Ruben Neves has been the hottest topic since before the start of this season due to his heroics for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Championship.

The Wanderers began their 2018-19 Premier League campaign with an opener against an Everton side managed by Marco Silva backed by a stunning transfer business.

Toffees' new big-money signing Richarlison scored a debut goal to put his side on the front but his goal was cancelled by a better one from Ruben Neves from 20 yards with a brilliant free-kick effort.

After an embarrassing defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion on road, struggling Manchester United welcomed Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. The Red Devils' defensive fragilities came under spotlights against the Seagulls and it was expected that Mourinho's struggling backline are in for a tough night against Harry Kane and co.

It was a disappointing start from the Red Devils as they found themselves on the backfoot from the start of this intriguing fixture. Spurs continued their dominance and immense command that resulted in a brilliant header scored by Harry Kane.

Further, the North London club ran rampant as Lucas Moura further stole the show by scoring a brace in the second half and his second, a stunning solo effort, was truly sumptuous.

The Cottagers had a stunning transfer window as they splashed around £100 million cash to seal the services of some of the hot properties of the transfer market. Jean Michael Seri's deal came out as quite surprising one as Premier League heavyweights Arsenal and Chelsea reported to be keen on him.

After a tough start to the life in Premier League facing back to back losses, Fulham welcomed Burnley with a primary aim to make something out of their third game in the top flight.

Just four minutes into the game at Craven Cottage, Fulham's big money new signing, Jean Michael Seri opened his account in Premier League in a stunning fashion. The midfielder hit a thunderous strike from around 30 yards to force give his side a positive start against Burnley.

After a rocky start to the life at Premier League, Unai Emery slowly started his revolution at Emirates and it started to produce some very tangible effects.

Arsenal travelled to Fulham with an aim to seal the 6th consecutive win in Premier League. Alexandre Lacazatte scored his second in the second half after Andre Schurlle cancelling his first.

With Arsenal leading, on the 67th-minute mark, Aaron Ramsey, came off the bench to replace Alex Iwobi.

From the minute he arrived, the Welshman quickly adapted to the game. With some stunning footwork and agility, Ramsey himself initiated and made a beautiful goal with just his second touch of the ball. It was a great team goal and glimpses of old Arsenal were seen.

After suffering from the first defeat in the 2018-19 campaign from the hands of Chelsea in the Carabao Cup at Anfield, Liverpool entered the glorious stage of Stamford Bridge with a mission to get back from the loss and to have some glimpse of revenge.

But a first-half goal from the in-form Eden Hazard saw Chelsea take the lead. Liverpool was creating and creating but somehow lacked decisiveness in the final third. The intense fixture produced a beautiful end to end football but the best was yet to come.

Ex-Chelsea man, Daniel Sturridge came off the bench and went on to net a stellar strike that Kepa Arrizbalaga had nothing to do about. It was some strike and earned a hard-fought point for the Reds on the road.
