ninth minute.

Gabriel Magalhaes, the defender signed from Lille this summer, added a second with a powerful header from a corner four minutes into the second half. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang confirmed the away side’s supremacy with an excellent strike after 57 minutes. Arsenal will face tougher opposition but Arteta’s team, who lined up in a 3-4-3 formation, were much too good for Fulham.

For Scott Parker it was a grim opening to the campaign. The home side showed little going forward and were hapless at the back.

Arsenal began the match with a bit of comedy defending of their own. Magalhaes started his career in England with a David Luiz moment. Kieran Tierney stumbled over the ball and pushed it out wide under pressure, giving Ainsley Maitland-Niles little option but to pass back towards his own goal. The ball rolled close to Magalhaes, who should have cleared, but the 22-year-old let it run. Aboubakar Kamara was on to the ball in a flash but Bernd Leno was equally alert and smothered the chance.
It was a surprise that Scott Parker left Aleksandar Mitrovic on the bench but it was quickly apparent why. The Serb lacks mobility. Fulham’s plan was to press the Arsenal defenders when they were in possession. Magalhaes’ error suggested that it might have worked.

Both teams are committed to playing out from the back, even when circumstances appear to demand an agricultural hoof. This made for entertaining but somewhat scatterbrained action. Fulham struggled to establish a pattern and Arsenal became more coherent as they grew into the game. Arteta’s system allows the wing backs to range forward with impunity. There were early signs of a potentially impressive partnership between Hector Bellerin and Willian on the right. The Brazilian changed the point of attack by drifting wide to the byline, allowing Bellerin to charge down the inside channel. Fulham were unable to cut off this threat down the flank. Those who lobbied for Nicholas Pepe to be selected over Willian had their arguments undermined by the former Chelsea man.

Willian came close to adding a second when he rapped a free kick against the foot of the post. Aubameyang then tested Rodak after Tierney lobbed into the area. Fulham struggled to deal with obvious balls from near the halfway line.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp calls  a 4:3 win over Leeds ‘proper spectacle’

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp called his team’s 4-3 win over Leeds United a “proper spectacle” from both teams as the Premier League returned to action on Saturday.

Promoted Leeds, back in the top flight after 16 years, fought back from a goal down on three occasions but Liverpool emerged with the three points after an 88th minute penalty from hat-trick hero Mohamed Salah.

What a game, what an opponent, what a performance from both teams. A proper spectacle, I loved that,” Klopp said after the match as his team extended their home unbeaten streak in the league to 60 games.

“It is pretty rare you see that many goals in a game, we have left space for improvement in our defending but that is not unusual for a first game. Our players have played a few days ago for their countries so it is possible.”
