A lad who, before arriving in the Premier League, had only managed a certain Bavarian club Pippinsrid and St. Pauli on his island debut showed that Brighton did not choose him as Robert de Zerbi's successor by chance.
Fabian Hirzeler, the youngest expert in the history of the Premier League and a guy who is only 31 years old, made a perfect debut on the "Seagulls" bench - with a convincing triumph against Everton at "Goodison" (3:0).
The first victory for their new coach was signed by Kaoru Mitoma, Deni Velbek and Simon Adingra.
Manchester United and Liverpool opened the new Premier League season with victories, and the answer came immediately from another giant...
Arsenal announced that they will be a great rival of Manchester City in the championship race this season as well - Mikel Arteta's men beat Wolverhampton 2:0, and in some moments they showed that they know how to defend.
The "Gunners" led with a goal by Kai Haverc in the 25th minute, at the beginning of the second half they suffered a period of good play by the "wolves", but Bukajo Saka put an end to this game in the 74th minute - the guy who was the assistant for the first goal.
Newcastle also had a big triumph at the start of the season, first of all because they played with ten men from the 28th minute of the game against Southampton after Fabian Scher was sent off.
Edi Hau's team did not "lose their heads" after that, they waited for their chance, and it arrived at the end of the first half when Joelington scored.
An exciting match was seen at "City Ground" - Nottingham Forest led against Bournemouth with a goal by Chris Wood, and Antoine Semenho made the final 1:1 in the 87th minute.
Villa in rhythm from last season
The island was waiting with special interest for the match against Aston Villa, the team that shone last season and won the Champions League.
Unaj Emery's boys visited the ambitious West Ham in London and showed that they are still in great rhythm - Vila won 2:1 with goals from Amadu Onana and Đon Duran.
The reinforced "Hammers" with new coach Đulen Lopetegui did not shine, and they scored the only goal from a penalty through Lukas Paketa.
