Three talking points from the Premier League weekend

Chelsea have started the Premier League season strongly under their new manager, winning both of their first two matches.

According to The National Business and The National UAE, Chelsea took a three-goal lead in the first half through Romeo Lavia, Pedro Neto, and Joao Pedro, but Brighton fought back with goals from Malick Yalcouy and an own goal from Pedro.

Brighton continued to push and Cole Palmer scored for Chelsea to restore their two-goal advantage, but Pascal Gross scored for Brighton with the last kick of the game to make the final score 4-3. The National Business and The National UAE also reported that goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who was making his debut after moving from Aston Villa, said "A win is a win" and that the team needs to keep moving forward.

The Winnipeg Free Press reported that Cole Palmer showed signs of returning to his top form by completing the scoring for Chelsea in the 4-3 win over Brighton. Punch noted that Chelsea and Man City have impressed early in the season, while Liverpool and Tottenham are facing early struggles.
