Chelsea’s Lukaku back with a bang, ManU held by Southampton

Agency :
Romelu Lukaku may be Chelsea’s record signing but every penny spent to bring the Belgian international looks to be money well-spent judging by his (second) debut for the club away to Arsenal.
In the 2-0 win at the Etihad Stadium, the powerful center-forward opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a simple tap-in to finish a move he had started and he also had a role at the start of the move, which ended with Reese James smacking home Chelsea’s second in the 35th minute.
Bernd Leno denied Lukaku a second goal when he tipped his shot onto the bar. Arsenal, with two defeats from two games and no goals, look to be in trouble.
Mason Greenwood’s second goal in two games saw Manchester United save a point on their visit to Southampton and also equal the Premier League record of 27 away games without defeat (which had been set by Arsenal).
Southampton took the lead after Che Adams’s shot deflected Fred to leave David de Gea stranded.
Great footwork from Paul Pogba helped set up Greenwood’s equalizer in the 54th minute and it looked as if United would go on to claim their second win of the season.
However, Southampton dug deep and only a great save from De Gea in the closing minutes denied Adam Armstrong, a winner for the ‘Saints.’
Dele Ali’s 9th-minute penalty after Wolverhampton keeper Jose Sa brought him down was enough to give Tottenham their second 1-0 win of the season.
