- Brighton vs West Ham | 1 - 3 (West Ham Win

Beautiful game in london as David Moyes shows Brighton hows it done!! An action packed evening which saw West Ham lead Brighton after just 33 passes at half time. David Moyes didn't just park the bus; he ensured to deal with Brighton away from home and bagged 3 vital points and now top of the league too!!! With signings such as Kudus yet to be integrated to the squad; it promises to be an exciting season for West Ham.

This is a very epic comeback. In my opinion, it must be admitted that in the second half, Man United's game was really cool. The pattern of the game changes very clearly, one or two touch passes are also fun to watch. As soon as Bruno Fernandes became MOTM in that match, he really deserved it because he is everywhere and he is also a hard worker so that in that match he gave 100% of his abilities for Man United.

Antony also looks very good, this is unusual when he plays, he has a lot of variations in building attacks. The entry of players like Lindelof brought calm to the Man United defense. And the most interesting thing for me is Rashford, he played very well and was even able to stab into the opponent's defense and even resulted in a penalty for Man United.

I agree it was an epic comeback from Manchester United after trailing two quick goals from Nottingham in the first 5 minutes. But anyway I think Manchester United made a big mistake in the first half which they shouldn't have made. Even without the penalty and Nottingham's red card, I don't know what the best scenario is to win that game.

Manchester United finally managed to win this game in the end, which is certainly a good thing after a disappointing last week. I was really expecting a good improvement from Manchester United this season after Ten Hag managed to end the season in the top 4 last season. Manchester United deserves to compete for titles instead of competing for top 4.

A draw is a result that Fulham deserved, they worked so hard on the pitch with their defensive strategy, based on match statistics, they only had 28% possession while Arsenal had 72%. I'm sure no one would have thought that Fulham could get 1 point in this match, it's like something that doesn't make sense with all the statistics there.

I agree with you 100% because Arteta was the initial cause of Arsenal's poor performance in the first half. With the type of starting eleven he used at the beginning of the match, it clearly shows that he underrates Fulham, and the result of the match proves him wrong because we fans are not happy with the outcome.

If Arteta does not stop playing this same formation he used in Arsenal's first three matches of this season, Arsenal will be losing some matches they are not supposed to lose. I think the best thing to do is to stick to playing four players in the defence in order to make the team stronger.

This draw is also their first draw in 3 league matches that have been running, in total they have 4 points from 1 draw, 1 win and 1 loss. In their next PL match they will also have an away game at the Etihad Stadium, do you think Fulham can repeat their luck like the result in the match against Arsenal?

No, Manchester City will not misuse any opportunity that comes their way, especially as they have seen clearly how many teams were set to compete for the title against them. I expect a better result from Manchester City, and even though Fulham is a good team with quality players, I don't expect them to take a point at the Etihad stadium.

- Arsenal Vs Fullham | 2 - 2 ( Draw)
- Brighton vs West Ham | 1 - 3 (West Ham Win)

I was just laughing at myself for the results in these 2 matches.
I went multi by listing Brighton, Arsenal and Manchester City as one of my favourites to win this week but the results were really funny for my bets. I was so confident with Brighton and Arsenal especially looking at the first two weeks for their performance but in the end my confidence had to be broken with 2 results that I didn't really expect.
I will still bet on Manchester City but maybe in this case I need to be more controlled now.

Anyway, Tottenham is increasingly consistent with their performance. They were pretty good at ending the game against Bournemouth by not giving them a chance to score any goals. Tottenham's 0 - 2 victory over Bournemouth made Tottenham look better from time to time.

Tottenham would have had more goals should Maddison had been a little less stingy with his second attempt. Richarlison still finding it difficult to replicate what he did for Brazil in his current Tottenham side. Can’t say he ain’t trying or giving it his best but his game plan don’t seem to align.

The game today was on Manchester United and then coming back from a 2 goals down to win by 3 goals something I didn’t see coming. Thought it was all lost but, step by step they managed to fix the pieces and found the net. What I wasn’t quite convinced with by the way was the penalty as I felt it shouldn’t have been given. The touch was very slight although, at the knee makes it look bad but then, that was too minor for me. They worked really hard to earn there 3 points but, it was a close one for them.

