Opening day of new season

Chelsea survived the opening day of the new season with a stoppage time winner from Didier Drogba. The striker equalised after debutant Stephen Hunt gave the visitors a first-half lead at Stamford Bridge. He later admit that he was lucky and his winning goal was trying to setup a teammate, and it went into goal.

Big spender Manchester City got off to a winning start with a 2 nil win at Ewood Park. Former Arsenal striker Adebayor needed only 3 mins to open his scoring for his new club. Last season unsung hero, Stephen Ireland killed off hopes for Rovers as he scored in the closing minute.

Arsenal went to the top of the table after trashing Everton 6 - 1. They lead Everton 3 nil at halftime with goals from Denilson, new boy Vermaelen and Gallas. Fabregas added another 2 goals and Eduardo getting himself on the scoresheet. Saha score a consolation goal for the toffees.
