Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri got off to a winning Premier League start as new signing Jorginho slotted home coolly from the penalty spot in a 3-0 win at Huddersfield today. Tottenham also made light of discontent over their lack of summer transfer activity by resisting a late Newcastle onslaught to win 2-1 at St. James's Park thanks to goals from Jan Vertonghen and Dele Alli.
Watford, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace also picked up 2-0 wins on the opening weekend of the season.

Chelsea have endured a turbulent pre-season with Sarri sworn in to replace fellow Italian Antonio Conte less than a month before the campaign got underway. The Londoners also smashed their transfer record and set a new world record fee for a goalkeeper in splashing 80 million euros (Pound 72 million, USD 92 million) on Kepa Arrizbalaga this week after Thibaut Courtois departed for Real Madrid.
