The Premier League roared back into action over the weekend — and we have all the fallout from a frantic set of opening fixtures.

Chelsea starlet Trevoh Chalobah and Manchester United’s midfielders are in the spotlight, while we also round up the latest transfer news and look ahead to the midweek Champions League qualifiers.

Back with a bang

With 34 goals spread across the opening 10 fixtures, it is fair to say English football’s top tier returned with a bang.

Bruno Fernandes notched a hat-trick while Paul Pogba laid on four assists in the 5-1 romp.
