LONDON – Erling Haaland bagged a double to fire Manchester City to a perfect start in a 4-0 rout of Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Tottenham Hotspur kicked off the Thomas Frank era with a 3-0 win over Burnley on the first Saturday of the Premier League season.

Sunderland celebrated their return to England’s top flight with a 3-0 victory over West Ham United, while Aston Villa survived defender Ezri Konsa’s dismissal to salvage a 0-0 draw against Newcastle United with the visitors missing want-away striker Alexander Isak.

On the south coast, Rodrigo Muniz’s last-gasp goal gave Fulham a 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Pep Guardiola’s revamped City got the season off to a flying start, with Haaland—who has scored in the opening game in all his four seasons in the league—striking in each half, and newcomers Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki scoring debut goals in what City will hope was the first step toward erasing last season’s third-place disappointment

“(Reijnders) is an incredible, big signing for us,” Guardiola said. “His work ethic, a holding midfielder occupies a lot of spaces and then after the control with the ball and his movements, and then he is trying to get in behind and score—really pleased.”

Wolves supporters paid heartfelt tribute to former striker Diogo Jota throughout their first league outing since he and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in July.

At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs gave Frank a comprehensive victory in his first home match in charge thanks to a dazzling double from Richarlison, while it was a harsh welcome back to the league for Burnley.
