Five hits from Brighton to the post and two penalties
The big day in European football opened with an incredible Premier League match between Brighton and Manchester United.
Mancunians on the road won a victory, which was the first for them of the season (3: 2), but it is extremely difficult to call it deserved.
First, the hosts have significantly surpassed their opponents in terms of both shots and shots on target (18: 7 and 5: 3).
Secondly, they hit the opponent's goal posts five times and set a Premier League record for this indicator.
Moreover, the Belgian midfielder of the team Leandro Trossard struck the crossbar and once - in each of the posts, but failed to distinguish himself.
Manchester United, having conceded from a penalty spot, bounced back at the end of the first half after filing a standard.
Lewis Dunk sent the ball into his own net.
And at the beginning of the second half of the meeting, Marcus Rashford beat several opponents at once in someone else's penalty area and brought Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's charges forward.
“Brighton” managed to level the score in the fifth added minute, but it was not over yet.
On the last corner, the guests earned a penalty, although referee Chris Kavanagh had already blown the final whistle.
However, after watching the replay, he appointed a penalty spot for a handball from the home player.
Bruno Fernandes confidently realized it in the tenth added minute.
Solskjaer, after the match, reacted with humor to the luck that accompanied his team.
The coach thanked God for the fact that Jose Mourinho did not come to the match to measure the goal.
The fact is that after the Europa League meeting with the Macedonian “Shkendia” the Portuguese complained that one of the gates was 5 cm less than the norm.
Three West Brom goals in 24 minutes and Thiago Silva's childhood error
Even more unpredictable was the match between West Brom, returning to the Premier League, and Chelsea.
The Londoners were considered the clear favorite of the meeting, but in the end they barely escaped defeat.
At the same time, Frank Lampard's wards conceded three unanswered goals by the 27th minute.
The team's coaching staff replaced the goalkeeper and instead of Kepa Arrisabalagi, who had unsuccessfully played with Liverpool, released Willie Caballero from the first minutes.
However, the Argentine played even worse.
He had to get the shell out of the net three times and did not make a single save.
The defenders of the guests did not act in the best way either.
So, the eminent debutant Thiago Silva out of the blue gave the ball to Callum Robertson, who scored a double.
However, in the second half, Chelsea managed to make an impressive comeback.
This was largely due to the opponent's tactics: West Brom pressed against their own goal.
Lampard's substitutions during the break turned out to be successful as well.
Cesar Azpilicueta provided an assist for Mason Mount, while Callum Hudson-Odoi kept the score to a minimum.
Finally, one point brought the Londoners Tammy Abraham, who ferried the ball into the goal at close range in the third minute added by the referee.
So, for the first time in history, Chelsea managed not to lose in the Premier League match, losing by three goals.
Borussia's first misfire and Augsburg's second win
An unexpected result was also recorded in the Bundesliga, where the second German team at the end of last season, Borussia Dortmund, lost to Augsburg with a score of 0: 2.
Lucien Favre's wards owned the ball for almost 80% of the playing time, struck 16 shots, but could not break through Rafal Gikevich, who made six saves.
However, the yellow-blacks did not often create really dangerous moments.
Young midfielders Jude Bellingham and Giovanni Reyna played not the best match, and Erling Holland got his first chance to excel only in the end.
The opponent, however, approached his moments carefully.
The main hero of the meeting was the Italian midfielder of the hosts Daniel Caligirui.
At the end of the first half, he made an assist to Felix Uduohai from the standard, and immediately after the break he realized a one-on-one exit.
Thus, "Augsburg" managed to take revenge from the opponent for the home defeat against Borussia (3: 5) at the beginning of the year and won a second victory in the first two rounds of the new Bundesliga season.
