Review from Saturday's action in the Premier League.


Watford 3-3 Liverpool
Chelsea 2-3 Burnley
Crystal Palace 0-3 Huddersfield
Everton 1-0 Stoke
Southampton 0-0 Swansea
West Brom 1-0 Bournemouth
Brighton 0-2 Manchester City


Premier League champions Chelsea finished with nine men as they slumped to a 3-2 home defeat by Burnley in their first match of the season, while new boys Huddersfield romped to a 3-0 win at Crystal Palace and went top of the table.

Chelsea had captain Gary Cahill dismissed after only 14 minutes following the defender's reckless challenge on Steven Defour, which saw referee Craig Pawson brandish the first red card of the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign.

Burnley saw Sam Vokes' header ruled out for offside, but the Wales forward then put them ahead on 24 minutes when he sent a volley past Thibaut Cortouis.
