Yep, that’s what the Tigers did to the Foxes under the caretaker stewardship of Mike Phelan. While Robert Snodgrass scored the winner, it was tough to credit who grabbed the opener: Abel Hernandez or Adama Diomande?
Even the official Premier League account had a sense of humour about it:
Sergio Aguero’s penalty and a Paddy McNair own goal on his debut gave Pep Guardiola a winning start to life at Man City, despite Jermain Defoe briefly bringing Sunderland level.
The big team news saw Joe Hart dropped, and Yaya Toure not even involved:
Aside from Joe Hart, feels telling that Yaya Toure not even among the subs for Pep Guardiola’s first game. Toure fit, just not selected.
If some games still had that early season feel, then the wide open encounter between the Gunners, without a senior centre back, and Liverpool certainly wasn’t one of them.
Theo Walcott grabbed the opener for the hosts, only to see Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana strike either side of half-time to turn this game on its head.
Coutinho then netted again with Sadio Mane joining him for the Merseysiders. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calum Chambers later added some respectability to the scoreline for Arsene Wenger at the Emirates. He won’t have been deaf to the boos at the final whistle, though.
