5 things we learnt from match day 1 of the 2018/2019 Premier League season.

#2 Sadio Mane is the man for the curtain raisers

Mane scored a brace in Liverpool's 4-0 win vs West Ham

Sadio Mane became the first Liverpool player to score in three consecutive opening matches since John Barnes between 1989-1990 and 1991-1992. The Senegalese has become a vital cog in Klopp's set up. He has been very consistent and this remarkable feat demonstrates how he is enjoying his role in Liverpool. Mane scored in the 2016/2017 opener against Arsenal. He scored the only goal in the opener against Crystal Palace in 2017/2018. And now he scored a brace against West Ham in 2018/2019. So Liverpool's opponent in the 2019/2020 opener, beware!

#1 Pogba is not a happy man

Pogba scored from the spot to

kickstart

Manchester United's season

Paul Pogba is a player who is always full of energy and after winning a World Cup, one would expect that he would have more optimism for the new season. Unfortunately, the French midfielder has publicly expressed his unhappiness at the club. Definitely something is wrong and we do not know because Pogba says if he says what is on his mind he may be fined. Pogba failed to celebrate after scoring Manchester United's first goal of the new season. He tweeted after the match and said:

I’ll always give my best to the fans and my teammates no matter what’s going on. #pogfeelings pic.twitter.com/naT9hLHomG
