James Ward Prowse made a memorable debut for West Ham United, contributing with two assists in their impressive 3-1 victory over Chelsea. The England international, recently acquired from Southampton, showcased his playmaking abilities by setting up goals for his new team. In the match, Ward Prowse’s impact was evident from the start. He provided the crucial assist for Nayef Aguerd’s early opener, delivering a well-placed corner that led to the goal. Later in the game, he demonstrated his skill once again by assisting Michail Antonio’s goal in the 53rd minute, helping West Ham regain the lead after Carney Chukwuemeka’s equalizer for Chelsea. The match ended with Lucas Paqueta securing West Ham’s victory by converting a penalty in injury time. In another notable result, Aston Villa bounced back from their opening-day defeat with a dominant 4-0 win over Everton. John McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey, and Jhon Duran were the goal-scorers in a convincing display by Villa. Manchester City secured a narrow victory against Newcastle United, with Julian Alvarez’s potent first-half strike proving to be the decisive goal. Despite their recent European Supercup match, Pep Guardiola’s team managed to secure the three points, even though their margin of victory could have been wider with better finishing. Tottenham marked Ange Postecoglou’s first home match in charge with a 2-0 win over Manchester United. Despite United’s early dominance, goals from Pape Saar and an own goal by Lisandro Martinez secured the victory for Spurs. Liverpool overcame an early setback against Bournemouth, with Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah scoring to turn the match in their favor. After Alexis Mac Alister’s red card, Diogo Jota extended Liverpool’s lead. Brighton continued their impressive form by defeating Wolverhampton 4-1.
