Richarlison and Roberto Pereyra each found the net twice to become unlikely top scorers following the first Saturday of the 2018/19 Premier League season.
Pereyra’s brace saw off Brighton & Hove Albion at Vicarage Road, while two goals weren’t enough for Richarlison and 10-man Everton to take three points off Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
There were more unfamiliar scorers as N’Golo Kante netted to help Chelsea beat Huddersfield Town 3-0 and go top. Jan Vertonghen and Dele Alli scored as Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 away to Newcastle United, but last season’s Golden Boot runner-up Harry Kane continued his curious struggles to score in August.
