Frank Lampard got his first win as Chelsea Manager. Club Legend turned Manager Frank Lampard had to wait two games before getting his first league win of the season. The win didn't come easy as it the result was not certain until the final minutes of the game.

Chelsea faced Norwich away in what many expected to be an entertaining match. The match lived up to its billing with 2 goals recorded in just 6 minutes of play. That set the tone for the rest of the match. Both teams attacked with the intention of scoring the next goal. Their efforts paid off as the first half ended with the scores level at 2-2.

4 goals in the first half is something most fans will love. Fans love goals in abundance. Chelsea went on to dominate the match in the second half and were duly rewarded with a fine goal from Tammy Abraham. That sealed the match and they held on to the 3-2 win.

Manchester united

Solskjaer will be regretting Lukaku sale now. They dominated their match against Crystal palace for longer periods but couldn't get the much needed goals. Martial continued in his number 9 position and Crystal palace showed Solskjaer that Martial is not a threat to teams that defend deep.

Manchester united need a striker that will use his strength to disturb the Crystal palace defenders therefore giving Rashford and Martial chance to operate effectively. The match was a replica of Wolves Vs Manchester united. Martial wasn't given much space to hold the ball and run. The lack of quality replacement is also a concern and could see Manutd lose crucial points.

Arsenal

Same old Arsenal with same old defensive problems. Unai Emery set up the team in a counter attacking formation with the players playing Narrow. This affords the Liverpool full backs to enough space to cross in. Most of the crosses were dealt with excellently. The game looks balance and destined for a first half draw until Matip header changed everything.

Arsenal never got back into the game again. A penalty kick courtesy of David Luiz foul on Salah saw the game change course with Liverpool in the driving seat. Salah added one more and it's definitely game over. This is not Brendan Rodgers Liverpool that you can equalise 3-3. They got a consolation goal from Torreira and that was it. Game over.

Arsenal lost 3-1 at Anfield. It was a well deserved loss as they were second best in all departments. Goodluck to Arsenal.
