Man City make early Premier League statement after Tottenham start in style
Erling Haaland scored twice but Tijjani Reijnders was the star of Manchester City's 4-0 Premier League win away to Wolves as he marked his Premier League debut with a goal and an assist. Haaland scored in City's opening league game of a season for a fourth consecutive season, tapping in Rico Lewis' cross in the 34th minute, but only after Reijnders' run forward and neat pass had cut open Wolves. Three minutes later the Dutchman got his own goal with a fine finish, and the £34million arrival from Milan then set up Haaland's second just after the hour. Substitute Rayan Cherki, having replaced Haaland, marked his own Premier League debut with a goal in the 81st minute as Pep Guardiola's side, looking to bounce back from a disappointing campaign last season, got off to an excellent start. Richarlison netted a brace, including a superb scissor kick, and Brennan Johnson scored as Thomas Frank picked up a first league win in charge of Tottenham with a 3-0 victory over Burnley. Frank was without injured pair James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, but Richarlison's double helped Spurs secure a first league win since April 6. Newcastle missed the presence of wantaway Alexander Isak as they shared the spoils in a goalless draw with 10-man Aston Villa. The Magpies could have done with their star man as they failed to find a way past Villa, who had Ezri Konsa sent off in the 66th minute. Sunderland marked their return to the Premier League in style after they swept West Ham aside with a 3-0 win at the Stadium of Light. Following an eight-year absence from the league, the Black Cats went ahead just after the hour mark through Eliezer Mayenda before Dan Ballard's header doubled their advantage. Substitute Wilson Isidor came off the bench to wrap up three points in Sunderland's first Premier League appearance since May 2017. Rodrigo Muniz struck deep into stoppage time as Fulham snatched a 1-1 draw at Brighton. Albion had looked on course to make a winning start to the season when Matt O'Riley tucked home a 55th-minute penalty after Sander Berge brought down Georginio Rutter.

Three goals and a funeral on day of protest at Wednesday
Things can only get better by D:Ream played out at Hillsborough at a dismal summer and with no conclusion to the ongoing uncertainty over the future of Sheffield Wednesday in sight, you would have to assume the DJ knew what they were doing with that was a first home game of the season unlike any other on a day that started with a funeral procession in protest of the running of this famous old club by owner Dejphon it ended with Wednesday, playing their first home game for just shy of four months, being applauded from the field despite a 3-0 Championship defeat by Stoke many ways, it's not really what goes on on the pitch but off it that matters here now. Owls plight is 'absolutely soul destroying' Sheffield Wednesday fans have known more than their share of hard times in the past 25 the turn of the millennium the Owls have suffered relegation from the Premier League, gone down to the third tier on three separate occasions and come close to going into administration more than times have been numerous, while good times have been all-too everything the fans have endured they have continued to turn up and support the team in their now, with players and staff seeing wages delayed for three successive months, late payments to HMRC, transfer embargoes and no takeover on the horizon, this is worse than it has been before. The Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust organised a protest march, featuring a mock funeral, in Hillsborough Park, across the road from the stadium prior to the came a week after 2,000 Owls fans waited outside for the first five minutes of last weekend's defeat at Leicester, while the club only got the go-ahead to open Hillsborough's North Stand for the visit of the Potters on Wednesday."The symbolism of the coffin is the death of the club and we have the dates on the coffin of 1867 when the club was first formed to 2025," chairman of the trust, Ian Bennett, told the BBC."We're hoping people see it's symbolic of what Mr Chansiri is doing to the club. "My grandad and dad were Wednesdayites and my daughters and grandkids are. This is my life and it's absolutely soul destroying what's happening."The Trust have asked its roughly 5,000 members to boycott the Carabao Cup second round tie against Yorkshire rivals Leeds United later this month. 'It must be horrendous' Visiting boss Mark Robins experienced a litany of off-field issues during his time in charge of Coventry, including having to play home games at Birmingham City for two veteran manager and one-time Wednesday striker said he could empathise with what people connected to the club were going through."I feel for them because you've got a really tough situation with the cost of living crisis and people missing their mortgage payments," said Robins following his side's victory."It must be horrendous for everybody. It can bring you together but it can destroy lives as well. It needs to be sorted out."He added: "It's really difficult to give advice in circumstances like this."There's things you can advise but there's no point because unless you're inside you don't know." Whistles and chants give way to apathy before defiant finish These two teams have been playing each other in league football since 1892 but few games between the two can have featured such a bizarre Wednesday fans carrying out a whistle protest from the moment the game started, Stoke moved the ball forward and talented playmaker Million Manhoef was able to cut inside and fire in at the near post inside the first fans then chanted for Thai businessman Chansiri to "get out of the club" but, with Stoke largely on top, the majority of the noise before the break came from the away being a goal down Wednesday were loudly applauded from the field at the break but Robins' men then made it 2-0 with a goal in the first minute of the second Owls did force Viktor Johansson into some sharp stops as they looked to try to get back into the match but were opened up far too easily for Stoke's third, again scored by Manhoef, and with that some fans started to head for the exits.A large proportion had long since left by the time referee Aaron Smith blew for full time but those who remained cheered the home players from the pitch at the end of the Championship season is a long slog and Wednesday have 22 more home league matches to play in a relentless and unforgiving and how things will get better for everyone connected to the club from here remains to be seen.