[Mame89]

Yes, it's quite shame Arsenal have to share points with Fulham. Even though they played very dominating and attacking. Just look at how many times Arsenal have carried out attacks that can be considered quite dangerous for Fulham. but unfortunately, it still continues to fail. Especially when Fulham only played with 10 players. Arsenal were unable to take advantage of this moment to add to the goal. In fact, on the contrary, the counterattack from Fulham actually made a goal for them even with just 10 players. This is really disappointing.

Superior players apparently could not get Arsenal to get three points in the match against Fulham. One point to be grateful for because Arsenal also didn't deserve to win and didn't deserve to lose either, because many players were off performing. Arteta still doesn't seem to understand that the English league title race with Man City means a draw is as bad as a defeat. If he doesn't return to a system that works well in the next match, then it's not impossible for Arsenal to win the EPL League this season. And it's likely he will see fans will challenge him to quit Arsenal.

In the game against Fulham. Imo Havertz will not start in the next game. Arteta took him off and will probably put him off the bench in the next game. Havertz has been disappointing in his last three games with Arsenal, maybe he is good enough but he has to fight for his place on the bench.

Manchester United were very lucky so they won the match. I am not satisfied with Manchester United's gameplay. Manchester United conceded two stupid goals in just 4 minutes. This is not the kind of performance we want to see from a team like United. However, Manchester United's squad is still quite weak. Despite having many star players in the team, they are not performing well. Looking forward to see how United perform against Arsenal in the upcoming match.
 
United needed an experienced striker this season. But United coach Ten Hag has picked a young striker like Rasmus Hojlund. I look forward to seeing if Hojlund is able to perform well. But I think bringing Hojlund into the team is a bad investment for United this season.

Specifically for Brighton, I saw the performance in the previous two matches, they played very well and also hard and I also think Brighton will continue its winning record. However, West Ham was able to stop Brighton's winning streak at home with a score of 1-3.
It's a shame Arsenal had to end in a draw against Fulham at home, statistically Arsenal excelled in every way and also couldn't take advantage of 10 Fulham players.

Anyway, Tottenham is increasingly consistent with their performance. They were pretty good at ending the game against Bournemouth by not giving them a chance to score any goals. Tottenham's 0 - 2 victory over Bournemouth made Tottenham look better from time to time. however, this is just the start of a very early season, it would be great if Tottenham remained consistent to always excel in every game optimally. But, this may not be easy because there will be many more difficult matches in the future that should be faced.

The match between Arsenal vs Fulham was quite tough because both teams were able to put a lot of pressure in this match which was able to make the audience amazed by this match. For Arsenal they had many golden opportunities in this match but they could not finish them to become goals. Indeed, For Fulham they were very lucky in this match because playing away from home against a big team would certainly be quite difficult for them, but they were able to end this match by gaining 1 point.

In other matches I was also surprised to see the good performance of the West Ham team at the start of this season because they were able to get full points when they traveled to Brighton headquarters. In this match they were able to make the audience present at the stadium silent because they were able to score 3 goals and lock in victory at the end of the match with a score of 1-3.

[3meek]

Nottingham Forest are showing great results despite losing two games, but they played great... They managed to score two goals to Man U and one goal to Arsenal, and could have drawn those two games, but luck was not on their side... I think that with weaker opponents they will have a good chance to gain points...

The result of the weekend game indeed is funny but then,  this is football,  anything can happen and for that, I was not surprised to see Aserbal playing a 2:2 draw with Fulham this afternoon,  and those who have had high confidence in Asernal like yourself where all disappointed but then also Manchester united narrowly won their game with a 3:2 goals and winning with just one goal difference was a bit a risky and Man united must seat up against next match if their want to improve on the last season performance and position in the premier leagues.

Matchday 3 results in EPL

- Chelsea vs Luton Town | 3 - 0 (Chelsea won)
  ~~
  ~~
- Arsenal Vs Fullham | 2 - 2 ( Draw)
- Manchester United vs Nottinghm Forest | 3 - 2 ( Manchester United won)

For the Chelsea match, they should have won this match, because Luton Town is not a strong team. This victory should be a big motivation for Chelsea to go through other matches with satisfying results.

