New Delhi: Tottenham Hotspur hammered Burnley in their opening game of the Premier League 2025/26 season. Richarlson scored a brace, and Johnson also netted to help the North-London club win three points. Sunderland have made a dream start to their Premier League campaign as they thrashed West Ham 3-0 at the Stadium of Light.
Eliezer Mayenda scored the first goal of the match in the second half, and Dan Ballard doubled Sunderland's lead, while Wilson Isidor put the icing on the cake by scoring in added time. Rodrigo Muniz netted a last-second equaliser to earn Fulham a point after a tough battle against Brighton at American Express Stadium.
Thomas Frank is off to a perfect Premier League start as Richarlison scored twice to help Spurs beat Burnley. The Brazilian scored the opening goal in the 10th minute of the match, when he turned in a cross from new signing Mohammed Kudus. The duo combined again in the 60th minute when Richarlison volleyed a well-timed shot into the net to double Spurs' lead.
Just six minutes later, Brennan Johnson scored the third goal on the counter-attack after Richarlison won the ball back in midfield as Burnley struggled to deal with the North-London club's press and intensity. The visitors also put in great efforts and managed to get forward in the opponent's box, taking nearly as many shots as Spurs, but they lacked quality in finishing.
Sunderland made a stunning Premier League return with a 3-0 victory against West Ham United at the Stadium of Light. Both teams had their chances in the first half, but failed to convert them. Mayenda scored the opening goal of the match in the 61st minute with a sublime header.
Led by new captain Granit Xhaka, Sunderland looked much more organised and dangerous in transition, with Habib Diarra causing lots of trouble to West Ham with his direct play. Just 12 minutes later, Dan Ballard doubled Sunderland's lead. Substitute Wilson Isidor then completed a magnificent day for the Black Cats with a sensational finish in stoppage time.
Substitute Rodrigo Muniz struck a dramatic added-time equaliser as Fulham grabbed a 1-1 draw against Brighton. The Brazilian forward netted six minutes after the 90 when the hosts failed to clear Harry Wilson's corner.
Brighton were on their way to start the season with three points after Matt O’Riley converted a 55th-minute penalty following Sander Berge’s foul on Georginio Rutter. Fulham dominated possession after falling behind, but rarely tested Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen before the late drama.
