EPL results: Chelsea, Tottenham secure wins as Liverpool drop points

Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 at the Goodison Park on Saturday evening to begin their English Premier League (EPL) season on a winning note.

Jorginho’s penalty was enough for the Blues to secure the win following a turbulent summer transfer window.

Thomas Tuchel handed debuts to Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, and the latter gave a stellar performance at the back with a clean sheet on his EPL baptism.

Tottenham were the biggest winners so far of the opening EPL weekend following a 4-1 comeback victory over Southampton at their London Stadium.

Goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, Muhammed Salisu and Dejan Kulusevski cancelled out James Ward-Prowse’s opener to send the Lillywhites to the top of the EPL table.

Liverpool were however held to a 2-2 draw at Fulham.

RESULTS

• Fulham 2-2 Liverpool
• Newcastle 2-0 Nottingham Forest
• Bournemouth 2-0 Aston Villa
• Leeds 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
• Tottenham 4-1 Southampton
