Matchday 2 of the Premier League is almost complete. Only one match remains – Man City vs Everton – as there were convincing Man United win, an unexpected victory for Chelsea over Spurs, and an all too familiar defeat for Arsenal at Stoke.
Romelu Lukaku’s fine form in front of goals sees him lead the top scorers’ chart with three goals, whilst Henrikh Mkhitaryan has the most assists with four. Here are four interesting stats from round 2 of the English top-flight.
Huddersfield’s impressive debut continues
For a team that is playing in the Premier League for the first time, Huddersfield’s first two games went superbly well. There was the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, which they followed up on with a 1-0 victory over Newcastle.
They are now the first club since the league’s inception to win their first two Premier League games.
Man United reach feat with back-to-back wins
Thought the Red Devils’ 4-0 win over West Ham was a fluke? Mourinho’s men silenced the critics with another identical win, sweeping aside Swansea by the same score line.
The 20-time Premier League champions’ back-to-back 4-0 wins saw them reach an impressive feat – one they have not achieved for 110 years.
