It has been fun all through the weekend for the lovers of the English premier league, especially on Saturday when 5 away teams won out of 6 games played. It was interesting although I must admit that it was tough seeing Crystal Palace beat my lovely team on home turf.

There are new records broken and stats made too, I would be bringing a few.
Tammy Abraham is the first English Striker to score for Chelsea since Daniel Sturridge in 2012
Saturday was the first time two English players aged 21 or under have scored in a Premier league match for Chelsea since 22nd August 1992.
Sheffield United are on a losing streak against Leicester City, have not won the last 6 games (D2 L4).
Sergio Aguero and David Silva have now combined for 27 goals in the premier league – the only duos to combine for more are Thierry Henry & Robert Pires (29) and Didier Drogba & Frank Lampard (36).
Harry Wilson (22y 156d) is the youngest player to score in his first two Premier League appearances since September 2015, when Anthony Martial did so for Manchester United (19y 289d).
Kevin De Bruyne has now made 50 assists in the Premier League, achieving this milestone in the fewest appearances of any other player in the competition’s history (123), Ozil (141), Eric Cantona (143)
No Premier League fixture has seen more goals than matches between Liverpool and Arsenal (155 goals in 54 games)
Manchester United are only the second team to win a penalty in each of their first three matches of a Premier League season, after Chelsea in 2012-13.
