The second weekend of the Premier League confirmed Manchester United's dominance, Chicharito's tenacious instincts and some very silly red cards. 

Jose Mourinho's squad demonstrated once again how good they are this season, both offensively and defensively, as United defeated Swansea 4-0 at Liberty Stadium in the early fixture. That's eight goals in two matches, none conceded as Lukaku, Pogba and Martial ended up on the scoreboard.

Meanwhile, two goals from Chicharito weren't enough as Southampton scored a late winner thanks to Charlie Austin, making it 3-2 on the day. The job was not made easier for the East London team as Marko Arnautovic was sent off for a ridiculous elbow on Jack Stephens after only 30 minutes. Bournemouth is also having a bad start to the season, as Eddie Howe's men fell to Watford 2-0 (the Cherries are now 0-2) and Liverpool scraped through against Palace thanks to Sadio Mané.
