Bournemouth got their first win of the season, but not before letting their hosts Nottinham Forest race into a 2-0 lead. Chelsea earned a hard-fought win over West Ham despite going behind and Ivan Toney showed once again that he’s a lethal striker – as Leeds defenders will sadly testify!Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth met in very different moods. The hosts brought in a whole army of new players while the Cherries suffered a terrible week with an Anfield drubbing and the departure of Scott Parker.Cheikhou Kouyate rose the highest a headed a Morgan Gibbs-White corner into the net to bring jubilation at a packed City Ground in Nottingham. It got even worse when a penalty was awarded for a handball, allowing Brennan Johnson to slot the penalty in and double Forest’s lead. It was all going well for Steve Cooper and his players. But the match was far from won.WHAT A COMEBACK FROM BOURNEMOUTH! IT’S FINISHED 3-2! #NFOBOU pic.twitter.com/yUPFkBDNwq— The Premier League Club (@TPLCSports) September 3, 2022 Forest found themselves in an unfamiliar position – they were leading in a Premier League game by two goals. They relaxed a bit too much and were punished. Dominic Solanke and Phillip Billing scored two great goals to level for the visitors. Jaidon Anthony finished off an incisive Cherries counter-attack to score the third and complete the comeback.The Toffies show teeth, the Reds continue to drop points in the title raceIvan Toney continued to torment Premier League defenders. He scored a penalty and a sublime free-kick to give his Brentford side a 2-0 lead over Leeds. Jesse Marsch’s men got back in the game just before the break through Luis Sinisterra. This was Toney’s day, though, and the England’s World Cup hopeful completed his hat-trick before the hour. Marc Roca thought he’s ensured a nervy finish with a goal on 79 minutes but Bryan Mbeumo didn’t agree. He scored just three minutes later to restore a two-goal cushion and make it 4-2. There was still time to further humiliate the visitors from Yorkshire when Wissa bagged the fifth in injury time.◉ Penalty◉ Free-kick ◉ Outside the box Ivan Toney has scored his second Premier League hat-trick of 2022. 🎩 pic.twitter.com/2werXaP3xg— Squawka News (@SquawkaNews) September 3, 2022 Wolverhampton started well in their match against Southampton but had to wait until the final seconds in the first half to get the deserved goal. Matheus Nunes broke down the left and whipped a brilliant cross to the back post for Daniel Podence to beat Gavin Bazunu. It was to prove the only goal of the match.These two 💙🤙 pic.twitter.com/yFUzdZx6e4— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) September 3, 2022 Bernd Leno was once a part of the fiery North London derby while wearing a shirt of Arsenal. Today, he made the short trip to Tottenham Stadium with his new Fulham teammates and performed heroics against the rampant Spurs. However, he couldn’t do anything to prevent Pierre-Emile Hojberg from scoring the opening goal. Harry Kane got his goal 20 minutes from time to ensure the points stayed in Antonio Conte’s grasp. His goal made him the third-highest goalscorer in Premier League history. He’s now at 188 goals and is looking ahead to overtaking Wayne Rooney (208) and Alan Shearer (260). Another fine goalscorer continued his streak. Aleksandar Mitrovic reduced the deficit, but it wasn’t enough for Cottagers to avoid defeat.FULL-TIME Chelsea 2-1 West Ham A remarkable finale to the match ends in Chelsea’s favour, as they battle back from a goal down to beat West Ham#CHEWHU pic.twitter.com/VaDsYYQS9b— Premier League (@premierleague) September 3, 2022 Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz both scored to complete Chelsea’s hard-fought comeback against West Ham United as Stamford Bridge. Michail Antonio scored a scrappy opener, but the Blues managed to claim the points with new boy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looking on from the director’s box. The Hammers thought they equalized just a minute after Havertz had made it 2-1, but the goal was denied after a VAR review spotted a foul on Edouard Mendy.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 6SaturdayEverton – Liverpool 0-0Brentford – Leeds 5-2 (2-1)/Toney 30 pen, 43, 58, Mbeumo 80, Wissa 90+2 – Sinisterra 45+1, Roca 79/Chelsea – West Ham 2-1 (0-0)/Chilwell 76, Havertz 88 – Antonio 62/Newcastle – Crystal Palace 0-0Nottingham Forest – Bournemouth 2-3 (2-0)/Kouyate 34, Johnson 45+2 – Billing 51, Solanke 63, Anthony 87/Tottenham – Fulham 2-1 (1-0)/Hojberg 40, Kane 75 – Mitrovic 83/Wolves – Southampton 1-0 (1-0)/Podence 45+1/19.30: (8.00) Aston Villa (5.30) Man.City (1.43)Sunday 16.00: (1.96) Brighton (3.50) Leicester (4.50)18.30: (2.70) Man.Utd.
