Five-star City make statement, Kane seals late Spurs win

Raheem Sterling’s hat-trick fired City to a crushing victory as they more than matched title rivals Liverpool’s 4-1 hammering of Norwich City on Friday.

Champions Manchester City delivered an emphatic statement of intent with a 5-0 thrashing of West Ham United as they began their bid for a hat-trick of Premier League title on Saturday.

FULL-TIME | Can't argue with that start! ?

Fantastic win to start the new season. Congrats Tanguy on the debut goal. #COYS pic.twitter.com/qR9P8jXzBU— Harry Kane (@HKane) August 10, 2019

Tottenham Hotspur, the only side to keep pace with City and Liverpool last season before falling away and finishing a distant fourth, began their campaign with a 3-1 home victory over Aston Villa — Harry Kane scoring two late goals.

How was your #PL Saturday...? pic.twitter.com/XLSkh4aiji— Premier League (@premierleague) August 10, 2019

There were also impressive wins for Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening Saturday of the season while Sheffield United marked their return to the Premier League by picking up a point at Bournemouth.

Champions League winners Liverpool, who finished one point behind City in an epic title race last season, lit the touchpaper at Anfield but Pep Guardiola’s City, as they seemingly always manage to do, stole the limelight.

A stellar display of clinical, attacking football! ⚡️

Brazilian Gabriel Jesus, preferred to Sergio Aguero in attack, opened the scoring in the 25th minute and Sterling made it 2-0 six minutes after the interval with a cool finish after being put through by Kevin De Bruyne.

Jesus became the first player to have a goal disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the Premier League when, in the 53rd minute, he finished off Sterling’s pass following a fine move. However, the VAR adjudged Sterling had been offside.

bro why is this VAR ting so mad at meee ?? still happy with the three goals & moreover with a great victory to start the new season... Let the race begin ?? @ManCity pic.twitter.com/P02J5K7A1K— Raheem Sterling (@sterling7) August 10, 2019

VAR, making its Premier League debut this season, was used again to review and validate Sterling’s second and the video staff were busy again in the 84th minute when Aguero’s soft penalty was saved but VAR ruled that Declan Rice was encroaching into the box and referee Mike Dean ordered a re-take.

The Argentine scored before Sterling completed his hat-trick in stoppage time — the first player to do so on the opening weekend of the Premier League since Didier Drogba in 2010.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW@ManCity have won their last 15 #PL matches - only the second time a team has won as many in a row, with Pep Guardiola's side also holding the record (18 between Aug-Dec 2017) pic.twitter.com/HLptIlLMGY— Premier League (@premierleague) August 10, 2019

City have now won 15 Premier League games in a row.

“I cannot deny it, I’m delighted to win 5-0 away from home in the first game,” said Guardiola, who felt his side had been sloppy in the first half at the London Stadium.

“The rhythm was not there but that’s normal for the first game. In the second half we were better, we were more calm, we played extra passes. After we went 3-0 up the game was over.”

HOME START

Tottenham were playing at home on the opening weekend for the first time in eight seasons but Villa, back in the top flight after a three-season absence, led through John McGinn’s ninth-minute strike and hung on grimly.

Debutant Tanguy Ndombele, Tottenham’s record signing, struck a 73rd minute equalise though and Kane punished a tiring Villa side with two clinical strikes.

"If I look back at where I've come from, to be here today making my @premierleague debut is something special.

To play in this amazing stadium with some great players and score my first goal - everything was perfect."

That condemned Villa captain Jack Grealish to his 19th Premier League defeat in a row, the longest losing run of any player in the competition’s history.

Brighton made an excellent start under new boss Graham Potter with a surprise 3-0 win at Watford — thanks to an own goal from Abdoulaye Doucoure and second-half strikes by forwards Florin Andone and Neal Maupay.

Ashley Barnes has netted 34 #PL goals for @BurnleyOfficial, 14 more than any other player for the club#BURSOU pic.twitter.com/qMprWv5QAE— Premier League (@premierleague) August 10, 2019

Ashley Barnes struck twice as Sean Dyche’s Burnley beat Southampton 3-0 in a meeting of two of last season’s strugglers at a wet and windswept Turf Moor.

Icelandic winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson added the third on a disappointing day for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side.

Sheffield United were the only newly-promoted team to earn a point on the opening weekend.

Easier opposition, yes, but they'll take it. ⚔️ pic.twitter.com/yzG0ZvaPkR— Squawka Football (@Squawka) August 10, 2019

Local boy Billy Sharp came off the bench for Sheffield United to earn a share of the spoils in their first Premier League game since 2007 as they drew 1-1 t Bournemouth. Defender Chris Mepham had put the Cherries ahead in the 62nd minute.

If you don’t win, make sure you don’t lose!

Good point ?? #CPFC pic.twitter.com/iTEHohE398— Andros Townsend (@andros_townsend) August 10, 2019

Everton’s investments have raised hopes of a top-six challenge but they had to settle for a point at Crystal Palace after missing a series of chances in a 0-0 draw.
