On the first Saturday of the Premier League season there was plenty of drama to enjoy.
Letâs take a look at what went on.
What happened?
Liverpool delivered a 2-0 win over newly-promoted Ipswich Town, with a vastly improved second-half performance.
Arsenal began their challenge for the title with a 2-0 win over Wolves, with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
It was an utterly miserable day for Everton as they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat at home to Brighton, with veteran Ashley Young receiving a red card.
Meanwhile, Newcastle kicked off their season with a win at home to Southampton, and a late equaliser handed Bournemouth a point with a 1-1 draw away at Forest.
Player of the day
New haircut, same old Salah.
The Egyptian star netted in Liverpoolâs opening day game with Ipswich, making him the outright top scorer in Premier League opening day history with a total of nine goals.
His previous tally of eight tied the record with Premier League legends Frank Lampard, Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney.
And now he has surpassed them.
In fact, Salah has never failed to score or provide an assist on the first day of the season, going right back to a goal against Watford in 2017, with his assist total now standing at four in Premier League openers.
Liverpoolâs star winger now has now scored and assisted in 32 Premier League games, and is closing in on Wayne Rooneyâs record of 35.
That one will surely be next to fall.
Stat of the day
With a 3-0 defeat at Goodison Park in what will be the final season at the famous old ground, uncertainty over ownership and potential points deductions, things couldnât really be much worse for Everton fans right now.
To compound that misery, veteran Ashley Young made an unwanted entry into the record books when he was sent off against Brighton.
At 39 years and 39 days old, the full-back became the oldest player ever to be sent off in the history of the Premier League.
Thatâs eight years younger than Brightonâs new boss, Fabian HĂŒrzeler.
