Tottenham and Chelsea continue strongly, Everton still struggles

Tonight's games gave us one surprise and that can be counted either as riser team Burnley's strong play or Everton's continueing struggle to perform. Burnley took another one goal victory against a team considered much stonger at their homefield. Elliott scored Burnley's goal at the 34th minute of the match. And just like in the game against ManU opponent couldn't score even from penalty kick as Saha kicked the penalty wide. Way to go Burnley.

Tottenham took third victory of the season and climbed to number one spot in Premier league table. Team was already behind one goal as West Ham's striker Cole scored a goal in the beginning of the first half. But it was goals by Defoe and Lennon which carried the team into another win.

Chelsea played against Fulham and gave the home team no chance what so ever. Chelsea's striker pair Drogba and Anelka both scored one and gave one assist as Chelsea took second win of the season with score 0-2. And with many high class players even in reserve it seems even injuries couldn't stop this train from heading towards their ultimate goal of the season, the championship.

English Premier League Results Saturday gameweek 1

The first matches of Premier League Fantasy Football have been played, and it's time check how did the teams do.

The real season opener Chelsea vs Hull was Didier Drogba's game. The player from Ivory Coast scored two goals and turned the game for the Blues. Hull took the lead with newcomer Stephen Hunt's goal while the matchclock was on the 27th minute. Ten minutes later Drogba evened out the score with a nice freekick from 25 yards. Chelsea had to wait for the game-winning goal way into overtime, but Drogba's second goal gave them the three points they were after.

Didier Drogba was the matches point-shark with 12 points, he would of had 13 without the yellow card he was given.

Saturdays last game was perhaps the most anticipated match of the day. Everton vs Arsenal. Everton continued the trend to start the season with lousy perfomance and lost 1-6.

Arsenal opened the match strongly and the goal that was in the air came in the 26th minute when Denilson put the ball on the net from Fabregas' assist. After that Everton really doubled their efforts, but they couldn't keep up with Arsenals fast midfielders. In half-time the match was 0-2 due to Vermaelen's debut goal he headed in from Van Persies freekick.

The second half was all Arsenal's show and the score in the end was 1-6. Embarrassing opener for Everton and truly great beginning for Arsenal, who even while only the first game played, seems like a team ready to fight for the championship.

Game's and the whole season openening day's star was Francesc Fabregas, 2 goals and 2 assist gained the midfielder unbelievable 22 points. Now he would have made a great captain for my Fantasy Premier League team...
