Summary
The Premier League does not let you down. And nor do Jimbo, Natalie Gedra, Charlie Eccleshare and Daniel Storey.
Brentford batter Man United 4-0 in West London, after a masterclass of pressing and set-piece routine work from Thomas Frank’s Bees. Plenty of problems for Erik ten Hag but hear why Ronaldo must go.
After an absorbing affair, and a handshake for the ages, the spoils are shared between Chelsea and Spurs on Sunday, thanks to Antonio Conte finally having a bench to call upon.
Only Man City and Arsenal have 2 wins out of 2. How far can Jesus take the Gunners? And Forest get lucky at the City Ground but a very promising midfield partnership is blooming.
Plus Werner, Willian and Brighton playing Jenga.
