5 takeaways from the first weekend of Premier League football

#2 Uneventful but satisfying debuts for world's most expensive goalies

Alisson was a spectator on his official debut

Given the large number of top goalkeeping moves that went down in the transfer window, it was expected that the record will be broken. The record being broken twice, however, wasn't expected but it happened.

Liverpool decided to finally end the uncertainty over their goalie position by paying AS Roma £66m for Brazilian goalie Alison Becker. He couldn't have asked for a more obliging opposition as the Reds easily thrashed West Ham 4-0. Alison had little or nothing to do in goal as the Hammers were unable to cope with the home team's attacking verve.

It was the same for the record holder; Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga as the 22-year-old Spaniard didn't have to make a save of note as the Blues ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at Huddersfield.

Apart from a Stephen Mounie header which came off the bar in the first half, the Spanish international spent the game spraying passes and generally taking it easy. Both teams will face less obliging opposition in their next matches, maybe then, a better idea of what these two men can offer will be formed.
