Relentless Arsenal, unflappable Bees - and mixed bag in EFL: Weekend roundup

Picture : Wikimedia Commons / Steve Daniels Arsenal made it four wins out of four in the Premier League thanks to a David Raya penalty save and a wonderful first goal from Bruno Guimaraes at Sunderland. Bukayo Saka's injury-time penalty secured a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light, where the Gunners dropped two points last season in a 2-2 draw. Mikel Arteta should have been beaming after a victory which comes at the end of a week where Chelsea were overcome at the Emirates and Napoli in Italy in...

Chelsea (1) 2 v Hull City (2) 2 Rogers 7 Belloumi 28 Belloumi 34 João Pedro 66 By Kaz Mochlinski at Stamford Bridge Premier League Matchweek 4 Chelsea’s latest reset with the appointment of Xabi Alonso as manager is not looking like it will conjure a new era of instant success on the evidence of Hull City’s 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. Just as in their defeat at Arsenal six days beforehand, Chelsea’s attack was unable to compensate for substantial shortcomings in defence, with goals from...

Spurs boss feels wins are coming after Everton blank

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi shares his thoughts after the Toffees clash Roberto De Zerbi says he is still searching for a 90 minute display from his goal-shy Tottenham side after failing to build on a bright start against Everton. Spurs began the game very much on the front foot and caused the visiting defence plenty of problems in the opening half hour. But once again they failed to capitalise in the final third and remain without a goal in the Premier League this season, as Everton...

Spurs fail to end goal drought against Everton - check out our player ratings

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Here is how we rated Tottenham's players in today's 0-0 draw with Everton. Antonin Kinsky 7 – Good save to push behind James Garner’s first half stoppage time free-kick and used his head to somehow deny Thierno Barry an early second half breakthrough. Lucky to see Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall fire straight at him from his poor clearance. Archie Gray 6 – Required treatment for a back injury early on and then struggled to deal with the pace of Tyrique George, whose 50th...

Spurs make unwanted history after extending scoreless start to six hours as Everton are latest to shut them out

Back for more punishment in N17 Premier League Tottenham Hotspur (0) 0 Everton (0) 0 For the first time in their storied history, Spurs have failed to score in their opening four games of a season. Boos greeted the final whistle after yet another afternoon of frustrating toil which began promisingly but fizzled out against a familiar backdrop of increasingly disenchanted home fans. The Lilywhites really don't seem to like their own home. It was just a few weeks ago against the same opposition...

New season teething problems remain for Leyton Orient as Wycombe exploit some fragile defending

Brisbane pride : Picture by @YTJournp League One Leyton Orient (1) 2 Grimmer og 37, Kabia 52 Wycombe Wanderers (2) 3 Wareham 13, Onyedinma 45+2, Harvie 47 Leyton Orient fans are still wondering whether they are in for a season which resembled the excellent promotion push of two seasons ago or the one which saw an uncomfortable time just above the relegation zone last term. This match will have done little to reassure them that the likely pathway is towards glory as they fell to a third...

By Alessandro Schiavone at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona Napoli 0-1 Arsenal Goal: Odegaard 75' Arsenal bounced back from their heartbreaking Champions League final loss in Budapest by kicking off the new edition with a 1-0 win at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. But Ben White, Piero Hincapie, Mikel Merino, Bruno Guimaraes, Noni Madueke all owe Martin Odegaard a dinner at a fancy London restaurant. Because the Norwegian’s 75th minute long ranger off the post from a delicious Tzolis cutback...

Sunset Boulevard of south London. The Den prepares : Picture by @YTJourno League Cup Third Round Millwall (0) 0 Newcastle United (0) 1 Willock 81 Sometimes you don't need a ton of goals for a thriller. A solitary Joe Willock goal with about 10 minutes to play was just enough to see the Premier League boys overcome the Lions in a rip-roaring encounter in which Millwall filled their fans with pride. Theirs was a great effort to contain and aim for a swift break or two and set pieces to cause...

Eagles v Boro: Pic by JTaylorSport Crystal Palace 3 Middlesbrough 0 It was a tie which had the potential for an upset - but Crystal Palace eased into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, thanks to a brace of headers by Jorgen Strand Larsen and a fine chipped goal by Daichi Kamada against Middlesbrough at Selhurst Park.

We mustn't lose faith, says Bromley chief after derby reverse at hands of AFC Wimbledon

No room for self-pity. Andy woodman in usual no-nonsense form post-match : Picture by @YTJourno Bromley's bid to get back on an even keel after two fearful batterings in the past week fell flat, as they were well beaten by south London rivals AFC Wimbledon. Monday night's 2-0 defeat at Hayes Lane may not have been as embarrassing as the 7-2 shellacking at Sheffield Wednesday or the 5-0 home defeat to Orient but it suggests a worrying direction of travel for the Ravens as they try to adapt to...

AFC Wimbledon boss the League One 'Strugglers derby' as Injuries sum up Bromley woes

It was a buzzy Copperjax Community Stadium ahead of kick off : Picture by @YTJourno League One Bromley (0) 0 AFC Wimbledon (1) 2 Stockley 8 Hippolyte 67 It may be too early in the season to be overly significant, but it still felt important. Bromley did not concede the avalanche of goals that have descended on them in the past week, but they were still very much second best at Hayes Lane against an altogether slicker AFC Wimbledon. The Dons scored in each half and were less hampered by...
