Twelve teams in action as Barclays Premier League kicked off today

“You want more from him on goalscoring”.

We’ve enjoyed a hugely successful pre-season which culminated in lifting the Community Shield with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Wembley last weekend.

Manchester United open the top-flight season in Saturday’s early fixture at home to Tottenham.

Real won their first La Liga title in four years in 2012 but the next season was turbulent as dressing-room divisions with established players, such as keeper Iker Casillas and defender Sergio Ramos, left Mourinho feeling unloved in the capital.

But to their credit, Swansea fought their way back into the contest after the break and equalised for a second time through Bafetimbi Gomis’s penalty after Thibaut Courtois had brought down the Frenchman.

The west Londoners finished eight points clear of second placed Manchester City and rarely looked like surrendering the lead in a title race they led for virtually the entire season. Steven Fletcher pulled another one back for Sunderland, but it ended 4-2 at the King Power Stadium with Leicester momentarily top of the league. He wants to succeed and no doubt that is why he has come to us. Mexican Miguel Layun fired Watford ahead on the half-volley in the first half after Everton failed to clear.

“Now I have seen him first hand in training on a daily basis and his finishing is unbelievable”.

“But the message to the team was to have a go and the best chances fell to us”.

Chelsea looked unsafe going forward and they were in front after 23 minutes when Oscar’s free-kick came through a crowded penalty area and found the far corner of the net.

The draw was a disappointing start to the season for a disjointed Chelsea, but Mourinho declined to speak on the refereeing-replays indicated Courtois’ red card challenge, for instance, might have taken place just outside the box.
