The first round of the Premier League continued, with two games tonight. Brentford beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at home. In this game, Brentford broke through the Crystal Palace's gate in the 29th minute. Mbeumo broke into the penalty area and dribbled inside to score. In the second half, Crystal Palace equalized the score with Pinnock's own goal. In the 76th minute of the game, Brentford scored again. This time, Visa scored a goal in front of the goal. Although Brentford had 5 fewer shots than Crystal Palace in the whole game, the quality of the shots was higher, scoring 2 goals and defeating Crystal Palace. This is also the first time in Brentford's history that they have defeated Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The two sides had played against each other 6 times in the Premier League before, with Brentford drawing 5 and losing 1. This time, Brentford finally ended the curse of not winning against Crystal Palace.

Chelsea played against the defending champion Manchester City at home. This was a huge challenge for Chelsea, after all, Chelsea had not defeated Manchester City for a long time. In this game, Chelsea fielded an offensive combination of Jacson, Palmer, Enzo and Nkunku. This is an offensive combination with a total value of 2.5 billion euros. However, facing the very strong Manchester City, Chelsea's offensive combination did not play to its full potential. Chelsea played conservatively at the beginning of the game, but the goal was still broken in the 18th minute. Haaland relied on his super personal ability to break through the goal guarded by Robert Sanchez. Although Jacson also scored a goal later, it was ruled invalid due to offside.
