We therefore had to wait until this Saturday and the third day of the Premier League to witness Crystal Palace’s first success of the season. Traveling to Fulham, the Eagles won (2-3), giving Pierre Sage the very first victory of his coaching career in the elite of English football.
Trailing twice, the visitors came back each time before Ben Chilwell, who arrived from Strasbourg this summer and entered three minutes earlier, offered his team the winning goal (2-3, 77th). Enough to also allow Crystal Palace to move up to a provisional thirteenth place.
In the other matches which took place simultaneously, only Manchester City won slightly against Coventry (1-0), thanks to the goal of the inevitable Erling Haaland (26th).
Tottenham on the edge of the red zone
The Cityzens are alone in first while awaiting the matches of Arsenal, Hull City and Chelsea. For its part, Newcastle was held to a draw by Bournemouth at home (2-2). Régis Le Bris’ Sunderland managed to save the point from a draw at Brentford (1-1).
Two other draws this Saturday afternoon, with first the sharing of points between Brighton and Leeds (1-1), then that of Tottenham at Nottingham Forest (0-0). After an insane transfer window in financial terms, Roberto De Zerbi’s Spurs have still not won a single match (two defeats and a draw). They could be relegated this evening if Aston Villa win at Hull City (6:30 p.m.).
