Man Utd stutter, Arsenal comeback & Chelsea pull through

Well, what a beautiful day of footy it was today, the top teams were on display and while Arsenal and Chelsea grabbed all three points defending champs,Manchester United had a bad day in the office and only managed a 0-0 draw and losing Wayne Rooney just before the half-time break.
Arsenal got on with life without Henry with a 2-1 win over London rivals Fulham, it was no stroll in the park though as Fulham went ahead as early as the 1st minute and had many chances to increase the lead, however Arsenal were playing at home and losing was not an option, especially on the very first day of the new season, for me the higlight in the game was Fabregas pass to Hleb for Arsenal’s second and winning goal.
Chelsea meanwhile would be bitterly dissapointed to have conceded 2 goals so early in the season but than again they were without captain John Terry.I always thought Glen Johnson was a decent rightback but if he continues playing like this he might cause a lot of damage to the Chelski campaign which explains why Jose wants Sevilla’s Daniel Alves.Chelsea finish the game 3-2 winner with debutants Pizarro and Malouda on the scoresheet while work horse Michael Essien scored the winning goal, but the bad news for Chelsea was that he has sustained a knee ligament injury.
