United’s midfield masterclass and Chalobah’s Chelsea dream - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Ben Haines is joined by former Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly and football presenter Nubaid Haroon to reflect on a dramatic first Saturday of the Premier League season with 25 goals to enjoy.

The guys discuss Manchester United’s 5-1 thrashing of Leeds and the performances of hat-trick hero Bruno Fernandes and assist king Paul Pogba.

We hear from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the key role their fans played in the result and what impact such a huge win can have on their season.

Chelsea underlined their title credentials with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace and Trevoh Chalobah explains what it meant to him to score on his Premier League debut.

Virgil van Dijk showed his value to Liverpool on his return to the side as they won comfortably at Norwich and Everton’s comeback win against Southampton was crucial for Rafa Benitez to get the fans on side early on.

Aaron Paul joins us to round-up the biggest talking points from the EFL and then attention turns to Sunday as Manchester City begin their title defence at Tottenham. Will Harry Kane play and what impact can Jack Grealish have in the absence of Phil Foden and Kevin de Bruyne?
