Recap
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte hasn't missed his start to the Premier League season, as the Blues enter the international break with three wins under their belt. Burnley barely troubled Chelsea on Saturday, and by half-time, the match already appeared to be decided.
Per the club's official Twitter account, Conte wishes the international break didn't happen so soon:
Hazard gave the Blues a deserved early lead, and when Ivanovic doubled their advantage after 41 minutes, the Clarets all but gave up on the contest.
Chelsea shut things down after the break and found a third goal through Moses, enough to move the club up to first place in the standings.
As shared by Match of the Day, Kevin Kilbane was mightily impressed:
Marcus Rashford was the hero for United, bagging a late goal to keep the team's perfect streak alive in Hull.
The Red Devils served up a bland, uninspiring outing for 90 minutes, with few players standing out. Eric Bailly put together another solid performance, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic couldn't find an opening and Wayne Rooney continued his poor start to the season.
He ran into a booking for dissent as well, which is becoming a regular occurrence in the Premier League this season, per Bleacher Report UK:
But deep into extra time, Rashford powered home a cross from close range to hand his team all three points and the perfect start to the campaign.
Watford barely troubled Arsenal, who took an early lead after Cazorla converted a penalty and scored twice more in the final minutes of the first half. First, Sanchez produced a gorgeous lob that only just crossed the goal line, before Ozil headed home from close range.
Debutant Roberto Pereyra pulled one back for the Hornets after the break, but Watford never came close to a second goal.
Per Unibet, there was even more good news for Gunner fans after the match, as manager Arsene Wenger confirmed both Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez will be joining the club:
Liverpool and Tottenham squared off in Saturday's early match and shared the spoils, with Milner opening the score and Rose salvaging a point. The result leaves both clubs out of the top five entering the break, but this early in the season, it's not time to start panicking yet.
Champions Leicester City grabbed a win over Swansea, and Everton beat Stoke City thanks to an own goal from Shay Given.
