Liverpool and Chelsea set Premier League first with ideal starts

Erik Lamela pulled one back in stoppage time.

Fantastic we won all of them, fantastic we improved during the season.

"After that we had pretty good results and I don't think we conceded a lot of goals".

"Today, we had 85 brilliant minutes and then unfortunately we didn't finish the game off".

"In some periods they were better and showed more individual quality in moments and they created more chances because they were good".

A ideal start through five games is not unheard of in the Premier League as Chelsea themselves have done it four times, though both of Liverpool's previous five-for-five came in the old First Division.

"I don't wait for problems, but I am old enough to know they will come. We have seen that we can do it", Klopp said. "We will see if we can do so".

Skripal suspects claim they were tourists
The two men admitted they may have passed Mr Skripal's house by chance "but we don't know where it is located", Mr Petrov said. The two men said they had visited England purely to see tourist sites such as Stonehenge.

But despite the win, the victory was soured by what was a horrific injury suffered by Firmino.

And for the sake of the spectacle, the Premier League would also benefit from this type of fixture being played without both sides having to juggle their squads because of the draining effects of travelling the globe that worldwide football can have on their players.

In a post-match media conference, Pochettino was asked if much of his squad returning from the World Cup late has had an impact on his side's performances, but he replied: "I don't want now to complain about the World Cup". "Gary should come over and tell me exactly how that would work".

"It was a free-kick for Tottenham, right? It's something to do with the eye and for sure it's uncomfortable for him", Klopp said.

But when you consider that Spurs possess two of the most highly rated centre-backs in the Premier League in Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, it doesn't stack up that they have become so vulnerable when defending crosses and set-pieces.

The Brazil forward was eventually forced off, holding a pad to his eye, and was sent to hospital for further checks which confirmed an abrasion but no threat of lasting damage. At this stage, the No.9 has not been ruled out.
