- In Hurzeler's inaugural outing, Brighton emerges victorious, while the pitcher suffers a loss.
Fabian Hürzeler got his first taste of the Premier League as Brighton & Hove Albion boss, securing a victory straight away. The Seagulls overpowered Everton 3-0 (1-0), with Kaoru Mitoma (25'), Danny Welbeck (56'), and Simon Adingra (86') netting the goals. Hürzeler, age 31, joined Brighton from Bundesliga newcomers FC St. Pauli during the summer. New recruit Brian Gruda, acquired from FSV Mainz on Thursday, didn't make an appearance.
On the flip side, Niclas Füllkrug suffered a defeat with his new team, West Ham United. The Hammers fell 1-2 (1-1) to Aston Villa. The ex-Dortmund star was kept out of the starting XI and entered the fray in the 73rd minute. Lucas Paquetá (37') scored for West Ham. Villa, meanwhile, received goals from Amadou Onana (4') and Jhon Durán (79').
FC Arsenal started their new season on a winning note against Wolverhampton Wanderers, thanks in part to Kai Havertz's (25') effort, which resulted in a 2-0 (1-0) victory. Bukayo Saka (74') added the second goal.
Liverpool commences Klopp-less era victoriously
Liverpool managed to kickstart their post-Jürgen Klopp journey triumphantly. Under their new manager Arne Slot, the Reds emerged victorious with a scoreline of 2-0 (0-0) at Ipswich Town. In the presence of singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, a local Ipswich supporter, and now a minority owner, Diogo Jota (60') and Mohamed Salah (65') scored for the visitors. Liverpool didn't recruit any new players during the transfer window. The first half was disorganized with Liverpool holding more possession but committing errors and showing little threat upfront. Ipswich put up a brave fight with new signing Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City on the bench. After Jota and Salah's goals, Liverpool seemed relieved and didn't concede anymore, to striking disappointment of Sheeran.
Klopp, aged 57, departed Liverpool in the summer, citing fatigue. Liverpool then brought in Slot, 12 years his junior, as his replacement. Slot had enjoyed success with Feyenoord Rotterdam, including a Dutch championship win and a cup victory.
In the world of football, West Ham United faced a challenging match against Aston Villa and unfortunately suffered a defeat, with the final score being 1-2 (1-1). Niclas Füllkrug, a new addition to the team, came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide for West Ham United F.C.
During the summer transfer window, several Premier League teams made moves, and while Liverpool didn't bring in any new players, their newly appointed manager Arne Slot guided them to a victorious start, defeating Ipswich Town 2-0 (0-0). Despite the absence of Liverpool's iconic manager Jürgen Klopp, West Ham United F.C. will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on their progress.
