London, August 28: After Chelsea continued their 100 percent start with a 3-0 win over Burnley Saturday, a last-gasp goal by young sensation Marcus Rashford helped Jose Mourinho keep pace with his old club as Manchester United beat Hull City 1-0.
Elsewhere, Arsenal and champions Leicester City picked up their first Premier League wins of the season by beating Watford and Swansea City respectively.
Manchester United, known as ‘Red Devils’ joined the Londoners on nine points when they sank Hull thanks to a stoppage-time effort by substitute Rashford. United were frustrated in wet conditions by Hull’s dogged defending before Rashford struck by converting Wayne Rooney’s cross.
Earlier, goals from Eden Hazard, Willian and Victor Moses secured the top spot in the table for Chelsea, known as ‘The Blues’ after a one-sided encounter at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard again showed he was back to his best this term with a brilliant solo goal in the ninth minute against Burnley. The Belgium winger also played a part in the second goal by Brazil midfielder Willian before substitute Moses rounded off a sweeping late Chelsea move.
In another game, first-half goals by Santi Cazorla (penalty), Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil gave Arsenal a 3-1 win at Watford to ease the pressure on manager Arsene Wenger. Debutant Roberto Pereyra pulled one back for Watford with an unstoppable drive.
Leicester got back to winning ways after Jamie Vardy’s trademark strike and Wes Morgan’s second-half goal downed Swansea 2-1 at a rain swept King Power Stadium.
