 Pep kick off with a win

City 2 Sunderland 1. Pep Guardiola’s reign got underway with a win – but also with a warning that his transition will not be a comfortable or easy one.

A late own goal by Paddy McNair, signed from Manchester United a few days ago, clinched the victory, and the Blues deserved the three points.

But Sunderland exposed a frailty or two in this hotch-potch of a defence, and better teams will give City serious problems unless they reinforce quickly.

Willy Caballero stepped in after Joe Hart was dropped – and given a clear sign his future lies away from the club – but he was hardly put under any pressure by the Black Cats.

City won’t find it so easy in Bucharest against fired-up Steaua on Tuesday night, with their Champions League campaign at stake, although they should have Nicolas Otamendi back by then.

The big plus point was Raheem Sterling, who earned Sergio Aguero’s penalty and was a menace throughout – he was bought with Pep in mind, and he already looks twice the player whose season fizzled out in May and who had a dreadful Euros for England.

Second season syndrome hits champions Leicester

Leicester City ’s title defence began with a whimper as crisis club Hull overcame the odds to cause an opening-day upset. 

Jamie Vardy – the Foxes’ 24-goal top scorer last season – failed to take three good first-half chances before the home side took the lead seconds before the interval.

Abel Hernandez and Adama Diomande both had a claim on the goal, as they went for an overhead kick together after Kasper Schmeichel had clawed out a Curtis Davies header from Robert Snodgrass’ corner.

Riyad Mahrez equalised from the penalty spot at the start of the second half after referee Mike Dean ruled that Tom Huddlestone had tripped Demarai Gray.
But Snodgrass drove Hull back into the lead from 20 yards when Danny Simpson cleared Ahmed Elmohamady’s right-wing cross into his path.

 Welcome back Burnley!
Both teams might be tipped for the drop – but if this first-match show of spirit was rewarded, they would stay up.
And when you consider that both are works-in progress, with more possible signings on the way, it’s too early to write them off as certain relegation candidates.

Burnley bossed much of the early play, penning Swansea into their own half – and sent out a warning shot just six minutes into this opening encounter.

Old hand Scott Arfield ran on to a set-up by Welsh International Sam Vokes to lash a first-time, long-range blockbuster that keeper Lukasz Fabianski did well to keep out. A linesman had his flag up, but the ref waved play on.

Southampton’s chances of victory in new boss Claude Puel’s first Premier League game were boosted in the 75th minute when sub Ben
Watson was sent off just 11 minutes after he came on for hauling back Shane Long as he raced through on goal. But Watford held on as Walter Mazzarri began his Hornets reign with a point.

Full-time: Everton 1-1 Tottenham

Full-time at Goodison Park in what was a real game of two halves.

Everton dominated the first half and probably should have led by more than one goal but they were forced to hold on in the end.

Erik Lamela’s equaliser changed the complexion of the game and debutant goalkeeper Stekelenburg came to the rescue for Ronald Koeman.
