Debutant Slimani Brace Helps Leicester Beats Burnley and Arsenal Impressive Show Continues


Premier League champions Leicester City back to the winning ways in the league after 4-1 loss against Liverpool at Anfield last weekend as they thrashed newly-promoted Burnley 3-0.

Leicester's record new signing from Sporting Lisbon Islam Slimani marked his Premier League debut with a brace to fire the champions to a deserved victory. Leicester City dominated the game and Slimani scored twice with a header in the 45th and 48th minute of the match.

The striker opened the scoring just before the half-time with a header from Christian Fuchs' free-kick. He made it two after the restart with another header and Ben Mee's own goal completed the miserable day for the new boys.

Last season PFA player of the season had a slow start to the new campaign but his two goals in the midweek's Champions League win over Club Brugge helped restore his confidence. He was excellent today with his runs, superb skills and he assisted the second and the third goal.

Arsenal's impressive show in the Premier League continues as they beat high-flying Hull City by 4-1, thanks to the brace from their star forward Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez opened the scoring after the 17th minute with a deflecting helping his goal, but soon he missed the chance to go two goals ahead with a penalty missed. Theo Walcott then doubled the Gunners lead in the 55th minute, but it was Robert Snodgrass who converted the penalty to give Hull City some hope.

Sanchez soon restored Arsenal's two goal lead, and Granit Xhaka put the final score on the board. Arsenal will now visit Nottingham Forest in the EFL cup, while Hull visit Stoke City in the same competition.
