LONDON, Aug. 27 -- The third weekend in the Premier League has given plenty of things to talk about as Wolverhampton Wanderers showed that reigning Champions Manchester City are human after all, Unai Emery had good and bad news and Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez tried to do the impossible: win a game without his side having the ball.
Wolves 1-1 with Man City was a great way to kick off the weekend with the newly promoted side once again showing they are not going to be intimidated by reputation and on this occasion their defense also performed.
Manchester City have looked like a well-oiled machine in the opening weeks of the season and it was refreshing to see a rival with the courage to try to take the game to them and get a reward for their efforts.
Maybe Newcastle boss, Benitez could take a page out of the Wolves notebook: his side lost 2-1 to Chelsea who had 81 percent of possession in St James' Park.
Benitez could argue that he was missing players through injury and that his team were minutes away from clawing a point, but his tactics never looked as if they were going to give Newcastle the points against a Chelsea team that looks fired up and hungry and kept going until the end.
Both Arsenal's Unai Emery and West Ham's Manuel Pellegrini needed a win when their two sides clashed at the Emirates and in the end it was Emery who claimed the points as Arsenal won the London derby 3-1.
That should have taken the pressure off Emery, but the absence of Mesut Ozil from the Arsenal starting 11, sparked rumors of a training ground argument with the coach. Emery insisted Ozil was out due to sickness but nobody will have failed to see that Arsenal were closer to finding the intensity Emery is looking for without him on the pitch.
