London (AFP)
And two! Liverpool, winner at Southampton (2-1), like Arsenal, Burnley's scorer a little earlier (2-1), continued on Saturday to win on day two of the Premier League.
Reds and Gunners settle at the top of the standings pending the clash between Manchester City and Tottenham later Saturday (16:30 GMT).
. Liverpool: without forcing on the south coast
All rolls for Liverpool: nothing seems to be able to stop the champions of Europe at the beginning of the season, not even fatigue.
Jürgen Klopp and his men have indeed continued to win despite the trip to Istanbul and the European Supercup midweek.
Norwich winners in their opening match (4-1), they did not tremble in Southampton.
Sadio Mané, who scored twice on Wednesday against Chelsea, opened the scoring just before half-time. Facing his former club, the Senegalese then served Roberto Firmino for 2-0.
Adrian, finally fit after a fear related to an injury contracted in Turkey, then committed a ball to let the Saints come back late in the game. The lining of Alisson Becker cleared directly on Danny Ings, the ball then spinning in the goal of the Reds, for an error ultimately inconsequential.
. Arsenal: winning duo
Already victors in Newcastle (1-0) on the first day, the Gunners managed to get rid of tough Clarets thanks to an excellent Dani Ceballos and their pair of attackers Alexandre Lacazette / Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, both scorers.
Unai Emery had decided to trust his recruits, they shone. Ceballos, the playmaker from Real Madrid, enlightened the game of his class actions, delivered two assists and received a standing ovation when he came out late in the game. David Luiz has been solid in defense, in addition to raising with precision.
At home, the Londoners have imposed themselves logically, even if they were a little shaken after the equalization of Barnes before the break.
Absent on the opening day, Lacazette opened the scoring with a real goal from center-forward, shooting down to deceive Pope (13th).
Aubameyang, already a striker in Newcastle, has put his team in front after an acceleration in the heart of the defense (64th).
. Pukki sees triple
Crushed by Liverpool on the first day (4-1), the Norwich promoted rebounded with the way. The Canaries beat Newcastle (3-1) with a hat-trick of Teemu Pukki. The Finn is leading the scoring charts with four goals in two games.
