7 Ups & 5 Downs From Premier League 2019/20 Opening Weekend

1. Saturday’s Goal Fest

Liverpool and Norwich may have got things up and running with a five-goal offering on the Friday night, but the opening Saturday of the 2019/20 Premier League season kept that momentum going and delivered an impressive 17 goals across six games.

That’s an average of nearly three goals per game, which is a great start to the campaign for those fans who were hoping for goals, goals, and more goals.

Of course, a key part of the impressive goal tally of Saturday’s matches was the fact that Manchester City scored 5 and Burnley, Brighton and Spurs all grabbed three goals apiece.

After a long summer of boring Saturdays, the Premier League was back with a bang.