Arsenal Vs Fullham, this fight is beyond my expectations. although I don't do research and predict the outcome of the game. but I didn't expect Fulham to be able to score an early goal, even though in the end Arsenal were able to equalise. After they took the lead in the 72nd minute, Arteta's men should have been able to defend the match until the end and it was a victory for them. unfortunately, Fulham were able to equalize to 2-2. although in truth, tactically Arsenal are even much better than their opposing team.
even referring to statistics, the Gunners controlled the game with 72% ball possession. 19 total shots, 11 on target, 4 big chances, but the end result has to be a draw. not something that is satisfying for Arteta, he has to improve the strength of his defensive line. also, sharpening his front line. maybe with the recovery of G.Jesus, Arsenal can make him back as the main choice in the center forward position.

Manchester United vs Nottinghm Forest, as I said United will win this fight. but in this fight, my prediction was far off the mark. I said posted earlier, if United will win the game with a final score of 2-0. but in fact, Forest even took the lead first. fortunately, Erik Ten Hag's squad was able to turn things around and in the end won this fight. but for the record Ten Hag has homework to do, that Manchester United still has a lot of shortcomings. Next, it is hoped that United will be able to develop in the next matches.

I think that with weaker opponents they will have a good chance to gain points...

They didnt have luck because they played against really good teams but could have taken points from both Arsenal and Man Utd. I think if they play like this they will stay in the league for sure. They arent looking like a team that will get relegated like Luton does.

The defeats to Manchester United was a big slap on the faces of the visitors. Steve Coorper actually have alot of work to do this new season, despite his brilliant performance against elite clubs, there's blunders occurring at the backlines and need to strengthen with immediate time. Nottingham forest are ranked 14th on the league table, perhaps they need time to improved this season. Checking the statistics of today's game, they made spectacular performance in the first halve, but things blow out of proportions in the second halve, united had good goal scoring chances and they utilized them well.

Yes, to be honest, their advantage in the very early minutes really surprised everyone. I think Man United might be overwhelmed later. But after the draw, this changed. Especially when Worrall from Nottm Forest got injured. Man United really could optimize this opportunity. Even though the third goal was obtained from a penalty kick, in the end they were able to win full points, after previously being abandoned in the early minutes. However, it cannot be denied that Nottm Forest actually played quite well.

[imamusma]

Of course, this was a disappointing day for Arsenal and their supporters. Imagine, instead of being able to defend the victory when winning 2-1 over their opponent who played with 10 players, Arsenal actually conceded the second goal which made them have to accept the bitter reality because they drew 2-2 at visiting Fulham.

Yes, it's quite shame Arsenal have to share points with Fulham. Even though they played very dominating and attacking. Just look at how many times Arsenal have carried out attacks that can be considered quite dangerous for Fulham. but unfortunately, it still continues to fail.

In fact, on the contrary, the counterattack from Fulham actually made a goal for them even with just 10 players. This is really disappointing.

It was a surprise for Arsenal, who basically have good confidence in every match. Fulham, with their successful defensive strategy, made Arsenal lose full points in the third week of the match, even worse, Arsenal had to concede a goal when Fulham only played with 10 players.

I'm not sure what to say to express the disappointment of the fans, but this draw is very disappointing. I honestly don't think Arsenal will drop full points this week, but I think Arsenal have done enough over the last few seasons. This is related to Arsenal's mentality and readiness to face pressure, but they still failed.

Anyway, Tottenham is increasingly consistent with their performance

Tottenham managed to collect 6 points from the last 2 matches, of course that is an encouraging result. But this I believe is that they are unlikely to be expected to be this consistent as the Premier League goes on.

[Ulven]

Beautiful game in london as David Moyes shows Brighton hows it done!! An action packed evening which saw West Ham lead Brighton after just 33 passes at half time. David Moyes didn't just park the bus; he ensured to deal with Brighton away from home and bagged 3 vital points and now top of the league too!!! With signings such as Kudus yet to be integrated to the squad; it promises to be an exciting season for West Ham.

