The fourth round of the 2021/22 Premier League season was dominated by one man, even before a ball was kicked, and Cristiano Ronaldo justified the hype with a typically headline-grabbing second debut for Manchester United.
Back in the United No 7 shirt for the first time since leaving the club for Real Madrid more than 12 years ago, Ronaldo made an immediate impact by scoring twice in the 4-1 win over Newcastle United to send a packed Old Trafford into raptures.
There was also a triumphant return for Romelu Lukaku, who scored his first goals for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the 3-0 victory against Aston Villa as the Belgian striker continues his impressive start to his second spell with the Blues.
The weekend got under way with Crystal Palace inflicting a 3-0 defeat on 10-man Tottenham at Selhurst Park as Nuno Espirito Santo suffered his first Premier League loss as Spurs manager.
Arsenal then got their first points of the season with a 1-0 win over promoted Norwich, while there were also one-goal wins for champions Manchester City at Leicester City and for high-flying Brighton at Brentford.
Wolves collected their first league win of the Bruno Lage era by beating Watford 2-0 at Vicarage Road and Southampton and West Ham played out a goalless draw at St Mary's.
On Sunday, Liverpool maintained their strong start to the season with a 3-0 victory at Leeds United, which saw Mohamed Salah score his 100th Premier League goal, although the occasion was tarnished by a horror injury to Harvey Elliott.
The round then concluded at Goodison Park on Monday night when Everton came from behind to beat Burnley 3-1, thanks in part to a stunning goal by Andros Townsend.
