What a weekend of Premier League football where upsets were at an all-time high, goals in certain fixtures came in abundance, while others brought forth no goals, but this is not to suggest they were boring encounters.
The newly-promoted clubs, over the first two days of top-flight action, are taking the headlines with brave and rewarding performances, beating some of the heavy hitters in the league for a point or more.