In addition to overseeing the defence, David Moyes successfully manipulated Brighton and exerted his authority over the game even away from West Ham's home field. They gained 3 very important points from this victory, which also helped them go to the top of the league standings. The season is made even more thrilling by intriguing signings like Codus, who hasn't yet been incorporated into the team.

Brighton will face a struggle as a result of this loss, forcing them to improve their play in following games and aim for victory.

kudos to Tottenham who have surprised us all this seaonuwith how well they have been able to cope without their main player for many seasons, talking about Harry Kane. Maybe Tottenham will win the premier league this season or do so well that they qualify for the champions League next season because they have started this season so we'll even better than most of the top teams. I sincerely expected Tottenham to struggle to find balance, but they are doing so well even without Harry Kane. I like the mindset that this new coach has brought to the team.

This was actually like a tale of what happens in football, the dominant team doesn’t goes home every time with the full points. Football sometimes is just too unpredictable, who would have thought that a team with more than 80% of the ball possession will not only just drop points but lose the match. In the entire match WestHam had just 4 goals on target and 3 resulted into goals. We can simply call this share luck for WestHam and dismay for Brighton but I would rather call it a hard fought victory for WestHam

This season WestHam have brought Ward prowes into the team and with the pacey attack of Benrahama, Antonio and Bowen we are going to see lots of great counter attacking football from the squad. Ward Prowes is good at setting the tune up and the attacker are just clinical which was also displayed against Chelsea

Yes, to be honest, their advantage in the very early minutes really surprised everyone. I think Man United might be overwhelmed later. But after the draw, this changed. Especially when Worrall from Nottm Forest got injured. Man United really could optimize this opportunity. Even though the third goal was obtained from a penalty kick, in the end they were able to win full points, after previously being abandoned in the early minutes. However, it cannot be denied that Nottm Forest actually played quite well.

Worral didn’t got injured but rather was sent off for a hash tackle on Bruno to deny him through on goal. The red card was actually debatable because it was seeing that it was a mere tumble between the two players. Overall Nottm Forest played excellent well but a resurgent Manchester United provided a great comeback. To be sincere this one of the best performances by United players of recent.

[tiCeR]

Actually, Tottenham have surely shown that even without Harry Kane, they can perform well. Manchester United surprised me with their performance in the match. I didn't expect them to be poor like that. They did not put in any chemistry that will give people assurance that we can think they will play effectively this season.

Indeed, we could say that, maybe their performance has decreased quite a bit because after all their line of attack, especially their spearhead, is not as strong as Harry Kane. However, based on their first two matches, they looked quite solid and performed well. Especially against Man United, they looked quite impressive. I think Tottenham will have big difficulties against Man United, especially with the purchase of several Man United players who might also have an influence here, however, Tottenham can really handle it very well. even made Man United unable to score a goal at all even though they attacked several times

That's what I thought too when Harry Kane left. When they played against Manchester United I had a feeling that that will be the game that tells us where Tottenham Hotspurs is at and whether they are able to replace Harry Kane good enough to still be taken seriously by teams like Manchester United. And there you go. They haven't just been lucky against Manchester or anything like that. They were absolutely on par with them and played a great game on a top level that was not to be expected after Harry Kane left them. I think they did a much better job than Manchester United who haven't really lost a key player like Kane was for Tottenham. I think ten Haag also thought that the game is going to have a better ending for them than that.

The current manager of Tottenham Hotspur Ange Postecoglou has shown that he's a very skilled and experienced manager who can successfully bring out the best from his Tottenham squad without the presence of Harry Kane at the club.  
That being said, I think the effect of losing a big player like Harry Kane who's been the club's seasonal top score for almost a decade will be definitely felt in the nearest future by the club. Harry Kane has been very instrumental to the progress and positive results of the club for a long period of time and would definitely be missed

Ok I wasn't aware that Postecoglou is such an amazing manager. How many titles has he won? I tried to find anything, but couldn't. I think I just trust your knowledge and believe that he is the right man and very skilled.

If you can deliver some substance to back up your post then please share it here.

I think that the best everyone can do is to give him a chance and be neutral for now unless someone really knows more about Postecoglou. I think he is yet to earn some merits and he is doing good so far because once Kane was gone I think most thought that Tottenham would have severe problems with scoring, but they are getting it done.
