Chelsea kicked off the weekend with their most complete performance under Enzo Maresca, dispatching West Ham at the London Stadium:
- First Half Blitz: Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring in the 4th minute, slipping through West Ham’s high defensive line and finishing from a tight angle past Alphonse Areola. Fourteen minutes later, Moises Caicedo threaded a through ball that Jackson poked home with outside-of-the-boot precision.
- Cole Palmer’s Seal: Two minutes into the second half, Jackson turned provider on a rapid counter-attack, releasing Cole Palmer to fire a left-footed strike into the top corner. Chelsea controlled 62% possession to secure three consecutive away league victories.
2. Liverpool 3 – 0 Bournemouth: Anfield Attacking Fireworks
Arne Slot’s Liverpool rebounded in emphatic fashion, dismantling Bournemouth within an 11-minute first-half burst:
- Luis Diaz Stunner: Luis Diaz capitalized on an errant Kepa Arrizabalaga clearance, controlling a long ball from Ibrahima Konate to slot into an empty net in the 26th minute. Two minutes later, Trent Alexander-Arnold fed Diaz for his second.
- Darwin Nunez Redemption: Starting his first league match of the season, Darwin Nunez cut inside from the right flank and curled an unstoppable left-footed missile in off the far post, moving Liverpool temporarily to the summit of the table.
