Dzeko took his tally to 6 in three games, while players from no fewer than 13 countries hit the target over the weekend. As Manchester United’s winning margin in the last game of the weekend eclipsed City’s over Tottenham, there was also a hat-trick for Wayne Rooney, the 6th of his Old Trafford career.
Petr Cech
Yes, recently, Petr Cech has not been as powerful as he used to be in the past. Especially in Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat to Sunderland this season, his performance was absolutely below par. However, he is still the pit of Chelsea’s defensive structure, and incontrovertibly, he remains one of the best keepers in the EPL.
His reflex, punches, and catches—thanks to his height—have deeply troubled opposing forwards over the years, and every time the Londoners get into action, it is unlikely that the Premier League title holders will concede much. Sadly for them, this has not been the case lately, but today, Petr Cech could find back his form and stand as the shield of the visitors against Arsenal the Gunners.
Arsenal’s Carlos Vela as well as Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and David Villa are three among 13 players in total to have scored 2 goals after match-day 2. Above these players in the top scorers chart, Inter Milan’s Samuel Eto’o, Olympique Lyonnais’ Michel Bastos, Chelsea’s Nicolas Anelka, and AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic have all netted more than 2 goals. We take a look back at their goals through video highlights.
1) Samuel Eto’o – Inter Milan: 4 Goals
The Cameroonian looks to have found back his goal scoring touch. Years ago during his spell at Barcelona, bagging goals seemed to be an easy task for Samuel Eto’o whose partnership with Ronaldinho was delightful for lovers of the beautiful game.
