‘Italians’ Ronaldo, Lukaku Set Premiership On Fire

Two imports from Italy Cristiano Ronaldo now of Manchester United and Romelu Lukaku each scored a brace to set their teams to firm victories in the Saturday round of premiership league matches.

Manchester United are now on top of the league table with 10 points followed by Chelsea who have 10 points also and the same goal difference with Manchester United but with a superior number of goals.

United won their match against Newcastle by 4-1 while Chelsea won by 3-0 against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Tottenham who were on top of the league table before the Saturday fixtures shockingly collapsed at Crystal Palace by 0-3, a defeat that was also facilitated by a red card.

Defending champions Manchester City won a third straight league game with a 1-0 win at Leicester City just as Arsenal were lifted from the relegation zone after their first victory of the campaign, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on target in a 1-0 win over Norwich City.

Whereas Lukaku had his shine just before the international break with his first Chelsea goal, the Saturday return of Ronaldo to Manchester United enlivened the day when he scored twice to put his team ahead of hard fighting Newcastle.
